.us tld does not allow the use of anonymous whois services. Still, it's possible that their registrar enabled the anonymous option automatically for them on the other tlds.

A registrant with a @mailgun.com would help, _assuming_ the registrar verified the email provided by their client. It would be much better if they pointed to nameservers like ns1.mailgun.com, which would provide a much clear link.
