Hi,

I just find out yesterday that our former client who made a fraudulent transaction on their domain name:

- use my name as the registrant and whois contact info.
- redirect the fraud site to our site.

Any advise how to handle this issue.
I already contacted the registry about this but still no reply after 12 hours.

I would try using the automated system to get the password ansd then move the domain to a registrar that responds and then take action to delete it.
(or some variant)
If your name is on it, then you can fix it ;)

(Thats assuming you don't have a use for it, but you probably don't want to be associated with it)

What, even without his email address being listed as the contact in WHOIS?

but he said his name is in the contacts - the administrative contact can change the technical contact. (Right? Its late here)
Bit of a pain if the listed email doesnt reach him, but the registrar should have some process for when that happpens.
