So all you've got to do is report to namecheap on the illegal activities the said website is involved in. |

What really happened? Were you scammed by the site owner? |
Re: A Little Help On This by sisqology(m): 12:12pm On May 20, 2013 |
Yes o, I've reported to namecheap, about 1hr ago. I just hope they do something. |

Taking down the website may not a permanent solution. He can still register it elsewhere with another domain name and upload his content again. I can see he's a Nigerian and he has an account with a Nigerian bank. Why not report to the EFCC and EFCC will then direct the bank to alert them any time he comes to make withdrawal. Or to freeze his account. |

Hello,Thank you for your email regarding the domain name pedrosms.com. While the domain name does have Namecheap.com as the registrar, we do not have the ability to oversee what data are being transmitted through its site. We do not own the domain name mentioned in your complaint, we are simply the registrar that the registrant purchased the domain name from.The issue would need to be addressed through the hosting provider to see if their terms of service have been violated, and would need to be addressed through the domain registrant as they should be the individual that would control what particular content is being exchanged. We have no way to police these issues as we do not control the hosting company in this instance.While I understand your issue, we are not in a position where we can make determination of validity of your statements. If you believe you are the victim of an internet crime, or if you are aware of an attempted crime, you can file a complaint through Internet Crime Complaint Center at https://complaint.ic3.gov/ctf.aspx .As we can see the domain pedrosms.com is not accessible now. The issue might be resolved by a hosting provider.---------Regards,Tatie B |

I think Namecheap is right. You hacve to report to the host company but make sure you read their TOS to see if a section was violated. |
Re: A Little Help On This by DualCore1: 9:41am On May 21, 2013 |
Namecheap cannot take down a domain it has registered without hard proof of fraud or a breach. For instance if there was a link to a pornographic content or a fake bank site on any domain they have registered they inform the customer about this and gives them 24 hours to take it down. If nothing is done, Namecheap nullroutes that domain thereby making it useless. In your case, nothing can be proven. Reporting this to your host too will yield nothing much if you do not have a very strong case brought forward. Generally sites won't be taken down for isolated cases of "scam". |

I think we need a site that exposes fraudulent sites like these. |

You still have not given details of how you think you were scammed so it's not likely that anyone will come up with useful suggestions as to what you should do. |
