    Did anyone else see Watchdog last night & do a quick whois lookup for carengines.co.uk?

    Apparently, "Nominet was able to match the registrant's name and address against a 3rd party data source on 10-Dec-2012"

    "UK Limited Company, (Company number: 111222)" is obviously false.

    "Registrant: Okani ltd " was (assuming it is a UK registered company - as stated) incorporated on 21 Jan 2010 and dissolved on 30 Aug 2011.

    So, on the day Nominet claim to have validated the registration data, the registrant didn't legally exist & hadn't existed for over a year.


    Is 'data validation' just a job retention exercise at Nominet Towers? :confused:

    Not related to the domain mentioned above, but is this a new message in the Who-Is? Just saw this listed on a UK domain regarding data:
