We have had this happen to us on occasion and I have discussed this at length with OpenSRS. Their response is "it's your problem to figure out it was a fraud order and not process it". !!?? Clearly, not a satisfactory attitude on OpenSRS's part (or ICANN's part as well). OpenSRS claims they have no choice because they have to pay the $6 regardless. And we typiclly don't find out until a chargeback happens a few feeks later. However if you provide OpenSRS with enough documentation about the chargeback, they will consider locking the domain and removing it from the root nameservers. best regards Mike
