Re: [registrars] Credit Card Problem

["Joyce Lin" <joyce@007names.com>]

All,

I have expressed concern about the credit card fraud issue a few weeks ago.
As I said that those abusers tend to go to the extreme, 10 years
registrations. I strongly believe the registry should refund us the
remaining whole years of registration fees when we delete the domain name
after a fraud is discovered.

To request a card code is one more step to reduce the fraud. I have
identified one of our abusers also owns some other domain names and I wish
we registrars could share that type of informations in a private manner.
