Very strange search term
I got a very strange referrer. It’s a Google search, like this:
“thomas reece” called phone
Can any of you please help me theorize what this is about?

That was me; I’m being pestered by the same referrer/blog spammer, and I was wondering if any bloggers out there had gone as far as calling the number in “Thomas Reece’s” whois info. Most likely it’s all bogus. Thanks for staying on top of this problem.

Someone did a reverse search on that phone number, and found a different person on the receiving end. I don’t know if anyone’s actually called the number. I guess that could be a quick way of securing a harassment charge… The person on the other end is after all most likely innocent. There’s no indication any of the whois info is accurate.
