Dear Principal,

We are an organization specified at dealing with domain name dispute and registration in Asia. We have something important on intellectual property right need to confirm with your company.

Today we received a formal application from a company called Menvon Investment Ltd, who applied to register “xxxxxxxx” as their domain name in some countries and internet keyword. During our preliminary investigation, we found that these domain names’ keyword is identical with your trademark. I wonder whether you consigned Menvon Investment Ltd to register these domain names with us? Or is Menvon Investment Ltd your business partner or distributor in Asia?

Currently, we have already postponed this application of this company temporarily. Therefore please let the relevant person make a confirmation with me by telephone or email ASAP.

Best Regards
Henry Luo
Auditing Department(HK Office)

Of course I initially panicked, but as good practise I always check up to see if I can find a site for that company. If I can’t find a site I search the extension of email addresses. Which I obviously have, and it’s led me to this blog.

Couldn’t have been happier when I found this blog to confirm my suspicions.

In saying that, it is a pretty good scam and it does lead me to wonder how many people fall for this kind of thing.

What to do?
