I used to report these things but ran into some issues:
1) There is no way I can see to contact anyone at Ali Cloud to report abuse and no expectation they will do anything and I've seen an increasing number of scams hosted on offshore providers with no apparent abuse reporting system.
2) Some registrars and hosting providers want you to sign up with an account first to be able to create a support ticket to report abuse which is very time consuming.
3) I would probably be spending hours per week reporting abuse and it never seems to end. It feels like trying to empty the ocean with a thimble.
So now I just ignore phishing scams.
- n0on3 6y agoYou should be able to find the registar abuse contact information in the whois, in the fields "Registrar Abuse Contact Email" and "Registrar Abuse Telephone Number". Registrars are required to provide these for the accreditation to ICANN [0]. Both email and valid phone number are required.

- onetimeusename 6y agoyes, I meant that more for hosting providers. However, I have never received a response from a registrar when I have contacted them about abuse so I am not sure how useful it is.
