        I had a bit same kind of encounter. A spam was sent through
        a company I used to work for before. I was still mentioned
        as Technical Contact in ripe data so whois gave my name,
        address and phone number. This whois data was posted by some
        antispam activist to one antispam USENET newsgroup suggesting that
        people should not email the company but to call these
        phonenumbers.

        Personally I dont find this any better than spamming itself.
