Of course, scammers will register variations of .internal

Like .lnternal

Or .ιnternal

Then why does .americanexpress exist?

Sounds like someone simply pulled their wallet.

Or maybe you forgot "/s"

It's a bit of both - you do have to pull out your wallet, but there's also an approval process. Just because you can buy a gTLD, doesn't mean you can buy .con

Getting ICANN to sell off .con would be the best con ever.
