Re: People trying to sell "ARIN Leads"

[John Curran <jcurran () arin net>]

Jon -

You can forward such solicitations to compliance () arin net<mailto:compliance () arin net> - we’ll send them an 
appropriate nasty letter.  Definitely send any solicitation of unique contact data on Whois records to us - we do 
pursue misuse aggressively.

(With regard to this particular spam, I’d note there is an entire ecosystem of these “lead/demand” companies, and they 
aren’t generally selling the ARIN Whois data but instead contact data that’s been extracted from conference 
registration/attendee lists.  In this case I’d imagine you got targeted for receipt because your email has posted to 
the nanog mailing list recently.)

Thanks!

Does anyone else get email offers like the below? I get them at least once a week from various companies I've never 
heard of, I'm sure they pop up under different names constantly for obvious reasons. Crap like this I imagine is why a 
few of my POC emails listed on my ARIN assets get constant spam, I can't imagine how many places there are like this 
scraping then selling ARIN data to marketing outlets. name and email in the below *not* scrubbed for anonymity because 
they need to cut this shit out
