I’m battling an identical battle at the moment. So far, the registrar for the domain has not replied to my email and 
voicemail contacts with their abuse department. I’m curious to hear the other advice you receive.

Subject: [SECURITY] Fraudulent Domain

Hello Everyone,

We have had a fraudulent domain pop up impersonating the University sending out fake Purchase Orders to suppliers.  
This website domain does not have an active website but we still reported the domain to reputation reference websites 
such as VirusTotal, ESET, Google Safe Browsing etc.  We plan to contact the registrar of the website and having our 
legal team request a DMCA takedown notice.

What other steps can we take to expedite having this fraudulent domain taken down?

Thanks

Josh
