Notice of Domain Names Property Protection

Filed in Scams To Avoid on Jun.06, 2010 By Keith Lunt

Just a quick warning about an email that you might receive and be wondering about.

Some customers have received this email, which I have also received myself. All it seems to be is a way of trying to persuade you to register a few unnecessary domain names. I suppose that calling it a scam is a bit strong, but the idea is for you to part with your cash to register copies of your current .com domain under a variety of endings.

Whether it goes any further once they have your payment details I have never heard. But unless you really want copies of your domain name that end .cn etc, there really is no point in replying to the email!

Dear Sir/Madam

I’m sorry to disturb you so abrupt. We are a domain name registration service company in Asia,

On XX XXX . we received a formal application submitted by Mr. John Wang who wanted to use the keyword “YYYYYYY” to register the Internet Brand and with suffix such as .cn /.com.cn /.net.cn/.hk/.asia/ domain names.

After our initial examination, we found that these domain names to be applied for registration are same as your domain name and trademark. We aren’t sure whether you have any relation with him. Because these domain names would produce possible dispute, now we have hold down his registration, but if we do not get your company’s an reply in the next 5 working days, we will approve his application

As authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we hereby suspect Mr. John Wang is a domain investor. so we need you to attach importance to this issue.

In order to handle this issue better, Please contact us by Fax ,Telephone or Email as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely
Aimee
