has anyone ever heard anything about a website called “whohub.net”?

i received an email from them asking for an interview, and i was wondering if they were legit.

Look at the whois:

“
Registrant:

United States

Administrative Contact:

“

Strike 1: it’s in Florida - scam central.
Strike 2: “195 St” isn’t a valid address.
Strike 3: jerni.com doesn’t come up, and its own whois is suspicious.

And to top it off: the creation date is two days in the future...

You’re right on all counts, hrant.
That was the feeling I got from the email, but i wanted to see if anyone else had even heard of them.

I received a mail from them, too, and I wanted to check them out more. This is my first place to research them. From what I see above, I think I shall pass up this “one time offer!” Thanks!
