Help! Any of you ever receive this email?

[michaelg314]

Folks, have any of you ever received an email like the one below? I have no idea if this is legit or some type of scam/trap. Please let me know what you all think. I do own the domain name aristocracia.com, but not any trademarks on it (at least none that I am aware of). It was sent from a [email protected] . Thanks.


To whom it may concern: 2009-7-31

We are a domain name registration service company in Asia,

Last week we received a formal application submited by Justin Lee who wanted to use the keyword "ARISTOCRACIA" 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 company's application

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



Yours sincerely



Margaret

It's a scam, I've received few emails like that in the last year.

Sounds like they are trying to sell it to you.

Why would anyone say "We are a domain name registration service company in Asia", instead of the actual country (China, Japan, etc).

And "Checking Department"?

Scam.

Scam - they want to scare you into registering / buying the domain from them.

I received that exact email with another .com I owned. The jist is for you to register the names before "Justin" does. It's BS.
