Respond to an identity verification request?

Question

Domain name market

On one gray site, such a letter arrived from the regru from the address [email protected]
We ask you to provide documents within 15 days to confirm the information about the Domain Administrator:
* For individuals, a copy of the passport: a spread with a photo and a spread with the registration address.
I had a similar experience, when I confirmed my identity in this way on another site, the next day they sent me a complaint from Rospotrebnadzor. And in general, after scrolling through the forums, I realized that this letter does not bode well - most likely some kind of complaint was filed against the site.
What's the question. The site is registered to me. Is it worth it to answer and confirm your data? The site, as I wrote above, is grayish and you can find fault with it, so I'm afraid of serious statements / complaints / and other things. Two options.
1. Reply to the letter, confirm the data. Wait for a letter of happiness and already in fact deal with the problem.
2. Do not answer, buy another domain, lose all traffic. Will this option protect me at all from the application? Or does it make sense not to answer and ignore it anymore?
The idea is that until I have confirmed my data, it is considered that it has not been proven that the site belongs to me, and if I answer, I will somehow sign that everything is mine, I bear full responsibility. Is it so?

Answer 1

this letter does not bode well - most likely some kind of complaint was filed against the site.

reg.ru employees are obviously not paid for correspondence / processing of scans)) so they pressed it, and yes - the feeling is right
register in internet.bs not ru domain and 302 there, just a couple of weeks is enough

Answer 2

If the domain is .RU/.РФ, then you have 7 calendar days. If you do not answer, or the data does not match, the domain will be removed from delegation and may be deleted (but may be left, it will be deleted after the registration is completed).
In any case, the administrator's data will be transferred to the complainant (Rospotrebnadzor), they will simply not be confirmed (not verified by a passport scan). If this body turns to you, you can safely say - "the cow is not mine." If there is rubbish, then the authorities will find a connection with your account for payments and ip, so the trick about the cow will not work.
Responsibility to the registrar - no. Before the law - depending on the blackness of the content on the site.
Well, the registrar can block all your domains (.RU and .РФ).

Answer 3

In short: It's up to you.
More fully: if the result of your work is less important than the possible responsibility - it's better not to answer and create a "mirror" in the bulletproof zone. Notify all your users that you have created a "mirror" and upon login, after showing the notification, redirect to the new "mirror" domain.

Answer 4

this letter does not bode well - most likely some kind of complaint was filed against the site.

Of course. Someone complained about the site, the registrar checked the data, found that there was crap and, in accordance with the rules of the domain zone, sent a notification (for .ru .su .rf - confirmation is required, all sane domainers warn about this), looked through whom the domain was registered, notified the domainer, he notified you.
It all depends on the level of blackness on the site - if it is not very scary, then you can send the data. If there is something there for which you can really get angry - mirror the site somewhere and write off all .ru .su .rf domains in the combat losses section :)

Answer 5

One of the rules of safe IT business in Russia says that you need to register domains abroad. A great option to leave and not show your data. Well, a lesson for the future.

Answer 6

Lol, well, do not answer - they will take away the domain and goodbye.
This scheme is debugged, so, as they say, it's too late to rush about, they will achieve their goal anyway. Messed up with the law - answer.
This is the answer.

Answer 7

They ran into themselves, they are to blame. Continue your "bad deeds" in other zones, not Russian ones, with foreign registrars. Rather, move abroad, change your passport and identity. Hide in the bunker just in case, stock up... okay, just don't do it.
