    I went to www.whois.sc, and checked one of my domains. When the whois record shows up, there's a part on there that says "Registrant Search: XXXX XXXXXXX (XXXXX@XXXXXXXX.XXX) owns at least 2 other domains". My name and email is there. When i click on the "2 other domains", it says you can buy the report for $57, and see what other domains i own. Are there any other sites that do this? :mad:

    Yes, theres also sites that show you past domain history of users, dates at which they bought and sold etc. It sucks but its been going on for a while, and thankfully not that many buyers look you up.

    I think you're talking about the http://www.registrantsearch.com/ ads that appear on whois.sc site, If you are more concern about privacy better protect your domain info by making it private.
