DirectI treat abuse like godaddy?

[MrDude]

I came accross a thread about downloadfestival2009.com on another website, they are claiming to be selling download festival tickets, stealing £135 for every ticket somebody orders, although im sure since they arent legit they will be taking much more. They have been featured on watchdog, and many other scam websites but people are still falling for it. The real site is downloadfestival.co.uk which sells the tickets through ticketmaster.

I have so far only contacted the directi reseller to see if they are willing to do anything but as of yet I have had no response, what im wondering is, do any of you know if DirectI treat phishing like godaddy? I know godaddy take the domains offline when they are reported.

This isnt anything thats effecting my business but I go this festival every year, the people there are great, and it really pisses me off that many people are being robbed. This year the tickets have sold out so people are becoming desperate and resorting to 3rd party sites.

Sounds like the same guys that were "selling" tickets to the Beijing Olympics using BeijingOlympics2008.com and 2008olympics.com

The domain was suspended by the registrar, but then I found out the guy has 2 more domains, this time at dotser:

readingfestival2009.com
leedsfestival2009.com

I have contacted them and I hope they take phishing serious

I hope he gets sued big time - did you at least report him to the festival officials?

Dotster have been unhelpful so far. I have contacted them again today.

I have begun work on a website which will take submissions of suspected phishing sites, I will then list the registrar and webhost on the site, and have myself and moderators send out reports to these companies and the responses posted about each registrar. With my seo skills I will have each of these pages ranked high up in the search engines which will make people think twice about using registrars with no morals and possibly cause them to change their minds.

If anyone is willing to help at all in this project please send me a PM.
