Spam

Irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the Internet, typically to large numbers of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc.

We have taken measures to prevent the abuse of our registration engine, web hosting, and DNS services at a transactions point of origin in an effort to contribute our part to the elimination of spam. If you receive a message appearing to be from a domain registered through our company please take a moment to report the issue so we can investigate. When reporting spam, we would require a copy of the spam message including the message header.

Pharming

Pharming refers to redirection of unknowing users to fraudulent sites or services, typically through DNS hijacking or poisoning. In other words, pharming is intended to redirect a website's traffic to another fraudulent sites. It can either be accomplished by changing the hosts file on victim's computer or by exploitation of a vulnerability in DNS server software.

Use of Botnets

A botnet is a collection of Internet-connected programs communicating with other similar programs in order to perform tasks. Botnets can be used to send spam email or participate in distributed denial-of-service attacks as well as other malicious activities.

Rebel takes Intellectual Property rights seriously. If there is a domain with which you have concerns there are several options available. The first option would be to contact the registrant for the domain and attempt to resolve any conflict directly.
