Jon - You can forward such solicitations to complia...@arin.net<mailto:complia...@arin.net> - we’ll send them an appropriate nasty letter. Definitely send any solicitation of unique contact data on Whois records to us - we do pursue misuse aggressively.
(With regard to this particular spam, I’d note there is an entire ecosystem of these “lead/demand” companies, and they aren’t generally selling the ARIN Whois data but instead contact data that’s been extracted from conference registration/attendee lists. In this case I’d imagine you got targeted for receipt because your email has posted to the nanog mailing list recently.)

I get them at least once a week from various companies I've never heard of, I'm sure they pop up under different names constantly for obvious reasons. Crap like this I imagine is why a few of my POC emails listed on my ARIN assets get constant spam, I can't imagine how many places there are like this scraping then selling ARIN data to marketing outlets. name and email in the below *not* scrubbed for anonymity because they need to cut this shit out -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) Leads 2022 2 Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022 12:16:02 +0000 From: Julie Levay <julie.le...@hoversamerica.com><mailto:julie.le...@hoversamerica.com> To: j...@fohdeesha.com<mailto:j...@fohdeesha.com> <j...@fohdeesha.com><mailto:j...@fohdeesha.com> Hi, Good Day!
