Whois Spam

Loading ...I had no idea that this form of spam existed.
I ran “whois amazon.com”, and got this:
Whois Server Version 2.0
Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information.

To single out one record, look it up with “xxx”, where xxx is one of the of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up with “=xxx” to receive a full display for each record.
Who knew!? Gulli.com is, not surprisingly, a site about hacking. Also, not surprisingly, doing the same for Google results in:

Well, I’m off to register my “google.com.wishes.it.was.as.incredibly.awesome.as.www.erik-rasmussen.com” subdomain…

This is not spam (well, maybe a little), but captcha.
Whois records are known to be an easy way to harvest valid emails.
How is this captcha? Captcha is used to provide a test that humans can easily pass but computer programs cannot. Sorry, but I don’t see how that word applies here.
Im getting pinged by the same guy as well, trying to find a way into my site?

I know who they are. And I have no business or anything. And still get several attempts from them, all the time. They say their Google Inc., Out of Mountain View Cali.
And you’ll get alot of ones like audiotracker.com and the ones mentioned above. Just stupid junk.
