Earlier, I was informed by the DirectNIC admins that they had rethought
their solution. For now, the domains have been put on registrar hold/lock
and will not resolve to anything. This stops the problem of the scamming
without causing any residual issues.

Of course, law enforcement needs to step in and take care of the idiots
themselves so they do not continue to try to steal people's money.
