That transfer request most likely was the result of Domain Registry of Canada/America postal mail renewal notices... DRoC/A is a reseller of eNom. > Now I was told this is an ICANN policy. ICANN policy states that the *gaining* registrar is responsible for verifying the authenticity of a registrar transfer. I would suggest comlaining to ICANN. You can submit a registrar complaint at www.internic.net. Maybe if they get enough complaints they will actually do something about it (unfortunately they would have to receive a lot of complaints before they will react to anything). > Can someone give me some background and how do other reseller's > protect their clients from fraud?
