Reply with quote

In the past, most phishing mails I have received were hijacked, existing websites, with names (or IP addresses) that had no or little relation with the actual phishing target.

Today I received to phishing mails with the following URLs

Code:
http://westernunion.sign-on.us/aspx/regLogin.php

Code:
http://wumt.vvesterunion.us/aspx/RegLogin.php

Now these domain names were obviously registered with the intent of fraud. Both are registered with eNom, a registrar located in Seattle, and well-known for providing services to spammers and scammers. It is unheard of that they have ever taken action against fraudulent domains.

I regularly send them complaints (to 'legal@enom.com') about fraud domains, but never receive any acknowledgment, nor is any action taken.

Any suggestion what should be done, what addresses should be put on the CC list, and why/how they can operate untouched outside of the law?

The infamous k7.net also operates out of Seattle.
