Instant spam 123-reg

[Whois-Search]

When you register a domain with 123-reg, even if the name has never been registered before - you get instant spam to that domain from the catch all email.

So either 123-reg sell the list of recently registered domains or people are mining the Opensrs list of recently registered domains.

Has anyone else noticed this ?

Havn't noticed anything to suggest 123-reg is anything different to any other registrar.
Have had no experience of what you suggest and would think it is from another source personally.
