Facebook is very heavy handed when it comes to these things. I’m talking from my own experience with them. I own a free dynamic dns service, and yes scammer sometimes use it to plant familiar sounding subdomains to cheat users. One such subdomain was related to Facebook. So Facebook didn’t even contact me about it. Instead, they banned my whole domain on FB. If now I try to give people my email address with my domain on Messenger or any FB post, it will get blocked with the message that my domain has malicious content.
That’s what you get when dealing with big companies. I guess they cannot just block namecheap like this, since they are much bigger than my small hobby dynamic dns server. So they are suing in this case. But I’m sure there are plenty of cases like mine where they just block the whole domain or IP range without even contacting the owner. Because they can, and we cannot do anything about it.
