I'm really sorry to hear that, but...

Welcome to our world. The more domain names you own or manage, the more 
SPAM you'll get. Especially if they're new registrations. Those are a special
target. I have several domain names that use unique information that is not
posted anywhere else but in the WHOIS - yet they get SPAM as quick as within a 
week.  That's why I set up http://www.hiddenregistration.com/  Folks don't 
have to agree with the concept - or use it - but for those that need to be 
hidden, it works.

It's nasty out here.
