> So .us is more trustworthy than .com. Good to know.

Be careful about concluding things like that.

The TLD has a requirement that you publish your info. That doesn't mean they have any way of verifying it. If someone could prove that the info was false then they might lose the domain, but they also lose the domain if someone can prove that they're operating a scam. So the scammers just make up fake info and all the requirement is doing is impacting the privacy of honest people who want a .us domain.
