The point being though, that by creating forged letter head paper and
signing it, a person would be committing fraud, and could be prosecuted.

It's secure enough for NetSol! *sigh* Scary, huh? NetSol really likes the
Word "Letterhead" templates, just put some clipart where the logo is, and if
there isn't an active website, they just approve it. If there is an active
website, just steal the logo from there, and it works just as well.
The only saving grace is that they are so slow to process faxes that the
actual customer has probably moved the domain away anyway, before the fruad
attempt completes ;)
When it's all said and done, there really isn't any way (Other then
contacting the client at information that is listed in the WHOIS) to verify
that the owner agrees to transferring/password-release/etc a given domain.
On the other hand, IMO, a phone call to the listed admin contact should be
secure enough, in cases where the email is bad... But that should only be
used when the email address is A) bouncing, or B) Responding with someone
that has no clue.
That would be, IMO, more secure then a fax, since a fax can be forged, but I
can't magically grab a phone number I don't own.
