Domain name scams

If you own your own website, and have a brand associated with that name then it can be a messy business. With so many different countries having their own suffix, you find yourself in a position where suddenly it’s no longer just “.com”, but also “.net” “.co.uk” “.co.nz” and the list just goes on and on.

And before you go scoffing, this is a *really serious* problem. Can you imagine poor Paris Hilton and Linsday Lohan having the hassle of registering the website names like stupiddrunkskank.co.nz, stupiddrunkskank.com.au, stupiddrunkskank.co.uk, stupiddrunkskank.it

That’s a whole lot of mouse clicks and finger clicking.....let alone the sheer trauma of them having to find the on button for their computers.

It’s not really too surprising we are experiencing a campaign of spam from ....go on....guess.......haha, yeah it’s China. Again. But these emails, pretending to be acting in your favour, are nothing but lies and just a way for these companies to generate more business. They contact you on the pretence that a foreign company is trying to purchase websites using your domain and trademark names. However being the responsible and caring Domain Name Registration Service they are, they are first contacting you, the owner of the existing domains and trademarks, and will give you the amazing opportunity to get these website names first and therefore protect your brand. It’s a scam, it’s dodgy, it's unsolicited, and the outright lies from these companies should encourage you to never do business with them.

One point need you to confirm: whether this alleged Mr.ChengDong is your business partner or distributor in ASIA?

If like that, we will finish the person's application. If the person is not your partner or distributor, hope you can contact us in time so that we can deal with
the matter better. because this matter concerns your company's Intellectual Property Protection.

Is This a scam too?

Submitted by Diana Abdul (not verified) on Thu, 2008-04-24 08:35.

Our company received similar email from someone named Amy Chen. I freaked out at first, and to protect our company's identity, we actually called these people to confirm this matter. All she said was, if you don't want people to steal the identity, I will send you a quotation so that you can reserve your domain and identity. Suprise, surprise! The price she sent us was triple of what we normally pay for all of our domains! Started to realise that this was a scam, I quickly register the suggested domain that involves our company name with the normal host. Guess what. after months of ignoring this company's threat, I received another one today:

Subject: [*SPAM*] Re: keep quiet all the time

Dear Miss/Sir

I am very sorry that you handle this matter with such attitude. I can't contact you for such a long time. I also don't know where is the key problem is.I just want to help you protect intellectual property right instead of you would do as what I said to you. You own the preferential right to register these domain names,but it does not mean it belongs to you. If you think they are not important for you, you can abandon and we will register for Universe Limited Company.Once Universe Limited Company apply successfully, the possess right of these domain names belongs to Universe Limited Company not yours. That means you will lose the market in these domains. It becomes the key point of why the global domain names becomes so important. For it affects whether a company brand can exist or not.If you think we are helping you, pls contact us asap for the dispute time is almost at its end. Pls tell us your decision so that we can handle the next step.

Best Regards,

Amy Chen

They even call by phone and say "you only have 3 days to register, else your good name will be gone". So the aggressivity of their "marketing" increases.

From: Danny

Dear Kevin Littlejohn,
Thanks for your prompt reply. According to our investigation,We knew you have registered the domain name "obsidian.com.au" and own the intellectual property / own the trademark "obsidian", this is why we informed you. But now Karl Fischer wanted to apply for other domain names and internet brand you have not registered yet. Karl Fischer wants to apply the following domain names and internet brand:
1. Domain Name
obsidian.in
obsidian.hk
obsidian.asia
obsidian.tw
obsidian.sg
obsidian.tm

2. Internet Brand
obsidian

You must know Domain name takes open registration, this is international domain name registration rule. So Karl Fischer has right to register them. As a domain name registrar, we have no right to dispute their application. So inform your company to protect your interest. But as the company whose trademarks relate to the applied domains, you will get the priority to register these domain names.

If you have business in asia or you want to develop business in asia in the near future, so I think these domain names are very important for you! 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 these domain names are useful for your company, 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. Pls let us know your decision soon, so that we can handle the next step.

Best regards.

All Google's CN domain names registered by others

2005-09-27

"Gmail.cn", the domain name for Gmail in China, has been registered by a Beijing-based company instead. Gmail is a key product of Google.

In fact, almost all the CN domain names for Google's such products have been registered by others.

Launching Gmail in April 2004, Google registered "gmail.com.cn". However, gmail.cn was registered by a Beijing-based company as early as in August 2003.

Experts say, the time of the registration of "gmail.cn" was far earlier than the debut of Google's Gmail, so the possibility for the CN domain name to be recovered is rather slim unless the registration was vicious.

Months ago, Google recovered two domain names, i.e. "google.com.cn" and "google.cn" at high prices, but its troubles are far from this. It is shown at China Internet Network Information Center that the CN domain names for GoogleTalk, Google Earth, Googlelocal, etc. have all been registered by others.

