Hello,
I been told my several people that someone is spamming my whois information out to others. I changed the whois to the registar company so they can spam it lol. Does anyone have any suggestions?. This is totally stupidity. How could someone do this?. They're making up crap in the e-mails and sending them out to people. I'm going to get the email address and report it to the mail service. Does anyone have a suggestion of what else I can do?.

Registerclub.com is great we use them for all of our registering needs. They are resellers of bulkregister.com and I have never had a spam problem with them.

They have either access to root registery files or scan whois information of domain registrars.

I have seen the same problems with most of registrars that I use.

They run a whois check on the domain . Then they know the information to spam it out. I guess.

Unfortunately there isn't much one can do about this. Technically I guess you could enter a fake email address, but that isn't something which I could recommend.
