    Hello,

    Today morning I have received an email from Hong Kong domain registrar.
    They said have a client (sounds like chinese company) who wants domain names (I have .com domain)
    like:

    mydomain.cn
    mydomain.com.cn
    mydomain.net.cn
    mydomain.asia
    mydomain.hk
    mydomain.com.hk
    mydomain.jp
    mydomain.tw
    mydomain.com.tw


    They asked if I have any business with that chinese company.
    I replied No. (Never heard about it)

    In second email it is:
    "If you have no relationship with XXXX company, according to our working experience, there are 2 possibilities.
    1.XXXX company is a domain name investment company, whose business is to invest a lot of companies' domain names, they want to register these names before you and sell back to you in the future to gain profits;
    2.It may be a commercial method, XXXX companyis consigned by your competitor to register these domain names, they are trying to replicate your idea and let your customers feel confusion."


    I found interesting post about it

    What do you think?

    If they ask for an appraisal, then it's a scam no doubt!.
