# .ai registry starts fining registrars $280 over abuse

September 26, 2023 · Summary of an article by Andrew Allemann, Domain Name Wire

If a registrar does not resolve a fraud complaint within a week, the .ai registry suspends the domain and charges the registrar $280, plus another $280 if the customer keeps contacting the registry.

The author warned that this gives registrars a reason not to defend legitimate customers, and urged businesses to understand country-code rules.
