Their host is non-responsive and is apparently based in the Netherlands. The people behind the site itself are anonymous, but I highly doubt they're in the US.

Their host is non-responsive and is apparently based in the Netherlands. The people behind the site itself are anonymous, but I highly doubt they're in the US. In order to even attempt to find them we would need a court order against either Namecheap or Quasinetworks, and I expect all we would find is that they paid in Bitcoin and gave fake info.
We could report to the AGs in states where their known targets reside though; perhaps that would be another avenue to potentially get Namecheap to take down the domain.
Edit: also to clarify, it's not that they're stealing our name to run a competing business. They're using our name to straight up steal money from people. Not something we want to try and out-compete them at!
- toomuchtodo 8y agoThere is always an upstream provider. Can’t get the host or their upstream ISP? Go after namecheap as you mentioned for the domain. Good luck.
