Anyone have the experience registering a domain name with false personal information?

I’m trying to register one but all provider asks for name and address. Anyone have the experience providing false information? Do they really care enough to check your info manually if you don’t use your domain name for malicious purposes?

particularly interested in experiences with cloudflare

thanks a lot

    Someone compromising your account and transferring the domain away, the register being compromised, someone sending you a fake domain renewal notice (this one I have seen happen)

      thanks a lot!

      That means everyone could use whois to look up the name and address associated with a certain domain if no privacy protection is provided by the provider right?

      I have 6 domain renewal notices sitting in my Spam folder now.

      Another recent one has been notices supposedly from my email provider saying it’s time to renew. That one almost got me.

      I really wish GPG signing of emails had actually taken off. Would have solved this type of problem completely.
