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?

unless its a large ammount of complaints it wont matter

escsweb · 04-27-2004, 07:23 AM

it really depends on the registar

blackmonsters · 04-27-2004, 07:24 AM

Why do you care?

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

stev0 · 04-27-2004, 07:25 AM

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

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

DR_PHIL · 04-27-2004, 07:28 AM

yeah theres so many cases out there they prolly couldnt care less

GeorgeK · 04-27-2004, 08:31 AM

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.

reynold · 04-27-2004, 06:27 PM

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

PornoMan · 04-27-2004, 06:50 PM

but still i have the right to be able to contact any domain name owner

juicybucks · 04-28-2004, 03:10 AM

take it from me, they do take notice !
It takes a couple of weeks, but they contact the registrar, and then they are made prove their details are correct, or thier url is canned until they prove the whois details.

matty · 04-28-2004, 03:11 AM

yeah, that's true, I don't think ICANN gives a shit, but they're obliged to contact the registrar, and the registrar is obliged to follow it through
