Dear Uniforum (http://www.uniforum.org.za/)
We have a question regarding domains that are registered, purely for spamming.
For instance, all of the domains mentioned below are registered (but not paid for) by the same registrant and ready for suspension as per your schedule.
2a. Registrant: Expertmail
- carcoversa.co.za
- get-carcover.co.za
- get-hospitalcover.co.za
- hospitalcovernow.co.za
- sa-lifeinsure.co.za
- sa-life-insure.co.za
- insurance-cover-options.co.za (now paid, still spamming)
- sa-life.co.za (now paid, still spamming)
Their MX and WWW records all points to international ISPs. There are various other domains that we have picked up using the exact same ammo.
Would it be possible for one to log a call with you, as the registrar, and have these domains removed from the COZA Zone, and ban the registrant from registering any additional domains?
2a. registrant : ExpertmaiL
2b. registrantpostaladdress: Po Box 210, CPT,-, , , --
2c. registrantstreetaddress: Po Box 210, CPT
2j. registrantphone : +27.218582244
2k. registrantfax : +27.218582244
2l. registrantemail : [email protected]
The process seems to be
a) register a domain
b) spam
c) COZA suspension & deletion for non-payment
d) register a new domain and repeat
(screenshots available in our photo album on facebook)
We are aware that you are changing the registration process to only allow delegation into the COZA zone after payment received, but given the low cost for a domain, we are not sure it would help curb this particular problem.
Would it not be beneficial for you as the registrar to take a stronger stance against this type of domain abuse? Do you have any legal grounds to be able to do this and would you want to? It is all too easy to register a domain with false details due to lack of verification.
Uniforum, anything you can do about these domains registered purely for spamming or a real validation system for the registrant?
Yours in Anti Spamming!
