Anyone else getting phone-spammed by ValueWeb from information in WHOIS records?

Irritating, to say the least.

Not yet, I used to get lots of snail mail from them. I'd cross my name/address out, write RTS and have an arrow pointing to their return address.

I have received in the past week, 117 cards from them. They just pull from whois records and go wild.

You would think they would at least cull their address records... it's amazing how many dupes they send to the same address.

I got called by them last week too. I think it's quite a misuse of whois information, myself.
