I got a call from an old friend this morning...he told me that a website is using his personal home address as the website business address, and he's getting calls from customers who are not happy. He has no idea who owns this website or why they are using his info.

Best way to proceed? Contact the hosting company? Or ?

That's what they are trying first...but no reply so far, and considering this appears to be a "spam" or "fraudulent" company, that is using private registration, I am assuming that just contacting them will not work.
 
If it's hosted in the USA contact the support via their abuse, usually abuse@. Tell them what is going on and tell them that your next letter will be to attorney general, senator and blah blah blah. You get the idea.
 
Enlist the services of Russians, and DDoS them off the internet.

Or tell your friend to call his phone company, and ask for his number to be unlisted.

Maybe he should not sell shity products, since unhappy customers are calling him or at least refund them properly.

Carry on...​

What? The guy is a physical therapist, he does not know much of anything about the Internet or websites. It's not his site, it's a site using his contact info.

It's like this: If Amazon.com listed their support address as your home address, and then you kept getting letters and calls from Amazon customers,
even though you have absolutely nothing to do with Amazon.
 
If you pull that with my address, I"ll be contacting the police, the FBIs internet crime unite, every possible authority regarding identity theft and more. You'd have to worry about criminal and civil charges, everything a well paid attorney can think up.

And that will be just to start. I won't be specific, but I'll make my mission to make your life miserable and make it so you regret the day you fucking decided to take my address and name in vain. I take that back, I'll make you regret the day you were born. Got it punk?

The last thing you will have to worry about is hosting/domains. But then again, I have anger management issues; you don't want to be on the receiving end of that.
