@__fn_reality#189502 Would be cool but I doubt it. That won’t work with them as they are a legitimately registered company in the US and not a 100% downright scam as the Indian tech support scammers. Usually, domain registrars and hosting providers only take actions in obvious cases, such as impersonation, child porn, terrorism etc. In this case it’s more complicated. Choice Home Warranty does robocalls and keep harassing people which is illegal but nothing wrong with their website as far as I know, They are also poorly rated and basically don’t cover anything in their warranty which is sketchy and can be a sign of scam.
I was in correspondence with CHW in August of 2019 and September of 2020 because of ongoing spam emails. It does appear to have worked (at least until today’s new “Home Warranty” spam email came which does not mention their name but is the same spam format (uses links to a recent domain created with Namecheap) and has a link to an image stored at Imgur.com (image file deleted minutes after I received the spam) and has a postal mail address for unsubscribing but without a business name (a box at a UPS store in Florida)
The email mentioned “Elite Home Warranty” but I cannot find that company and I’m not bothering with the redirect dance from the spammer link. Instead I console myself with 1) Deleting the spam image content so any unopened emails will have the broken image, 2) reported the spam site to the host, 3) reported the new domain to Namecheap (unlikely to have any effect as they continue to sell to the same criminal.
Wanted to back this up regarding domain registrars and reporting abuse of terms. It applies to the content on the site, not the behavior off of it.
to _fn_reality specifically…
In this instance it’s a matter of logging evidence and submission to the FTC if you were to report it to any 3rd party. Now what you can do in a manner of self-litigation, there’s a bit more.
