ICANN requires all domain registrants to file real contact info when registering domains, and may cancel a domain if the info provided is false. To keep domain info confidential, third party domain privacy entities are allowed to substitute their contact info for the actual registrant's contact info at the domain registrar level, so any whois request that the public makes will show the domain privacy entity's info ("The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity"). In asic-technologies' case, Contact Privacy Inc is that entity, and Contact Privacy's address is in Toronto. Tucows is the domain registrar, and fasthosts.co.uk is the domain reseller for Tucows. Fasthosts is probably hosting the website, thus "Website Location: United Kingdom".

Contact Privacy Inc, as well as fasthosts.co.uk, both have the actual contact info provided by the asic-technologies scammers, but I doubt that the info would be real either.

I thought that might be the case
