Ilegal alteration of web registration details ?

ChrisMusic

I believe that it is a legal requirement of ICANN registration to provide full and accurate details.

Any subsequent deletion or change to mask registration requirements I believe is in clear breach of their rules.

If I remember my research correctly, that could lead to them losing their web address, which would obviously be a catastrophe for anyone who relies on a web presence for their business.

I find it hard to think that anyone would be stupid enough to openly flout the ICANN registration rules, but if they did and someone who understands these things were to make ICANN aware, I wonder what the consequences would be ?

ChrisMusic

Let me see if I can find a for instance, for educational purposes, you understand.

ChrisMusic

I think anyone doing this would raise suspicions about their motives, what do you think ?

ChrisMusic

Sorry for the boring post, but I happened to find a for instance in two web pages I have open where this exact thing has happened.  I will post them here to let you draw your own conclusions.

The information was gathered from publicly available information within the space of a few minutes.

I will have to split it across a couple of posts as it contains too many characters for one.

That's rather suspicious. I too noticed that up until recently the whois details were as follows:

I do wish I'd tried harder in class.

Some of us need to get out more.

I think what the posters are saying is:
Our scammer friend has changed his website details illegally.

TTony

He did change the details, although it's not too hard to find an archived version of the original details.

However, I don't believe that it's illegal to do so.  Many domain registrars allow you to withhold your personal details from the WHOIS db, for privacy reasons.  

That's where my knowledge ends and this is where interpretation takes over ... I *believe* that withholding of the data is permitted for individuals and non-trading organisations, but is not permitted for commercial / trading businesses.

There's been a multiple identify scammer selling stuff here, and he's caught quite a few people out, who've all paid by PPG....so the forum sleuths have tracked him down using his data trail on the internet....which he's now trying to remove as he knows he's a naughty boy and he's upset a lot of people.
