[members-discuss] Cogent uses RIPE DB for spam

Hi,
We have received one from them as well. 

I would not consider is spam though. We have our own AS so we might be potentially interested in IP Transit. It was B2B anyway and wasn't hard selling. I wouldn't complain.

With Kind Regards,
Dominik Nowacki

Subject: [members-discuss] Cogent uses RIPE DB for spam

Hi Colleagues,

First of all, happy Friday 13 =)

Cogent uses RIPE DB for phone spam. My colleague just received a phone call from +31204621445 with IP Transit offer. Colleague's phone number is published as admin-c in RIPE DB only.

For me it's very bad practice for same company like Cogent to use RIPE DB for spamming. Did anybody receive same calls/emails based on RIPE DB info?

Thanks.
