What this means is that the registered name holder, as per ICANN definitions,  is PrivacyGuardian.org. The party using it is an unknown entity called the licensee.

This domain has a history of abuse. While being transferred to Namesilo only this year and in under the proxy protection, this domain has a history  of fake registration details linked to a well known Cameroonian drug scammer. We have recorded these details here:

https://db.aa419.org/fakebanksview.php?key=104810

Since this is a scam in as far as the claimed substances sold does not exist, also commonly targeting cancer sufferers, this website and malicious domain has been reported many times before.

We also see it changing hosts after the hosting providers investigated and terminated the hosting (in what is known as host-hopping).

Most recently this domain has been reported to  Namesilo. Further and importantly, it has been reported to PrivacyGuardian as well. This was not only done by Artists Against 419, but also by two unrelated entities as to ensure PrivacyGuardian was alerted.

As such ICANN RAA 3.7.7.3 applies:

3.7.7.3 Any Registered Name Holder that intends to license use of a domain name to a third party is nonetheless the Registered Name Holder of record and is responsible for providing its own full contact information and for providing and updating accurate technical and administrative contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the Registered Name. A Registered Name Holder licensing use of a Registered Name according to this provision shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the Registered Name, unless it discloses the current contact information provided by the licensee and the identity of the licensee within seven (7) days to a party providing the Registered Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm.

Namesilo and members of the community has been made aware of the nature of this domain, along with pertinent issues.

If you are scammed with this domain after 17 May 2017, you may have a claim against Namesilo’s proxy service  as the Registered Name Holder. Artists Against 419 will provide your attorney with all the relevant information passed on to Namesilo as mentioned above, free of charge.

High Risk of Extortion

The drug scam is also used in extortion attempts due to the victim attempting to buy illegal drugs or attempting to buy more than an allowed quantity of and item such as cannabis. The marketing done by scammers deliberately tru and create an entrapment situation. The scammer will then use this as an opportunity to extract more money from the victim or use this as an opportunity to get the victim to fulfill certain tasks for him (money mule, reshipping).

The domain fastweedonline.com should be considered high risk for such an attempt. Another domain controlled by this party is currently being abused for exactly such purposes. If you encounter such issues, do not yield to the scammer’s demand, rather report it to your local law enforcement agency immediately or seek advice from an attorney. Artists Against 419 will assist them with background information already known.
