Subject: Urgent Business Proposals and the Ontario Provincial Police
The address phonebusters.com is listed on VeriSign whois as belonging to
Phonebusters: Ontario Provincial Police (PHONEBUSTERS3-DOM)
Box 686
North Bay, Ontario P1B 8I8
CA
However, based upon recent experience, not all registrars are as careful
about checking registration information as they should be. So this is not a
guarantee that the address does belong to the Ontario Provincial Police; but
it is very likely.
