I had no problem .me-ing at dynadot.

Me too, I've moved to Dynadot for my domain needs after this incident...

I had just bought ping.me from godaddy, i got a successfully bought mail too but after 20 min I get a mail telling me, I can't buy it because it is already registered. Then i did a quick twitter search and found 2 other people had also bought ping.me . Wondering who will get that domain.

"Earlier this year GoDaddy won the rights to distribute domains under the extension .me, which belongs to the country of Montenegro." Blast! I thought it meant "me" as in "myself" and that it was meant for personal pages and such... I didn't see Montenegro mentionned anywhere, in fact namecheap says .me is for personal pages... I wondered why the heck I hadn't heard of .me before today, now I know. So .me is official…

"conned out of" was perhaps too extreme an expression, I should have researched this before rushing to register those domains.
