Meanwhile, as someone who tries to help victims of e-crime, I find the 
proxy-WHOIS is very often used to obscure the fraudster's details. I'm 
aware that they might just be hiding false details, but shouldn't 
registrars be doing more checks on such things? For example, where a 
domain is paid for by a Credit Card, making available as default the 
address details used to verify that payment.
