I'm really sorry to hear that, but...
Welcome to our world. The more domain names you own or manage, the more
SPAM you'll get. Especially if they're new registrations. Those are a special
target. I have several domain names that use unique information that is not
posted anywhere else but in the WHOIS - yet they get SPAM as quick as within a
week. That's why I set up http://www.hiddenregistration.com/ Folks don't
have to agree with the concept - or use it - but for those that need to be
hidden, it works.
It's nasty out here.
