Re: [registrars] massive SPAM

[Ken Stubbs <kstubbs@digitel.net>]

i have checked theaffordable-domains  registration agreement and there is no
mention of the ICANN accredited registrar in their agreement.

"1. Our Services
Affordable-domains is a service partner of the Easy-Internic network, of
which Easy-Internic is an authorized domain reseller of an accredited
registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
("ICANN") for Top Level Domain Names (TLDs), currently .com, .net and .org.
ICANN oversees registrations and other aspects of the TLDs."

there is a clear attempt here to "shield"  the registrar from disclosure.
anyone got any ideas who the registrar is ?

this kind of crap needs to be stopped !!
