[Allan Sherman]

I suspect that the  zoomcrc.com
<https://www.webnames.ca/whois#?currentDomain=zoomcrc.com> domain is not
owned by zoom based on the following information.

The "real zoom" URL appears to be zoom.us.  A "whois" search on the zoom.us
domain produces:

Domain Name: zoom.us
Registrar: GoDaddy.com, Inc.
Registrant Name: Bill Lu
Registrant Organization: Zoom Video Communications, Inc.
Registrant Street: 55 Almaden Boulevard
Registrant City: San Jose
Registrant State/Province: California
Registrant Postal Code: 95148
Registrant phone: +1.4085086746


Checking the domain zoomcrc.com shows:

Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC
Registry Registrant ID: Not Available From Registry
Registrant Name: Registration Private
Registrant Organization: Domains By Proxy, LLC
Registrant Street: DomainsByProxy.com
Registrant Street: 14455 N. Hayden Road
Registrant City: Scottsdale
Registrant State/Province: Arizona
Registrant Postal Code: 85260
Registrant Country: US
Registrant Phone: +1.4806242599
Registrant Email: ZOOMCRC.COM at domainsbyproxy.com


DomainsByProxy.com  appears to be a business intended to hide the real
identity of the owner of the URL.  I would expect that since zoom.us has
published the id of the URL owner, they have no reason to hide the
ownership of zoomcrc, if it indeed belonged to them.

I have no idea of the significance (if anything) of GoDaddy.com, Inc. vs
GoDaddy.com, LLC.  Probably just an administrative snafu.


Regards,

Al
