Total Fraud reports received this quarter = 35
Investigation Results
ARIN received a total of thirty-five fraud reports during the 1st quarter of 2013. Two reports identified fraudulent ARIN Whois information, which ARIN is working with both reporters on to reques transfers. Two reports focused on fraudulent IP justification information, which ARIN has investigated and been unable to verify. One report stated that an end user range of IP addresses is being used for ISP usage, but again, ARIN has researched this and been unable to verify, and one report identified an erroneous ASN registration record, which ARIN has researched and resolved.
Twenty-nine fraud reports received during this quarter were reports of incidents related to phishing, spam, identity theft, etc. ARIN did not investigate any of these reports, because they are outside the scope of ARIN’s mission. ARIN’s response to each of these reports was to notify the reporter that the fraud reporting process is restricted to matters specifically related to ARIN’s mission and area of authority such as false utilization reporting, number resource hijacking in ARIN’s database, and other activity involving fraudulent submissions to ARIN or fraudulent changes to data in ARIN’s Whois. In each of these report responses, ARIN staff provides additional useful information, including information on querying Whois, contact information for the network operator associated with a given IP address, etc. No further action was taken.
