[Coco] bogus WhoIs complaint

[Roger Taylor]

Actually, the culprit just e-mailed me back.  He managed to reach me 
just fine several days ago using the WhoIs e-mail address, but wasn't 
happy enough because my cel phone number has changed.  In other 
words, he was policing me, watching me being victimized by a malware 
bot, then thought he'd take $9.95 from me and send it to godaddy.

spgSCOTT was the one who supposedly rallied Steven, so I'm putting 
them in the same boat.

Now I wonder how a person with a private phone number is supposed to 
make it on the web.  Isn't there some kind of legal issue here?  Is 
it possible to make my WhoIs record private or some parts of 
it?  This must be a telemarketer's dream, to be able to probe any 
site on the web, and grab the phone number of the admin and then sell 
it to all the other spammers.
