Frankly, the whole "it's fraud-related so we can't tell you anything nor consider your appeal, because otherwise our adversaries(tm) might take advantage of it"

Frankly, the whole "it's fraud-related so we can't tell you anything nor consider your appeal, because otherwise our adversaries(tm) might take advantage of it" has always seemed like a total sham to me. I've always read that as: "it is inconvenient for us to be accountable." Given how quickly OP's situation turned around, I can't help but wonder if an honest, straightforward explanation would sound absurd. Being forced to produce one might even trigger an agent to rethink an appeal, instead of just saying "Nope, it's fraud, goodbye" - sort of a rubber duck thing. One can dream, I guess.
I know actually engaging with fraudsters is probably a huge time sink, but... I think that probably should just be the cost of doing business. It's definitely not acceptable to delete domain registrations of suspected fraudsters. With no warning.

- temp8964 4y agoExactly. It’s basically we are a big corporation we pay for big lawyers so we can f you if we want to.
- josephcsible 4y agoTo really put into perspective how wrong that is, imagine if courts worked that way. "We've found you guilty and sentenced you to death. No, we're not telling you what you were accused of, let alone letting you defend yourself or appeal."
- apple4ever 4y agoI always found it a bad excuse as well. There is no reason not to have some sort of due process with these important accounts.