Among the investor registers, there is the far-sighted such as a Guangdong-based company, who registered "googlelocal.cn" and "googlelocal.com.cn" in March 2004, far earlier than the one-week old GoogleLocal.

There are also others who did it after the news on Google's redeeming the domain names with one million yuan was released. They registered "googlemap.cn" and "googleearth.cn". The time of the registration of "googletalk.cn" and "googletalk.com.cn" was along side with the official appearance of GoogleTalk. It is really surprising that the registers could be so precise and fast.

People's Daily Online

Domain disputes
JIANG WEI
2005-11-14 06:37

Internet search engine company Google could be facing new disputes over its .cn domain names just several months after it spent nearly 1 million yuan (US$123,456) to register google.com.cn and google.cn.

Data from the China Internet Information Centre shows that although Google registered gmail.com.cn as soon as it globally launched its Gmail e-mail service in April last year, another relevant .cn domain name, Gmail.cn, has been registered by a Beijing-based company.

Now the key question is whether Google will apply for arbitration or be forced to buy it back.

It's unlikely that the company could get the domain name through arbitration or lawsuits unless it could show that the second party was registered it with malicious intent, says Hu Gang, a legal expert in internet disputes.

"That gmail.cn domain was registered in August 2003, far before Google developed Gmail," he says.

Hu says Google will definitely not be willing to let its worldwide brand be used by others.

Statistics from the CNNIC show that Gmail.cn is not the only domain name that Google failed to register. Other speculators have cashed in on the company's ignorance of .cn domain name protection. A number of .cn domain names relating to Google's well known online products, such as Google Talk, Google Earth and Google Local, have been registered by others.

A company in South China's Guangdong Province registered googlelocal.cn and googlelocal.com.cn in March 2004. Google only presented its Local localized search service to the Chinese market a few weeks ago.

Some of Google's domain names, including googlemap.cn and googleearth.cn, were quickly registered shortly after the US-based company's purchase of other .cn domain names.

Googletalk.cn and googltalk.com.cn were registered around the same time Google officially launched its Google Talk service.

"The low cost of registering and the high potential payback have made variations on Google's .cn domain names 'investment targets'," Hu says.

He suggests that any companies that might eventually rapidly expand should implement comprehensive .cn domain protection as soon as possible.

"It takes only several thousand to 10,000 yuan (US$1,235) to register hundreds of .cn domain names," he says. "That's just a small sum for large companies."

It can save them a lot of time and money, however, when they discover that they have lost a domain name.

"Some foreign companies are doing a pretty good job of protecting their online brands," he says.

Deutsche Telekom AG, for example, has not yet entered the Chinese market, but the company has already registered over 100 domain names.

Hu says that the German company's established domain name protection system identifies infringement risks before it enters a market.

"Enterprises can also learn from the example of Samsung," he says.

Earlier this year, the South Korean company registered approximately 470 .cn domain names. The effort covered many of the company's brands, sub-brands, officials' names, and any words that could damage the company's reputation.

"It is becoming standard procedure," Hu says.

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 April 13, 2008, we received an application formally. One company named "Win-Vao international Holdings Ltd" wanted to register following
Domain names:
*our company*.asia

Dear Sir

We received a formal application from a company who is called Meiao Investment Co.,Ltd is applying to register "XXXXX" as their domain name and Internet keyword in China as well as in Asia on April 14, 2008. During our auditing procedure we find out that the alleged Meiao Investment Co.,Ltd has no trade mark, brand nor patent even similar to that word. As authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we hereby suspect the alleged Meiao Investment Co.,Ltd to be a domain grabber. Hence we need your confirmation for two things,

First of all, whether this alleged Meiao Investment Co.,Ltd is your business partner or distributor in China.

Secondly, whether you are interested in registering these domains. (The alleged Meiao Investment Co.,Ltd will be entitled to obtain a domain not needed by original trademark owner.)

If you are not in charge of this please transfer this email to appropriate dept.

This is a letter for confirmation. If the mentioned third party is your business partner or distributor in China please DO NOT reply. We will automatically confirm application from your business partner after this audit procedure.

Karl Fischer is notorious at asianetwork.ws it appears ;-)

If you answered in the first place, you might get such a reply:

-- cut --
Dear xxx,
Thanks for your prompt reply. According to our investigation,We knew you have registered the domain name "xxx.com" and own the intellectual property / own the trademark "xxx", this is why we informed you. But now Karl Fischer wanted to apply for other domain names and internet brand you have not registered yet. Karl Fischer wants to apply the following domain names and internet brand:
1. Domain Name
xxx.asia
xxx.eu
xxx.ca
xxx.us
xxx.ca
xxx.in
xxx.co.uk

2. Internet Brand
xxx

You must know Domain name takes open registration, this is international domain name registration rule. So Karl Fischer has right to register them. As a domain name registrar, we have no right to dispute their application. So inform your company to protect your interest. But as the company whose trademarks relate to the applied domains, you will get the priority to register these domain names.

