The story concluded that this dubious service had been scamming people and companies for more than a decade, and promised a Part II to explore who was behind Web Listings.

Since at least 2007, Web Listings Inc. has been sending snail mail letters to domain registrants around the world.

A Twitter account for Web Listings Inc. has posts dating back to 2010, and points to even more Web Listings domains, including weblistingsinc.org.

KrebsOnSecurity did receive a response from Cobra Group founder Chris Niarchos, a Toronto native who said this was the first he'd heard of the Web Listings scam.

Ten points if you said "Finzthegoose.com." Now let's run a search on the phone number for Mark Carter - the phony persona behind all the Web Listings domains registered to the Niagara Falls address - +1.716-285-3575.
