This is encouraging. We have a big tender (procurement) scam in our country, and I receive at least 10 different emails daily about fake procurement requests (the central gov database was either leaked, or the criminals are working in tandem with its administrators). At times I have reported the impersonating domains, and I'd say that registrars have acted on under 5% of my complaints (within reasonable time). If they use a local domain name, it's easier to complain directly with our country's registry administrator. My problem is often with registrars that are in random countries. It's encouraging that some action is being taken, and I think in future I should also lay complaints with ICANN.

This has been an issue for decades in my experience. ICANN has rules but they do very little to resolve complaints against bad registrars.

It's not just you, and I don't think it's targeted - I'm getting these messages as well on my personal email. This appears to be a major ongoing spam wave.
