Chinese Domain Name Scam

I have received enough client inquiries about Chinese domain registrars sending scam emails like the one below that I think it is worth a post. This is an attempt to get you to register one or more domain names you likely don't need. My recommendation is treat these messages as spam, hit the delete key. Don't reply.

Dear Sir/Madam

We are Beijing Anwins Network Service Co., Ltd which is the domain name register center in China. We received a formal application from a company who is applying to register “myclientsdomainname” as their domain name and Internet keyword on Jun24, 2008. Because this involves your company name or trade mark so we inform you in no time. If you consider these domain names and internet keyword are important to you and it is necessary to protect them by registering them first, contact us soon.

Kind Regards


Johnny.li
