You're not their customer. You're actually trying to harm some of their customers, so it's difficult to imagine why they'd do anything to help you, absent some sort of legal obligation.

I guess ethics and good faith do not matter then. If your business is selling mostly to scammers then what does that make you?

I'm saying that namecheap is unethical. You are right, I'm not their customer and never will be. If it was easy to spam block every single domain ever sold by namecheap then I would do that.

Not even Facebook claims that Namecheap sells "mostly to scammers".

There isn't even a question over which of these two firms helps scammers more or harms society more. Facebook wins all of those contests. They're, like, Vladimir Putin's favorite! If any online service should have to follow the law and actually litigate each instance of such allegations of "cyber-squatting" in court, it is certainly Facebook.
