@Namecheap Seriously, I really like you guys but the quality of service and user experience has really dropped. There are two distinct checkout flows when renewing domains and if I decide to renew an expired domain you still charge my credit card but fail to process the domains?

@cybergibbons @pry0cc We had an issue where a number of imitation domains were being stood up on Namecheap's infrastructure. Same domain pattern, same keywords, and the same phishing kit on each. Somehow this wasn't detected. The system they have in place just doesn't work like they think it does.

I've seen some whoppers, but @Namecheap has one of the single worst customer identification procedures for 2FA failure in the history of the world. If I could even log back into that place, I'd cancel all my domains through them.

@Namecheap @MartinSLewis @LSDWN6 Namecheap are saying they will help when they are alerted to the scams. It's a bit unfair to lay the blame with them though. What about the phone provider who allowed the spam text through? What about the SMS service which was used to send the message? Where do you draw the line?

@KathRella @Namecheap @MartinSLewis Interesting…. Nice that their take down times over the last two months have improved; shame people have been commenting on their inaction for 6 years. Also unfortunate that they still don’t understand the words “due diligence” - they should be proactive not reactive.

@ArtMasters33 @Namecheap I'm using @Namecheap, I forgot to add it to the list. I've never tried GoDaddy, because that hasn't added them.

@edent Going to @Mythic_Beasts after a recommendation on here recently (think it was @p0welly) and it's been super fast / smooth process so far - on their end at least. No end of problems on the namecheap end.

@Namecheap The team says it will not be possible to unsuspend the service. The alleged "evidence" is a screenshot of the AVAX Wallet app that I cloned from our project, @avalancheavax. I use the clone myself, and it (as a static site) is not "phishing" anyone. This is so funny.

@cshimwell @StevePeers Every time I see these scams all of the domains are hosted on @Namecheap, it's exactly the same for the Royal Mail scams. They really need to do more to stop their service being abused by scammers.

@Namecheap I never knew anything about domain and catchall email until I found about Namecheap. It was really cool on how domain/catchall worked through Namecheap and made it easy for me to open a domain that I wanted. Without your help, I would not have my custom domain.

@katebevan On numerous occasions I've suggested to @namecheap they do more due diligence up front to help combat these scams, and they always say please log the issue, when all the info that could be supplied is in the image of the text already. Just laziness on their part.
