    This email came today

    Dear Sir/Madam 2009-8-25

    We are a internet service (software development, website design and development, wifi network works to promote the protection of brands, search engine optimization, etc.) company in China,

    Several days ago we received a formal application submited by 'this guy' who wanted to use the keyword "my domain name" to register the Internet Brand and with

    suffix .cn /.com.cn /.net.cn/.hk/ .asia/ domain names.

    After our initial checking through Internet, we found that the keyword "my domain name" to be applied for registration is same as your keyword. Accordingly, before we finish his registration, we would like to get your final decision about this, whether you mind his registration, if you believe his registration would affect your bussiness and produce conflict, then we could give your priority to register them, as the keyword is first used by your company. However, if you do not think so, please advise of that and then we will finish his registration.

    For proceeding the next step, Please contact us by Fax,Telephone or Email as soon as possible. Under the circumstance of no your reply during the next 5 working days, we will consider you to give it up and finish his registration.

    Yours sincerely

    xxxxxx

    Fax: xx xxx xxxxxxxx
    Email: somebody at some domain
    Website:www.xxxxxxx.com..
    Mail No.:

    I don't think it would be a problem for me. Owning those extensions does not interest me. I own the .com, .net, and .org. What do you guys and guyettes think.

    It's probably a scam. The story is made up only to make you nervous and register domains with them that you normally would not register.

    Spam / scam. What kind of registrar would tell you someone else tried to register a domain similar to yours and then try to sell it to you?

    They just want you to purchase your name in .cn - from them preferably.

    My favorite are the ones that begin "Dear valued customer". If I'm so valued - how come you don't even know my name?

    Thanks for the replies. You're all correct. I googled their domain (wifinantong dot com) and the results shown reflected the same thing. SPAM!

    The extensions mentioned in the email didn't interest me, although I had considered offering the .net and/or .org for sale to them. It's good to have access to forum members who know what they're talking about.

    I'm currently in negotiations for another of my domains. The "make another sale" possibility had my blood boiling for a while.

    man, man, man it never ceases does it?

    Upon to the content, it is some strange.

    I am curious that:

    1. the man who wrote the email is not a domainer.

    or

    2. the man who wrote the email is hiding his identification of being a domainer.

    They target end-users, companies etc. Would be smart if they would not spam domainers...I get like 100 a month of this crap, they keep changing their email to another domain so kilfilter works for a while before they change it again
