I am fairly certain I have used a VPN to connect to namecheap.com and I have never had this issue. This sounds as if you got scammed by another actor or made this up.

validation.com was the site (still anonymously registered domain) they were sending me to, and they confirmed from a support ticket that the email request was sent by them, you can see on the site an example of the credit card cam show they require.

The support ticket took 5 days and they shut down my account later that day, actually while i was trying to get a buggy old webcam to work.

They actually mention validation.com now; https://www.namecheap.com/id-validation/ though i couldn't find any reference to it at the time.
