Period. How do I know? There&#39;s a clever spammer/hacker/fraudster using subdomains at the website &quot;com-give.com&quot; which is registered through NameCheap. I documented my contact with NameCheap&#39;s abuse department in April on my own blog at http://blog.emlarson.com/2016/04/fwd-mro-489-36585-com-givecom-scam-site.html -- they said, &quot;While the domain name does have Namecheap.com as the registrar, we cannot oversee the data being transmitted through its website.&quot; Thanks to their indifference, an unknown number of people got scammed in August with a fake Aldi site of &quot;aldi.com-give.com&quot; (see https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acom-give.com for a record of that) and who knows how many more sites will pop up before the domain expires next year. I&#39;d chalk it up to a true hands-off attitude, if NameCheap weren&#39;t here bragging that they care about fraud while refusing to deal with a domain that&#39;s fraudulent in-and-of-itself regardless of the scam that might run on a given day. Talk is cheap. Opening refusing to act on a public promise is surprising, but it says a lot about the value of NameCheap&#39;s word.</i>emlarsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393270901671791879noreply@blogger.com
