As both registrants are in the middle of Manhattan Island at addresses that do not correspond to any mailing address known to Google or Yahoo, I'm willing to bet that they're fake. Let's take a look at the mailing addresses for the technical and administrative contacts.

Yep, the nice Registrar again. Let's look at mail servers...
The mail server for future-2000.net is:
Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find future-2000.net: No answer
Authoritative answers can be found from:
future-2000.net
origin = ns0.future-2000.net
mail addr = hostmaster.future-2000.net
serial = 200308131
refresh = 1800
retry = 900
expire = 604810
minimum = 1200
|
Hmm... Doesn't exist. If we ask ns0.future-2000.net we get:
Server: ns0.future-2000.net
Address: 219.150.118.16
Authoritative answers can be found from:
(root) nameserver = F.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = G.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = H.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = I.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = J.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = K.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = L.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = M.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = A.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = B.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = C.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = D.ROOT-SERVERS.net
(root) nameserver = E.ROOT-SERVERS.net
|
So it doesn't exist. An "A" query for future-2000.net (just in case it's an explicit name rather than a MX) yields the similar results. Actually, any query to ns0.future-2000.net returns only pointers to the root servers. This might be valuable later in complaining about the domain.
Also, please note that the root servers indicate that the domain is served by ns0.future-2000.net and that it is at 219.150.118.16. This most definitely is valuable when we look at server headers below.
The mail server for support-24x7.biz is:
Server: full1.gandi.net
Address: 217.70.177.42
support-24x7.biz preference = 10, mail exchanger =
redir-mailav-telehouse1.gandi.net
support-24x7.biz preference = 10, mail exchanger =
redir-mailav-telehouse2.gandi.net
support-24x7.biz nameserver = full1.gandi.net
support-24x7.biz nameserver = full2.gandi.net
|
Let's see if we can grab web server headers:

This could be the standard redir that some of the registrar's have started doing. (Yeah, even Network Solutions uses this unethical practice.)

Ah! Not a redirect! Grabbing www.future-2000.net returns a page that looks like:

Somehow, I'm still not convinced. Let's take a look at that IP address. A reverse lookup of 64.234.220.141 returns:
Name: shetef.com
Address: 64.234.220.141

A Google lookup on "shetef.com" leads to a slew of bloggers who've gotten this far and have complained about a spammer and are looking for someone to pound.

Again, the Gandi registrar and the shetef.com DNS server. How about MX records for those two?
A DNS MX lookup on dns2005.net returns:
Authoritative answers can be found from:
dns2005.net
origin = ns0.dns2005.net
mail addr = hostmaster.dns2005.net
serial = 200308131
refresh = 1800 (30M)
retry = 900 (15M)
expire = 604810 (1w10s)
minimum ttl = 1200 (20M)

A familiar failure. A DNS MX lookup on manage-dns.net returns:
** server can't find manage-dns.net: SERVFAIL
|
So MX records for manage-dns.net aren't configured. Remember that the WHOIS lookup for manage-dns.net points back to 64.234.220.141. Let's take a closer look at that IP. Remember the reverse lookup on 64.234.220.141 returned:
Name: shetef.com
Address: 64.234.220.141
|
and that the MX record for shetef.com returned:
Non-authoritative answer:
shetef.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.shetef.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
shetef.com nameserver = ns2.dnsmadeeasy.com
shetef.com nameserver = ns3.dnsmadeeasy.com
shetef.com nameserver = ns4.dnsmadeeasy.com
shetef.com nameserver = ns0.dnsmadeeasy.com
shetef.com nameserver = ns1.dnsmadeeasy.com
mail.shetef.com internet address = 67.18.52.66
ns2.dnsmadeeasy.com internet address = 66.117.40.198
ns3.dnsmadeeasy.com internet address = 64.246.42.123
ns4.dnsmadeeasy.com internet address = 205.177.124.51
ns0.dnsmadeeasy.com internet address = 63.219.151.3
ns1.dnsmadeeasy.com internet address = 69.10.137.166

Pointing a browser at http://escape.websitewelcom.com brings up the standard cPanel default page. So does pointing the browser at the IP address.
Performing a Google lookup on websitewelcome.com reveals that that domain appears to be a reseller client of hostgator.com. Suspiciously, it appears to be their only reseller client. One of HostGator's features is that reseller clients are allowed to host unlimited sites.
Pointing a browser at http://www.websitewelcome.com returns a directory listing.
Going back to shetef.com, a Google search reveals that CodyTheFreak is quite unhappy with shetef.com. He also points out a few extra domains. It appears that CodyTheFreak and I are the only ones that have traced the spammer back that far and have complained about it. All other Google entries appear to be spam for the shareware/software available on shetef's site.
I've probably missed a bunch of stuff associated with this spammer, but as I've spent the better part of a Saturday afternoon working on this, I'm going to drop it here.
