I registered a .us domain yesterday (which doesn't support WHOIS protection-esque anonymity services) and so far today I've received:

* 6 phone calls

* 4 voicemails

* 9 emails

all from what looks like companies from third-world countries offering business development services, website designs, app developers, logo design, etc, specifically asking about the new domain I purchased.

Sounds like .us needs to be handled like .com was before those services even existed - either fake info or a free/cheap Voip line.
