More likely someone who has access to the registry database and sells it to scammers. Not good, but I'm not at all certain, it is a given registrar. even though I'm not a fan of the one you mentioned.
This is exactly what happened to me. I recently purchased a domain name from go daddy and these calls/emails/text messages started immediately afterwards. I know they sold my information. Godaddy also recently started selling "privacy protection services" that they push on you when you purchase your domain name. So angry about Godaddy.com
Purchased a domain registration from 1and1.com and the spam calls started rolling in. I got three the next business day, 2 of them hangups. 1and1.com treats its customers like garbage. <meta name="Description" content="1and1.com treats customer like garbage avoid">
