    Reporting fake WHOIS info ?

    What happens when I report fake whois info to ICANN ?
    Do they care?
    It doesn't seem so...

    what is your experience?
    Did they actually get back to you?
    I don't use ICQ anymore.

                  Why do you care?

                  It's only fake because of snail mail spam and psycho phone calls they generateed.

                      who cares? don't be a rat...

                      Unless the site is doing something illegal or spamming you, it's really none of your business.

                              They had a report on what happens, at:

                              http://www.icann.org/whois/wdprs-rep...al-31mar04.htm

                              You can make a report at:

                              http://wdprs.internic.net/

                              I've never made one, though.

                                  If you include your email address it is sent to the domain holder.
                                  Good way to get their attention and get a response.

                                      90% of the whois info is fake anyways? so is 75% of the posters on here are only staff/moderators/employees not (real) hard working webmasters like myself!

                                      witch the employees/workers/ talk 'shit' most of the time!

                                          I know one thing I had reported someone who hijacked some domains names of mine and linked himself to NASA, they didnt do shit about it. Unless you pay the $1500 that I didnt do, At $1500 a domain name, times by the 17 names I lost = $25,500. Fuck it theyre gone now. But this is in regards to hijacking, and then the false WhoIS info.

                                                      I've reported numerous domains but have yet to see any action taken. Supposedly ICANN reports the information to the registrar and its the registrars responsibility to make sure the domain owner supplies correct information but there are no sanctions from ICANN if they don.t Its a hollow effort in terms of enforcement. I have heard of someone getting shut down because they had fake information in their registration but none that I have reported have had anything done to them.
                                                      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                                          I guess it'll take a lifetime before you get some action done thru that one!
