I tried looking around a little and it sounds really scammy to me. All the contact info and domain registrars is listed “redacted for privacy.” Personally the whole thing seems to smell funny to me but I could be wrong. Anyone used or heard of this site before? I just want to make sure my daughter isn’t going to get screwed over

    I have no idea about the site itself, but having the domain registration showing as private isn’t necessarily a red flag in itself. I do it myself to avoid spam, and it’s a free service offered by many registrars.

    As someone else commented, however, if it feels fishy you’re probably correct.

      Yeah, I still get spam/scam from back in the day when your phone number, address, and email were all public in the whois and it was regularly scraped for targets.

      I tell everyone to do the privacy guard/redaction.
