How do marketers and spammers get my personal information after I register a domain name?
Posted May 25th, 2007 by AnonymousIt never fails: somebody registers their first domain name and within 24 hours they're getting unsolicited email in their inbox and eventually more marketing material via postal mail.
What happened?
Most people's initial reaction is to blame their domain registrar, assuming their personal info has been sold. This is extremely rare. Most domain registrars really hate spam and unsolicited email.
