This is just a begining. Our Censor team, HKZC and CNNIC will keep this list updated. There are still much to do and we will work harder
Can I have the source or confirmation that CNNIC has authorized HKZC to act as the censor? From what I know only CNNIC is the sole authority.
No, CNNIC did not "outsourcing" HKZC. You have to be adviced in Chinese law, domains are considered independent form Intellectual Property Rights and Chinese Governor can do nothing about these cybersquatting and domain-grabbing at present without relevant law nor regulation support. What make bad worse, inorder to make Chinese Domain register excess German to achieve first in the world, for a low fee everybody can get whatever.cn domain he or she ordered(I know how ridiculous it sounds). In one word, domain grabbing is popular in China. Some domain reseller are just fine. They only put their domain on Parking pages while the others don't. Somebody cloned a website and do scam and spam which obviously bluster CNNIC and Governors into anger. Legislatures are required to build laws and regulations but it will take years. In order to suppress cybersquatting during this censor-vacuum period, HKZC are found by leading registrars in China as nonprofit organization investgating suspect applications and offer regain service and dispute solutions if cybersquat has done. So generally speaking HKZC can only offer assistance to CNNIC and other Government Bureaus. They don't have any actual outsourcing because CNNIC can not give one without any law support. HKZC even have to make money from building Chinese Character websites, hosting and email service to keep itself running. This is the sad part of it.
Here's an interesting one I just got. It claims to be from Beijing HKZC. Any relation? Same scam. Different name. Check out the newly added Confidentiality Statement at the end. I guess it's illegal to report this scam with that attached.
This organization is a auditing organization! It is their job to confirm the legitimacy of applications. You can not call it scam just because other illegal registrars imitate their email. You shall never blame Carrie Underwood when somebody sings really badBefore He Cheats , shall you? This HKZC exposed that many scammer registrars. It is normal they have some enemies who want to ruin their reputation. Maybe this is a nice try if you know what I mean. All in all, this organization is non-profit. What are their scam for? Eyeballs? Please advise.
Having mentioned HKZC is the only Anti-Cybersquatting Organization in China, we seriously concern some registrars’ fraud under our name. According our clients feedback a HA ZD Network Science and Technology Co,.Ltd is keeping sending spam exactly the same as HKZC confirmation request email. This likeness is beyond coincidence we can believe. HKZC now officially confirm that HA ZD Network have nothing to do with HKZC Network Science and Technology Co,.Ltd and they have no right to represent or acting as agent of HKZC. We have reasons to believe HA ZD hacked data base of China Registry and may contact you with unsolicited emails. HKZC lawyers team and local police are collecting evidences to raise accuse on this HA ZD for racketeering. If you can forward the email received from HA ZD, we will be appreciated. Cooperating with CNNIC and local police, HKZC is confident to defeat any tortuous purposes or actions including but not limited to this fraud conducted by this whatsoever HA ZD Network Science and Technology Co,.Ltd. Thanks to one of our protection service applicant, we successfully collected a email sample form HA ZD is as below, Greetings: The afore mentioned company, XXXX Investment Co., Ltd, is not a business partner of this company; GXXXXXXXr, LLC Currently, I am in contact and working with Arrow Wang to register and secure these domain names for GXXXXXXXr, LLC Thank you for contacting me regarding this matter.

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 “.comâ€, but also “.net.cn†“.org.cn†“.com.cn†and the list just goes on and on. And before you go scoffing, this is a *really serious* problem. It’s not really too surprising we are experiencing a campaign of spam from bad behavior registrars in China and Hongkong. But these emails, pretending to be acting in your favor, are nothing but lies and just a way for these companies to generate more business. They contact you on the pretence that a phantom company or individual 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 not quite a scam, but it’s dodgy, unsolicited, and the outright lies from these companies. HKZC should encourage you to never do business with them. Here are the websites in short form that shouldn’t be trusted. HC@cnnic.cn and HC@bjhknet.cn collect them worldwide and HKZC's law force will follow up and hunt them down.If you have any more of these I'd really like to know. http://www.aisiji.com.cn http://www.anble.com http://www.anwis.cn http://www.asiaao.cn http://www.asiaao.com http://www.asiadm.org http://www.asiadnr.net http://www.asiadnr.org http://www.asiaip.org http://www.asianetwork.ws http://www.asianetworkonline.com http://www.asiaregistrar.org http://www.branddomain.cn http://www.china-net.hk http://www.china-net.hk.cn http://www.china-reg.com.cn http://www.chinasps.net.cn http://www.chinasps.org.cn http://www.chuk.com.cn http://www.cnirc.hk http://www.cnnetcom.org.cn http://www.dnrnic.net http://www.domainaudit.org.cn http://www.domaininasia.com http://www.domaininasia.org http://www.enwis.cn http://www.erimut.com http://www.europatech.com.cn http://www.fexon.hk http://www.gomerit.com.cn http://www.govisp.cn http://www.govnic.org.cn http://www.ha-zd.com http://www.hkstareast.com http://www.hkstareast.net http://www.idcasia.net http://www.idci.org.cn http://www.inveis.com http://www.inveis.com.cn http://www.inwis.cn http://www.lailiisp.com.cn http://www.mergov.cn http://www.net-chinese.net http://www.netinasia.com http://www.netinchina.hk http://www.netinchina.org.cn http://www.nicgov.cn http://www.onvis.com.cn http://www.shanghainetnic.org.cn http://www.shanghainic.org.cn http://www.shnetnic.cn http://www.shundajishu.com.cn http://www.shundajishu.net.cn http://www.shundakeji.net http://www.squil.cn http://www.squil.com.cn http://www.star-east.hk http://www.tian-zi.com http://www.ujane.cn http://www.ujanegroup.cn http://www.virtualoffice.org.cn http://www.worldregistry.com.cn http://www.wvon.com.cn http://www.xanadu.net.cn http://www.ytym.org http://www.yunkao.cn http://www.star-east.hk Collected by HKZC (NON-profit anti-cybersquatting organization) Dear CEO, We are the domain name registration organization in Asia, which mainly deal with international company's in Asia.

Incidentally, if you converse with them, you get something akin to the following: 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. Jerry === Followed by: Dear Kevin Littlejohn, I think you do not understand the situation. what only I can do now is provide a google example to you, pls see the attachment. After you understand this issue, you also do not register by yourselves, we only can register for Karl Fischer. Then you can do whatever legal action to Karl Fischer. Best regards. Danny ===

Personal favorite: on Wed, 2008-05-07 01:58. 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. (CNNIC monitor) and (HKZC MD) Reply: Sometimes these lovely spammer LAO, too. That shall be the best part of my job.
