I made the mistake of registering a .us domain and using my regular phone number, after six months I've started receiving the infamous robo IRS calls. The robot call is listed as being from 1-866-978-6618 and in the voicemail requests that I call back that same number. Online this number is listed as being used for the IRS scam in June 2017. How does a scammer set up an 800 phone number without having it traced back to them? Why is this number still operational after a week of scam calls?
I've resorted to only using a google voice number for my domains. It's insane how much spam you get from being forced to provide contact info to the public.
I have a VoIP line that goes no where (no voicemail, just drops the call) for things like this. Absolutely no legitimate communication will be made to my whois contact, so why bother routing it anywhere?
