rconner Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Excellent news! Thanks for the post. Here's the original ICANN announcement. One dares hope that ICANN will follow through. Hard to say what impact this would have on spam, although it certainly could lower the proliferation of spammy domains to a dull roar. -- rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilwolf Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Anyone have any pointers on how to submit a compliant about a register-reseller that registers tons of spam domains with a fake address. There is a eNOM reseller-register I really really want to get shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Anyone have any pointers on how to submit a compliant about a register-reseller that registers tons of spam domains with a fake address. ...I've never done it but I guess http://www.icann.org/cgi/contact Contact Form (If you have questions, comments or complaints about accredited registrars, click here to fill in the Complainant Form.) (link in quote included). Your evidence might include the source of lookup data and certainly some sort of proof of address bogosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilwolf Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Thanx Rick and Farelf Just filed a complaint against eNOM for the spam support behavior of their affiliate Namecheap I really wish there was a way to twist yahoo's tail to get them to sue... prob have to wait until MS or some other company with $$$ buys their broke asses. I've tried contacting a few media outlets, but no one seems to want to do stories on SPIM besides a short piece that ZDNET did. The owner of namecheap is funny. He refers to the Better Business Bureau as "extortionists" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilwolf Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Here is the text of my complaint against eNOM... (italics is me) Thank you for your report. We're sorry that you have experienced trouble with your domain registration. We have sent your problem report to ICANN, which will forward it to your registrar. We hope you will be able to resolve the matter to your satisfaction. ICANN will review your problem report and use it in establishing long-term registrar policy. For a complete list of ICANN-accredited registrars, please visit http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html. Name: __________ Organization: Email: antispam[at]_____.biz Phone: Domain: oneniteadultdating.com Real Registrar Name: ENOM, INC. Summary: I have been getting SPIM SPAMMED by domains registered thru namecheap.com which is a reseller for eNOM.com. I have filed Whois Data Problem reports thru ICANN in regards to numerous domains registered thru Namecheap.com by an unknown party using a fake address. Registration Service Provided By: NameCheap.com Contact: support[at]NameCheap.com Visit: http://www.namecheap.com/ Domain name: oneniteadultdating.com Registrant Contact: Biz.biz Chuck Smith 1main st Las Vegas NV 89123 US I have contacted eNOM about this problem but they have not taken any action against their agent namecheap for registering this and many other domains under fake and fraudulent whois contact data. I feel that eNOM and Namecheap.com are engaging in contrived ignorance in allowing their client to keep registering domains under fake contact info. I would like to make it CLEAR that I am not filing this complaint with ICANN about spam but about the fake whois info used by Namecheap/eNOM client on this and the following domains. makemewet.net dailybunnies.com xxxeroticpersonals.com onenitehookups.com sxyhotdating.com sxyxxxdating.com 1nitedates.com superadultdating.com oneniteadultdating.com Issue: compliance-whois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 That's a good report Devilwolf, clear, concise, detailed and entirely pertinent to an addressable issue (whois compliance). Pity the robot response has not been brought up to date - in contrast to the brave front of the new, "no more Mr. Milquetoast" announcements it seems it might be quite unchanged from when ICANN was in its "total abrogation of responsibility"/laissez-faire mode. Makes for some misgiving, right enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilwolf Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 ICANN's HQ is about 20 mins from me... It is tempting to just go down there and hand deliver a copy and ask an human being to sign for it... Cut out of work early, take a nice bike ride down the beach, and visit ICANN swank beachfront HQ. Or pull a "metallica" and drop about 10 pounds of written complaints on their front door.

Miss Betsy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Better yet - make an appointment with someone and hand deliver the report and explain it. Miss Betsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