If you have business in asia or you want to develop business in asia in the near future, so I think these domain names are very important for you! 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 these domain names are useful for your company, 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. Pls let us know your decision soon, so that we can handle the next step.

Best regards.

Jerry

What's so funny about that is that I'd already registered xxx.eu in the meantime, so they now tried to offer me a domain that I already owned. Pure scam!

Sure enough, I did not receive further replies, but they wouldn't stop, now setting me a deadline:

-- cut --

Sorry to trouble you!We haven't received your reply so far.do you mean that you want to give up the registration?if so,we will sign the registration agreement with Karl Fischer. you will be responsible for the loss caused by the matter yourself.if you can't decide whether to register these domain names,please make a decision on the matter as soon as possible so that we can finish the registration processes for you as quickly as we can.The deadline is xx-xx-xxxx.if you have any questions,contact me freely.

Best regards.

Mail headers show the mail was sent from China via Google Mail.

Is there nothing we can do to get asianetwork.ws closed? They may reside in China, but .eu and .asia, etc. registries do not - and I can hardly imagine them tolerating domain name scammers and spammers.

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.

Received today from Hahn@asiaao.cn

And they also choose an existing model company (ROBBI GmbH) that, while not exactly a competitor, is in a similar field as our own - radio control scale models versus plasti scale models. Quite realistic and made me run for the "Replay" button!
Then I turned to Google instead ...

I speak Chinese and I called the number for "Johnson Du" listed on his email (which matches the contact info on the fexon.cn website). Lo and behold, there is a Johnson Du working there (his english is as bad as advertised, so we conversed in Mandarin--doesn't sound like a native HK person). He seemed perplexed that I would accuse him of being a fraud and said he would attempt to cancel the registration of the domain names at issue.

Interestingly enough he gave me different email addresses to send him a confirmation (after the original didn't work), and none of them worked! Finally, when I gave him my email address, he didn't (or wasn't able to) send me anything. In any case, this is a joke.

We received one too. Being the skeptic that I am, I decided to Google the company name and I was not surprised to see that it was indeed a scam. I've pasted here the text of the email... however, I've taken out our site name. The name of the offending company is still in the text for Google's spiders to pick up.

This really is a good scam they have going here (I know that's an oxymoron)... it truly sounds as if they are helping companies with the trademark issues that are so prevalent in Asia.

Dear sir,

Thanks for your reply which makes it clear that the alleged Saibo Invest Co,.Ltd is not your business partner in China. Our technology department has now frozen the domain as preservation.

But noted that the domain is different from trademark, the trademark is sole and belong to only company or individual who registered it firstly. the domain registration is basically following the principle that who register first who get first.

As an authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we insist of offering priority to trademark owners.

but our party afraid that if this company is truly a notorious domain grabber, the moment we refused them they will turn to other domain registration organizations.

So we suggest you register these domains as protection as well as generating more business.

below are the domains Saibo applied to us.

www. northborder.asia

www. northborder.cn

www. northborder.com.cn

And the internet keyword

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you, thank you.

Furthermore, if any lawsuit or dispute on domain issue happened in the future,

We can be of assiatance as a anti-cybersquatting organization.

looking forward to your prompt response.

Kindest regards to you and your esteemed company.

Got the scam also ... Unfortunately I responded to the first email, but now I am getting even with them. They sent over contract and I said it was too much money, and now they tell me they will drop the price.

After we agree on a price, I'll tell them to redo the quote, but it has to be in Dutch, and then I'll tell them they have to fax a signed copy of quote.

Maybe they'll hang on a bit longer so I can tell them to send me 2 signed originals via FedX so I can send it to them with my credit card or wire transfer.

ANyway, thank's for the heads up, it looked legit and I did waste time shopping out .CN domain names and even browsing the scammers site.

Betreff: techni-coat, domain name registration con firmation request

Dear Sir/Madam ,

We received a formal application from a company who is called Meiao Co.,Ltd (Http://www.meiaoinv.cn) are applying to register " techni-coat "as their domain name and Internet keyword in China and also in Asia on June 2, 2008. During our auditing procedure we find out that the alleged Meiao Co.,Ltd has no trade mark, brand nor patent even similar to that word. As authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we hereby suspect the alleged Meiao Co.,Ltd to be a domain grabber. Hence w e need you confirmation for two things, First of all, whether this alleged Meiao Co.,Ltd is your business partner or distributor in China.

Secondly, whether you are interested in registering these domains. (The alleged Meiao Co.,Ltd will be entitled to obtain a domain not needed by original trademark owner.)

If you are not in charge of this please transfer this email to appropriate dept.

This is a letter for confirmation. If the mentioned third party is your business partner or distributor in china please DO NOT reply. We will automatically confirm application from your business partner after this audit procedure.
