Something is very wrong all around...

FTC.net is listed as registered to the Federal Trade Commission, and even redirects there.

BUT the name servers are wrong - FTC.gov uses ns1 and ns2.ftc.gov for its nameservers, NOT ns1 and ns2.afraid.org

Afraid.org is a dynamic redirect service.

Most likely the whois change / redirection is simply a ruse to throw people off as to who really owns ftc.net ...

But another, more disturbing, possibility is FTC.net is redirecting as part of a planned phish scheme.
