    BIZCN SCAM accredited by ICANN JOKE

    ICANN seems to be a joke. My identity has been stolen by BIZCN domain registrar (or their customer(s)), who is accredited by ICANN. Someone at BIZCN has registered over 50 to 70 domain names (or more) using my name and my address, but they used their own email address and my old (not working) phone/fax number and everyone knows why they do it (so I don't get contacted too soon). If you take a look at for instance at the following domain and website: www.swissandluxury.com, it's not only registered in my name, but it is a live website selling watches and I am sure it is as fraudulent as hell. My numerous attempts to call , email and fax ICANN ended up in a wall of silence and complete ignorance by ICANN. More, ICANN's forms online to report bad registrars and fraudulent domain registrations does no work and sends me annoying and unbelievable form refusals for all domains I tried to report repeatedly many times wasting days and weeks of my time. My numerous attempts to reach BIZCN ended up in "Jimmy" from BIZCN responding (after numerous no-responses) and promising changes, yet he did very little and I noticed only a handful of domains at the Whois replaced my address with (I am sure) another stolen address/identity. BIZCN is a criminal fraud accredited by ICANN! Then who are ICANN if they accredit criminal domain registrars?

    Here's a by far incomplete list of domain names that bear or used to bear my name and my mailing address and my old outdated fax number that was sent to "Jimmy" at BIZCN as a request to remove my name, address and telephone from those domain records many months ago:

    Sorry, this post contains a blocked URL
    The content you're trying to share includes a link that's been blocked for being spammy or unsafe:

    Now wait! That's one of the domain names which's true owner (hidden behind my stolen identity)
    is a criminal at BIZCN or is a customer of the BIZCN registrar (accredited by ICANN).

    So, I CANN or I CANN'T?

    That really sucks and ICANN really should be doing more to help. Unfortunately, I don't know if there's an easy way out of your situation without taking the company to court for identity theft, but hopefully someone else here does.

    Good luck!

    You could try and reach out to ICANN on Twitter and or Facebook?

    Have you tried calling them using one of the numbers on their contact page?

    Sounds like a horrible situation! Normally ICANN accredited registrars would be able to resolve an issue like this fairly swiftly.

    Search around for a BIZCN Twitter / Facebook / Google+ presence and contact them there?

    I did all that and more. ICANN dropped the phone down on me. My post includes words, such as "silence and complete ignorance by ICANN".

    I called ICANN as well, they dropped the phone down on me when I complained about BIZCN. They told me its not their business and that I should contact BIZCN directly in China (95% of goods are "Made in China" is this a communist takeover of USA?) and why would I want to contact ICANN-accredited criminals in China and Russia in a remote foreign country? Can't I be represented by ICANN in my own country of residence (USA)? I have a business in USA, pay all kinds of taxes, but when I need help, police, courts etc. are unable to help? They never help. All they do is give runarounds. Also if you try their online forms such as (see below) they do NOTHING about it and one of those forms is failing all the time and ICANN did nothing to repair it. It may have been made intentionally to fail.

    http://wdprs.internic.net/
    http://reports.internic.net/cgi/regi...lem-report.cgi

    All these forms are complete waste of time. They do nothing and the ICANN form is cleverly made to send you refusals such as this one (please note that the domain DOES EXIST, this was sent to me 8 months ago, today the domain still there and uses my stolen identity and BIZCN are the crimninals accredited by ICANN who is a shady government organization with no dignity whatsoever):

    =============================================================

    Dear Sir/Madam:

    ICANN appreciates you taking the time to complete a Whois Data Problem Report regarding the domain bestdumps.biz. However, your complaint was rejected because the Whois inaccuracy claim was found invalid and the domain falls under one of the following categories:

    1. Client Hold: Domain is On Hold
    2. NOT FOUND: Domain is not existent
    3. Pending Delete, Domain Suspended or Deleted

    The Whois Data Problem Reporting System only forwards valid Whois inaccuracy complaints directly to the registrar for review.

    For further information on what is required of registrars upon notification of an inaccuracy in Whois data, you may wish to view the ICANN Advisory located online at http://www.icann.org/announcements/advisory-03apr03.htm.

