Izaac - Feel free to note that companies involved and forward the message to me… ARIN does pursue misuse of Whois information for marketing purposes. Thanks! /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers
There’s certainly a Tier-1 doing it for RIPE, every time a new AS is registered for example.. I imagine it’s the same in ARIN too..

There are many Tier 1s doing it and they have moved to LinkedIn these days instead of emails. -- Kushal R Chief Executive | Host4Geeks site: host4geeks.com email: kushal.r@h4g.co skype: kush.raha On 19 December 2018 at 8:55:31 PM, Antonios Chariton (daknob.mac@gmail.com) wrote: There’s certainly a Tier-1 doing it for RIPE, every time a new AS is registered for example..

Can confirm that one. I've stopped being nice in my responses. Every time I post to NANOG, I get multiple LinkedIn link requests or e-mails about selling my excess gear. It's getting old real quick. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org

I recommend: Connect:linkedin.com ERROR:5.7.1:"550 Mail refused" From:linkedin.com ERROR:5.7.1:"550 Mail refused" Salt to taste for your environment/MTA, but since the spammers running LinkedIn seem very unlikely to stop, this appears to be the optimal way to conserve bandwidth and time. ---rsk

Except you know, those of us who actually use LinkedIn for professional contacts and all. I don't mind connecting with people as long as I've actually talked with you before on some professional level. It does have some nice features for connecting on a business level, just people are abusing the shit out of it. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org
After setting up my ASN, I received unsolicited emails from NTT and calls from Cogent. Fortunately I haven't gotten anything (or at least anything that I noticed) on LinkedIn. On Wed, Dec 19, 2018, 12:58 PM Brielle Bruns <bruns@2mbit.com wrote:

I got to a point a few years ago that anyone who finds my contact info anywhere on the internet and wants to sell me something is going to spam me, and there's nothing I can do about it. I just utilize the blocking / ignore functions of $platform and go about my day. At one time I did have a devious hold/transfer loop of doom setup on the company PBX that came in handy for trolling annoying sales calls, but I don't have access the company one now, and setting up my own for the same lulz is way too close to actual work for my tastes.
