Total Fraud reports received this quarter = 24
Investigation Results
ARIN received a total of twenty-four fraud reports during the 2nd quarter of 2013. Three reports identified invalid information in the ARIN Whois database, which ARIN followed up on by contacting the ISP or registrant and asking for updated information. Two reports focused on fraudulent information being submitted to ARIN, one for IP justification and one for SWIP. ARIN is still in the process of investigating both of these reports.
Nineteen 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.
