My first thought was to whois chunkhost.info, which returns a clear name, email address and phone number.

Or is it that easy to register a domain with a fictitious persona?

Virtually every registrar allows instant update of whois records via a web interface. I can have Bill Gates be the technical contact on my personal domain in about a minute.