    Kind regards,

    ICANN Services

    =======================================================

    Why would my claim to be found invalid?

    I submitted this form on many domains with my stolen identity on them, but all of them sent me the same abovementioned email with a header: "WDPRS REJECTION NOTICE TO REPORTER".

    I did everything correctly all accordingly to their instructions and their requirements multiple times, I check my spelling etc. all the time, I did that for days and weeks, I filled those forms, all (freaking) rejected by ICANN'T!?

    So cann I or ICANN'T?

    I just submitted the ICANN report for a newly registered domain that's not only using my name, address and old phone but also is a fraudulent website that's selling watches and has no address nor location on it (I tested it):

    Thank you for your help.

    Best regards,

    InterNIC Whois Data Problem Reports System

    ====================================================

    Usually hours after submit this kind of report ICANN emails me a REJECTION NOTICE. If I receive one I will post it here later.

    P.S. EDIT of the previous post (my edit time there expired):

    The above rejection notice received 8 MONTHS AGO (!) yet the fraudulent domain is still there, is not on hold, not deleted and it exists! None of the ICANN statements is true. Only a criminal or criminally neglect organization would do this.

    I just placed an "order" on www.swissandluxury.com (they do not provide any of their phone, street address, mailing address or even a telephone on that website, so I asked them for their address where to send a check or a money order. Here's what they replied revealing info on the potential owner of this SCAM, that uses my name and my address as the Whois record for their fraudulent business:

    Dear (my name),
    Thank you for your recent online purchase with Swiss&Luxury.com!

    The only payment method accepted for international orders is bank wire transfer. International check clearing can take from 4 - 6 weeks.
    Even though it's easy to issue a check, it may not be easy for the recipient to cash the check. That's why we don't accept the checks from international orders.

    I hope for your understanding!

    The following is the wire transfer information for payment of your invoice.

    Lloyds TSB Bank
    1 Legg St, Essex CM1 1JS, United Kingdom
    Company address: 6 Valiant Way, London E6 5XN, United Kingdom

    Account number: 22861068
    Sort code: 30-99-64

    IBAN: GB52LOYD30996422861068
    BIC: LOYDGB21169

    Account name: Robert Pyc

    Total amount in USD currency: 2,425.00

    Once the payment has been arranged, please send us a confirmation e-mail.

    You may fax or e-mail a bank transaction receipt so we may better identify receipt of the funds, our fax number is 800-930-6527.

    Looking forward to your reply!

    UPDATE: This rather ridiculous INTERNIC form (see the above link) has a text field that says "Organization (if any)". Note: IF ANY! Yet when I leave it blank it gives me error in red font:

    The following required fields are either blank, or invalid:
    Organization

    SUBMITTED:

    Thank you for your report. We're sorry that you have experienced trouble with your domain registration. We have sent your problem report to ICANN, which will forward it to your registrar. We hope you will be able to resolve the matter to your satisfaction.

    ICANN will review your problem report and use it in establishing long-term registrar policy.

    The steps I took can be seen upon searching on Google for BIZCN SCAM and you will see all the posts in multiple forums. Heres the story (as NeonRider):

    This is why the proposed new policies to "verify and validate" all the data that goes into WHOIS is "real" - criminals already know this and have worked around it but using 'valid' 3rd party details

    The registrars and ICANN should validate WHOIS data not by emailing, but by sending mail letter to the physical mailing addresses and verify the phone numbers as well and if phone numbers are disconnected (old) like they are using my old phone number, they should never display such info on Whois. They should call the phone number before listing it on Whois and verify whether such person is there and whether they own it and whether they are the owner of the domain, then they should send a mail letter to the address and only list it once its been verified. In this case if I can't reach BIZCN in China to sue them then ICANN will be held responsible for these thefts of my identity for letting BIZCN keep their license while letting fake data be displayed in the Whois system. Those who display this UNVERIFIED fake data will be held responsible for displaying it in public. Chinese registrar doesn't do much about it on purpose as they are criminals themselves, and ICANN dropped the phone down on me, so the next step will be sue ICANN for damages.
