My normal test for this is to register a new domain name and leave my whois info public.
Over the span of 1-2 weeks I will usually get 50-100 calls from people with a certain accent asking for a mispronunciation of my name and if I need a website developed. Then I forward them over to my spam recording line. I registered a handful of new domains this week, and I've had less than 5 calls so far. -A On Thu, Oct 21, 2021 at 12:13 PM Michael Thomas <m...@mtcc.com> wrote: > > On 10/21/21 10:57 AM, Sean Donelan wrote: > > > > The multi-million dollar fines announced with great fanfaire by the > > Federal Communication Commission are almost never collected.
