Somewhat related, but does anyone know how to deal with a .us domain? There is no WHOIS privacy with that TLD. A few hours after I bought a .us domain, I started receiving phone calls from all over the world, literally every 5-10 minutes for days, offering services for my “new business” associated with the TLD.

Is there any way to keep legitimate contacts in the registrar without getting a ton of spam?

There is a ruling that prevents hiding the .us domain registration and contact information or using anonymizing proxy [1]

Your information must be public. Maybe you can try national do not call registry [2] and see if it helps in this particular case.
