[WHOIS-WG] who needs proxies?

[Derek Smythe]

While digging into a phishing website hosted on an equally fake HyIp
website, I uncovered a nest of fake Forex/HyIP websites.

However these caught my attention based upon their whois details,
violating the registrant agreement:

fastlibertyreserve.com
star-pays.com
fxcmoney.com
makecurrencyonline.com
safetyinvestment.net
unitedcashbank.com
redtieforex.com
(follow up on the DNS servers - neverddos.net, anonymous domain
registrations - from company in themselves with a private registration)
shortterminvestment.biz - email domain teleworm expired/non-existent.
investinghyip.com
libertyreserve-income.com
libertyreserveforex.net
libertyreserveinvestmenthyip.com
giant-investment.com
investorsbankowned.com
worldtrustbank.net (their Mr Bejnamin Forster looks exactly like
someone else:
http://www.chicagofinancialtimes.com/cdxc/index.html )
hyipfunding.com
etc etc

Not pretty at all!

A domain that used the same fake certificates etc was payingclub.com.
Losses to it mentioned are deep in the thousands of dollars. Not bad
for a $10 domain investment. Consider that very few of these are
reported by victims, nobody knows what the real losses are or where
the proceeds go to.

Most recently there has been a huge uproar about HSBC and deficient
AML controls and how it benefits the terrorism and drug trade:

Who needs worry about AML controls at American banks and the effect of
those, while an American registrar gladly accepts the above type of
registrations with clearly deficient registration details?
