Asian Registrar Domain Scam
Asian Registrar Domain Scam
It seems that there is an Asian Registrar Domain Scam going on where they contact .com businesses telling them that someone in their country (China) wants to Register the Asian domain extensions of your business name. Don't buy into this. Here is one I received recently.
QUOTE (This is very urgent, Please forward this to your CEO.)
Dear CEO,
We are the department of Asian Domain registration service in china, have something to confirm with you. We formally received an application on May 19, 2010. One company which self-styled "Pauns Investment Co" Were applying to register"YourDomainHere" As Network Brand and following domain names:
YourDomainHere.asia
YourDomainHere.co.in
After our initial checking, we found the brand name were similar to your company's, so we need to check with you whether your company has authorized that company to register these names. If you authorized this, we will finish the registration at once. If you did not authorize, please let us know within 7 workdays, so that we will handle this issue better. Out of the time limit we will unconditionally finish the registration for "Pauns Investment Co".
Best Regards
