[Gllug] [OT] How to do I report a fake domain registration

I have been spammed by a UK company (Direct Fax and Email Marketing Ltd)
but the registration for the domain clearly shows fake addresses being
used (see below).

Given that I would be happy to do as much as I possibly copuld to
disrupt a spammer's business, who can i complain to about this who will
actually do something about it? (It is the .com TLD but there is nothing
obvious on the verisign site)
