Sponsors with fake who-is
 

What do you make of sponsors with fake whois info?

The more the days go by, the less trust I have in this biz...fuck.

any examples ?

Id rather not.

When you have some time you should check it out yourself. As should eveyone else reading this.

Hey man, there are literally hundreds of sponsors.

yeah
post some samples
i cannot think of any reason why a sponsor should put up fake whois

Process with ccbilleu which says they're in GI - Gibraltar? This is most likely an offshore company so that ccbill can legally process them.

WHOIS has a Domains by Proxy address.

I sent them a quick email outlining my concerns about their masked information, asking if ccbill was able to pay me directly... no reply.

No samples, sorry. I dont be sued for slander, after all maybe "La La Land Road" does exist....LOL :1orglaugh

Fake phone number, or fake everything?

I've seen a couple sponsors use 555-555-5555 as their phone.

Even if it's fake everything in the WhoIs, it's possible they are running the program out of their basement and don't want their home address on there. They may also live in a conserved community and don't want authorities there finding they distribute obscenity.

I personally would be much more concerned over a sponsor who doesn't provide AIM/ICQ info or doesn't answer emails than someone with an inaccurate WhoIs.

what?
you are afraid being sued for slander for posting this?

HERE?
