Domain spammer claims ICANN gives out investor licenses

An ongoing spam campaign is using the domain name HannahBenson.com, alongside the alias “Hannah Benson.”

The spammer targets domain registrants with “similar domains” to the ones being peddled.

So far, nothing new about using a faux female name to sell domains, but what sets this spam aside is the included claim that they are an “ICANN registered Domain Investor.”

Obviously, ICANN does not give away licenses or any other types of endorsements and the spammer’s “License No. 722525521” is 100% bogus.

In other words, this is not just a spam, it’s also a scam. The claim that ICANN assigns registration numbers to domain investors is fraudulent.

Currently, the domain HannahBenson.com forwards to Dan.com. The domain is registered at Epik.
