Exactly. I can show you several that have used our company and whois info (ours is public) to set up scam offerings. In fact you can see by my sig that one of the first times I offered some domains in here to sell someone registered our company name on skype and tried to get some GFY'ers to send money for the domains. Skype wouldn't even respond to our attempted fraud complaints.

Giving up privacy rights won't stop a crook for a second.

There are also a lot of countries privacy laws that this idea will fly in the face of so honestly I think it will fail. Still it's worth making the point to the powers that be that losing privacy is a non starter.

Do not skype as someone is imitating us for fraudulent reasons. Use above email or the email off the whois only.
