Hello Community,

When I was working on financing a real estate project, I came across an elaborate scam for high-priced investment brokerage and similar services.

A gang of fraudsters is looking for a registered company that has no presence on the web. The managing director found in the register is typically not on LinkedIn (or other social platforms), often because they are a bit older or other reasons. The fraudsters create a professional-looking website and offer the above-mentioned services in a credible manner.

The GDPR, which was introduced a few years ago, does not allow the WHOIS of the domain to be checked, so you don't know whether the site really belongs to the registered company. The fraudster has an easy time passing the due diligence because the website pretends to belong to a company that actually exists. While the real company owner doesn't even know that he has a website and that someone is doing business on his behalf.

(Now I have understood why it is worth making a more expensive SSL certificate with the company name.)

However, how do you go about checking the authenticity of a website today? Are there special rules that allow you to view WHOIS data without a court order?
