last few days, I've gotten 2 calls from aplus.net making sales pitch about their design services & the hosting services... They buy a list from yahoo domains. I just confirmed this with them. I know this is also fact as only one single domain I ever registered has my real phone number & it was the one registered with yahoo domains. Conversation with them didnt last too long when I told them i do porn.

Yahoo does not run the domain registrar, they are merely a broker to a 3rd party... so your info was probably sold by the 3rd party..
