To complain to ICANN about a registrar's negligence to prevent phishing abuse by domains under registrar's control, we would need solid evidence that the registrar didn't act after being notified.
Whatever it takes to gather such evidence, I would assume it needs to be solid and best a lot of it, too. We may need to pool such evidence somehow.
E.g. 1api.net responded with a ticket no. but hasn't came back to me since too many days. I speak German, but I don't have a burner phone to call them and maintain my anonymity properly. Need to figure out how to do it with proper opsec. I don't really want to link my account here
easily with my real identity
or get doxxed.
@eXch and @eXch Support should in my opinion show clearly on their remaining online domains that any other imposter domains offering coin swap services are a scam
, like exch(.
They)cd still does. exch.cx-->exch.pw clearly tell, they closed their operation. In my opinion they should list the only valid domain names they use(d) and any other domains are imposters with scam intent.
At least neither darknetbible nor monero(.)forex drive traffic to phishing websites of eXch anymore. For whatever that's worth.
If they still funnel traffic to phishing or scam sites, we still have arguments and evidence to have them shut down by whoever can flip the switch.
