Domain scams continue, this time from SK Holdings Company Ltd.

I’ve written about several domain-name scams before, such as the Century Net Group Stocks Limited one, the Karl Fischer one, and the Asia Domain Name Registration Limited one.

Going by the number of hits to my blog every day from people searching the Internet for ‘Karl Fischer,’ that one is still going strong.

Here’s the latest one. Don’t be fooled, don’t respond.

Subject: Intellectual propety rights(TO CEO)

Dear CEO,

We are the domain name registration organization in Asia, which mainly deal with international company’s in Asia. We have something important need to confirm with your company.

On the August 11 2008, we received an application formally. One company named “Tianwei Holdings Limited Company” wanted to register following

Internet Trademark: {your trademark here}
Domain names:{your domain names here}

through our body.

During our auditing procedure we find out that the alleged “Tianwei Holdings Limited Company” has no trade mark, Intellectual property, nor patent even similar to that word. we found that the keywords and domain names applied for registration are as same as your company’s name and trademark. one point need you to confirm: whether this alleged “Tianwei Holdings Limited Company” is your business partner or distributor in ASIA. if so, we will complete their registration. These days we are dealing with it.

If you are not in charge of this please transfer this email to appropriate dept. in order to deal with this issue better, please let someone who is responsible for trademark or domain name contact me as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

Richard.zhang

    Linda / West Technology Group can certainly claim couple of more victims, since for many of us that are just returning from international fairs – answering many of the mails in a day is becoming a routine and sometimes we are forgetting to think of the spam. I am sending the mail we received (unfortunately I replied and then checked afterwards, and found this blog).

    So I want to thank you for raising these issues publicly.

    Another round today (2/3/09):

    Dear CEO,

    We are the Domain Name Registration Center in Asia, which mainly deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally. We have something important need to confirm with your company, we formally received an application on Feb 2, 2009. One company who called “Worldmkc Holdings Limitd” are applying for following:
    1. Domain Names:
    (mybrand).com.asia
    (mybrand).com.br
    etc
    2. Internet Brand:
    (mybrand)

    As there occured many such kind of domain name grabbing matter these days in Asia, when I got this application, I checked it and found that the domain names and Internet Brand applied for registration are as same as your company’s name and Brand. Because the domain names and keywords may relate to the usufruct of brand name on internet.

    Now, we need your confirmation of:
    1. The relationship between your company and “Worldmkc Holdings Limitd”.
    2. If you ask “Worldmkc Holdings Limitd” to register domain names from us, then we’ll help you to finish the registration in these days.

    We need to know the opinion of your company, this matter is very urgent, please contact us as soon as possible. Please let someone in your company who is responsible for trademark or intellectual right contact me freely.

    Awaiting for your reply!

    Dear Talos,

    Thanks for your timely reply.
    If you have no relationship with them. According to our working experience, there are 2 possibilities:
    1. Sraring-Zemand is a domain name investment company, they want to register these names before you and sell back to you to gain profits.
    2. It may be a commercial method, Sraring-Zemand is consigned by your competitor to register, make your clients confused.

    We knew you have registered the domain name “buccellati.com” and own the intellectual property, this is why we informed you.
    But now Sraring-Zemand company do not want to register your trademark or domain name “buccellati.com”, they wanted to apply for
    other domain names and keywords you have not registered yet.The domain names which they applied are listed below:
    buccellati.com.hk
    buccellati.com.tw
    buccellati.hk
    buccellati.tw
    buccellati.sg
    buccellati.co.nz
    buccellati.jp
    and Internet Trademark: Buccellati

    Because domain name takes open registration, this is international domain name registration principle. Sraring-Zemand has right to register it.
    As a domain name registrar, we have no right to dispute their application. So required by government to inform your company to protect your
    interest.

    As the owner of “buccellati.com”,you will get the priority to register these domain names and Internet Trademark. Of course, each company has
    their own idea. If you don’t think their application will affect your company, you can give up, we will finish their registration. But if you think their
    registration will confuse your clients and harm your profits, we can send an application form to you and help you register these within dispute
    period. This is the only way to prevent domain name grab. Hope you can give me your decision ASAP. So that we can handle the next step.

    Hi Allen,

    Here’s what I received today. It is from “West Industries Limited” but the contact seems to be different than the ones shown here.

    ——————————

    Dear Manager,

    We are a professional intellectual property rights consultant organization, mainly engaged in domain name registration and internet intellectual property rights protection.

    We formally received an application from Pusen Technology Limited on August. 10, 2010, whom applied for registering the internet keyword “alstom-power ” and some related domain names with our organization.

    During our preliminary investigation, we found the keyword of those domain names is identical as your trademark. Therefore, we need to confirm with you whether you consigned Pusen Technology Limited to register with us or not? Or, is Pusen Technology Limited your partner or distributor? If you don’t have any relationship with this company, they may probably have other purposes to obtain those domain names and internet keyword.

    We have already suspended this company’s application temporarily due to the seriousness of this issue. In order to avoid the vicious domain name grab, please let your principal make a confirmation with me via telephone or email as soon as possible. Thank you for your support to our work!

    Best Regards

    Nancy

    Hi Alan,

    This is how it was sent to me. The contact information seems to be different but the overall content is very similar.

    I too received one worded slightly different; (below) I was going to respond and tell them they could purchase it for double the amount I paid to register/setup the site if they wanted it so badly – glad I found your blog

    Dear Principal,

    Sorry to trouble you!We are a domain name registration and dispute organization in Asia,which mainly deal with the global companies’ domain name registration and internet intellectual property right protection.Currently,we have a pretty important issue needing to confirm with your company.

    On September 19,2010,we received an application formally. A company named Gabriel-ljw Holdings Ltd. wanted to register some domain names with the keyword of “my domain/brand” through our organization.

    Now we are handling with the registration of these domain names.When we checking their application,we found the keyword of these domain names are identical with your company’s. So, I want to confirm with you: Have you consigned Gabriel-ljw Holdings Ltd. to register those domain names? Or are they your subbranch in Asia?

    We haven’t finished the registration of Gabriel-ljw Holdings Ltd. yet,and we have postponed this application of this company temporarily already.In order to deal with this issue better,please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible.Waiting for your reply ASAP.

    Best Regards,
    Jennifer
