The China Internet Network Information Center has published the names of two Internet domain name registrars who have been

accused of illegal activities.

Shanghai longyu Network Technology Company and Shanghai squil Network Technology Co., Ltd have allegedly sent intimidating

emails to terrify Internet users to try to have them change their domain registrars. CNNIC says it will verify the complaint

reports and transfer them to the relevant criminal authorities.

This is the first time that CNNIC has published a blacklist of registrar companies since July 24 when the Internet Address

Registration Service Industry Self-discipline Convention was signed by more than 40 domestic domain name registrars.

Publishing the name list and giving it to the public is good for users to recognize quality domain name service providers and

this also sends a warning to companies that have been providing unregulated and illegal services.

Great!!!

Really glad to hear they are taking some action - the less scams, then the better domain investing can be!!!

Well if you really want to make a statement, just sentence the presidents of the two companies to death. This doesn't even qualify as a slap on the wrist.
