There’s another possibility which seems entirely likely to me.
Of 146 fraud reports, 2% cover legitimate fraud. Most fraud likely goes
unreported.
As noted by ARIN staff earlier in this conversation, the vast majority of fraud
reports they receive are out of scope…
General ISP complaints
SPAM complaints
etc.
This is not surprising as probably about 1% of all internet users even know
what an RIR is, let alone how to distinguish between RIR Fraud and other issues.

On this we agree… The form letter I suggested should contain a link to this
FAQ, as should the fraud report filing page.
