It would be a real shame if abuse@dtnt.com (the domain registrar of brandshield.com) were to get a bunch of reports about scams and illegal activity found on the website. Bonus points for copying legal@dtnt.com.

Make sure to link their actual site to since those all exist as redirect pages:

https://www.domainthenet.com/en/

This registrar is such hot garbage that it stinks of just one individual or group controlling the whole thing from the registrar level to the few domains they provide. Their contact form page won't even load for me.

continues to poke around

Oh what do you know, the registrar and "BrandShield" are run by the same guy

Sounds like the reports should go directly to ICANN for ignoring reports about domains on their registration list

Edit:

I would be remiss if I didn't include the other founders

Who, again, all founded "Brandshield" at the same time they bought the rights from ICANN to make their own registrar, which appears to purely operate as a byproduct of "Brandshield"

Imagine if enough people will write to ICANN and ICANN will ban them. That would certanly be something I did not expect in 2024.

Opening the first link on my phone redirected me to a mobile site in an rtl language (hebrew?) 🤣

I think the best part about it is that it even has a /en in the original url.
