My Domain Being Registered as Trademark by others????

    I got an email from a trademark company informing me that someone from either china or asia is registering like 10 domains that match mine exactly but with different extensions, and they are trying to register my exact domain (minus the .NET) as their trademark...

    I been working on my site for over 8 years and I do not want to lose it..

    If this does infact go through, can I lose my site?? What can I do to combat this?

    Please help

    It's a scam that has been going around for sometime. Just ignore it.

    Ignore that e-mail.
    Someone is trying to buy a cheap domain.

    Let them go to court!
