Domain scammers keep on scamming

It’s nice to know that the “Checking Department” is looking out for me. This is a scam: If you respond, they’ll hit you up for money to “protect” your domain. Just ignore them. Don’t be fooled!

Subj: Domain Dispute and Registration

Dear Sir/Madam 2009-4-13

We are a domain name registration service company in Asia,

Last week we received a formal application submited by Yadu Investment Co.,Ltd. which wanted to use the keyword “_____” 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 this company. Because these domain names would produce possible dispute, now we have hold down this registration, but if we do not get your company’s an reply in the next 5 working days, we will approve his application

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

Yours sincerely

    Aloha Alan:
    I received this e-mail today. Instead of repsonding I “Googled” it and saw your posting. As suggested I just trashed the e-mail. I never trust an e-mail that starts with the “Nigerian scam international greeting” of Dear Sir/Madam but since I have protected my domain name for many years I thought I would check.
    Your posting validated my skepticism. There are good things happening on the internet!
    Mahalo (thank you) for your vigilance & sense of community service.
