Businesses around the world constantly face an onslaught of spammer and scammers on a daily basis either by mail, email, or phone. Today let's talk about one scam that has been going on for quite some time, but has recently reared it's ugly head yet again. When you register domain names and trademarks, make sure that all the relevant people know the companies you use to procure and maintain these services, many scams are targeted directly at people that either don't know any better, or are far too busy to consider the ramifications. In this case, we received multiple emails from people claiming to be from various chinese domain registries, indicating that a company there has tried to register domains that resemble our own. Sounds innocent enough to begin with, however these are nothing but a scam to try and get you to pay exhorbant fees on domain names and 'internet names' that you don't need or want. Below is the contents of one such email: (It's very urgent, please transfer this email to your CEO. Thanks) This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration in China. On Oct 10, 2018 , we received an application from Kailan Ltd requested "senseict" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (senseict.cn, senseict.com.cn, senseict.net.cn, senseict.org.cn). But after checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it's necessary to send email to you and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China?Best Regards**************************************Steve Liu | Service & Operations ManagerCN Registry (Head Office) | 6012, Xingdi Building, No. 1698 Yishan Road, Shanghai 201103, ChinaTel: +86-02164193517 | Fax: +86-02164198327 | Mob: +86-13816428671Email: steve @ cnregistry.org.cnWeb: www.cnregistry.org.cn**************************************This email contains privileged and confidential information intended for the addressee only.

In effect, what they're trying to do is act on your complacency or urgency to protect your apparent trademark, however in doing so, they charge you thousands of dollars. If you want  to get yourself a .cn or .asia domain, We strongly recommend purchasing them via your preferred provider, these emails are nothing but a falacy to get you to spend money with them. What do you do if you get one've these emails? We advise you ignore it, and add the sending addresses to your spam filters; If you really do want to get these domains then purchase them with your trusted domain provider.
