Hi Jacqueline and all Jacqueline, thank you posting this brilliant document. Indeed many of the observations in this document highlights some serious issues. I am sure the publishers would not mind me saying this; many of these identical issues are not only found in phishing scams, but also in advance fee fraud/419 scams, escrow scams, job/money mule scams and non-existent goods scams and other criminal enterprise. Many of the above scams at different levels of sophistication, but sooner or later we note the same trends for most of them, the general targets being unsuspecting other internet users and service providers. This document is a definite MUST read for anyone involved in domain names or hosting in any form, more so their staff and/or agents dealing with fraud issues. Brilliant!
