David - 

Please report these events to: <https://www.arin.net/resources/fraud/index.html>:

"This reporting process is to be used to notify ARIN of suspected Internet number resource abuse including the 
submission of falsified utilization or organization information, unauthorized changes to data in ARIN's WHOIS, 
hijacking of number resources in ARIN's database, or fraudulent transfers."

We do investigate, and if we can determine falsified information was used 
to effect a transfer, we will revert the transfer and/or initiate resource 
review as appropriate.
