I came across this the other days, where someone I know has registered a domain name to get back at me. I used to own the domain but let it lapse and he has registered in pure spite. In the whois records under the registrants information, he has put a false name in the registrants name. Instead of his real name, he has put "Mr Big", when thats not his real name. Is that permissable? ( I am not really talking about civil law in this case but rather is it permissable in the eyes of the registrar) Can I complain to his registrar about that? What will the registrar do?
Why not contact the registrar and say the domain is yours. Without a proper name they can't prove that its not.
I originally owned it and let it lapse, then he registered it, put mr big as the registrants name, then locked the domain. Sureley the registrar can warn him about putting a false name? Where would I find info on that?
Well unless that site had done harm to u in anyway i doubt the registrar would bother reading ur email.
If you are interested in filing a whois data problem go to: http://wdprs.internic.net/ They will contact the registrar, and give the registrar time to investigate and fix it. Some registrars will charge a fee to people who have invalid information when they have such an inquiry and they will require that the information be fixed or else they will take the domain back.
