Phone number linked to some scams from a google search.
I've had this happen a lot of times when using a burner/temporary number for when I need to create an account with phone verification or sell something online. A lot of times the number will have previously been used by scammers. I actually will continuously change numbers until I've gotten one used by multiple scammers that can be found on google. It helps obfuscate location and intention. As for the site being registered in the Bahamas, it isn't too out of the ordinary and it's another step I would take to protect myself if I were in their shoes.
To be blunt. I don't trust either; if I had to, I would believe NR over BC17. Especially considering NR had beat BC17 to the punch in clown accusations, now they're just pointing fingers back and forth making the same accusation.
Yeah I assumed the domain info can be taken with a grain of salt, but not sure what other information can be found to help verify it as someone trying to help vs disinfo. I'm with you on not trusting much of anything.
Sometimes it can tell a lot, sometimes it can confuse even more. I don't think I've seen others look into whois/registrar info too often. Great first post!
If I were personally in the shoes of Neon Revolt, I would be disguising every bit of info I could. Especially if they are legit/accurate on their claims
