It doesn’t sound like he can prove any of that info.

If you use a fake name, it’s fraud. There’s no gray area there, nor is it a rule that’s unique to Dreamhost. The email he posted explains it pretty clearly.

And it has nothing to do with this post, so learn how to read when you’re done learning how not to commit fraud.

This account was closed for suspected fraud. We will not be able to
release the domain registration.

“Suspected fraud” means we suspect your account was signed up using a
stolen credit card.

No. We will need to see your US ID in the name of “Jerry Smith” with
the
address you gave us when signing up. If this information is false, you
committed fraud, which simply supports the reason your account was
disabled in the first place.

Hello, but you said it’s about my credit card, right? So now I can prove that I am the card holder, then what’s the matter, what fraut is this? And what’s this related to getting my domain name back?? I use my english name register several domanain never have problem, I am not US resident, I dont have a US ID card, you never ask I have to use my name on the ID card to singe up, but all my Credit card info is correct, including holder’s name, and billing address, and I don’t think this will be the excuse that you steal my domain name from me, it’s not logical. I pay you guys to register the domain name but not pay you to check all my privacy, the credit card payment via google checkout has no problem, I did not do any fraut, you refund my money by yourself and now I lose my ownership of my domain name, what a hell is this?? Do you get an phone cal that I can talk to some supervisor please, I want resolve this problem as soon as possible, thank you.

Then NEVER REPLIED……….I just feel my domainame will never come back, is it fair????
