I also frequently check WhoIs info to see who I am dealing with. If anyone can register a domain in someone else's name, what is to stop them from registering one in the name of a well-known reputable domainer, set up an email account then start sending out phony sale offers at very low prices. People check the WhoIs and go "Oh I know him, this must be legit" and they send off the money which will never be seen again. In addition to them being conned the person's name that was used without his knowledge has his reputation trashed.
