thanks for bloging this - very useful. just got the same email from michael@domaininasia.net

STOP FOOLING PEOPLE !!!!

STOP FOOLING !!

STOP !!

Very useful indeed. Seems like domaininasia.net is racing for survival, or at least their sales pitch is not very honest. We’ve just received a similar mail for our .asia and .hk domain names from hebe.chen@domaininasia.net

I think I have just unmasked the scammers. As foolish as they were, they replied to this post (probably because it was coming high while googling for their company name), as Tom Cao (tom.cao@domaininasia.org) and Dina Wang (DiNa@netinchina.hk). On purpose I have approved some of their comments in this thread. Their IP has been logged and IS THE SAME, 59.181.107.170.

Now the most interesting part. I have done a reverse look up on this IP address using this IP address locator and it seems that the emails were sent from…MUMBAI, INDIA

Once again be very careful when dealing with this scammers! Make sure to inform people at risk not to fall for this.

Now, to “Tom Cao” and “Dina Wang”, if you guys (probably the same person though) are back again to this thread, how can you explain:
1-That emails from both domains and pretendedly different firms were sent from the same IP?
2- How come your IP address shows that you are in India while you pretend being HK/Chinese companies?
3-How do you explain that your website is less than a week old and however try to pose as an “established company”?

*No no no! we are an honest company! we don’t want to screw you…*

Well…
Same case here. They wrote our company using hebe.chen@domaininasia.net address.

Sigh… again bad business practises via the Internet.

We just got the same scam from “Steve Hua” of “MP-China.org.cn” and “Shanghai MP Network Solutions Co., Ltd.”

A brief postscript to my earlier post: If you want to know if someone posing as a DN registrar is legitimate, go to http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html

Just received the same email from lance.chen@domaininasia.org

Just one more.

Thanks to Kodjo for commenting on our blog where we had posted about this for a second time. http://www.rentaspider.com/2008/01/domain-name-adds-supplemental-notes.html

It may be that the scammers are in India, or as I responded they may only be trying to appear that they are in India. In either case a Chinese registrar is involved and so we will continue to call this a “Chinese scam” until the facts can be known. Frankly, I was surprised that something like this COULD be from China, but there are criminals everywhere, arn’t there…? I am subscribing to be notified of futher comments posted here and will update my blog as needed when the scam is ended and the scammers locked up. It is good they are reading the messages here, so they can start to understand what they are doing is dishonest and wrong!

And thanks for the tip about the address for service @ cnnic.cn. I have forwarded them the message with the headers so they can take action.

And another one trying to hit Australian companies. Looks like Mr Feng has a few relatives in the same industry.

Dear Lance,

Sorry to trouble you! I am Winnie. We had discussed the case about your company’s domain names. We did not receive your reply until now. Now it will come to the auditing period,If so, we will think you have given up these domain names. So we will help Nanstart company register these domain names after 2 workdays. Nanstart company will become the legal owner of these domain names in the world. We had notified you, so we are not responsible for any dispute questions about intellectual property right and trade mark after they succeed in registration. If you would like to register by yourselves, pls contact us within 2 workdays.

Best Regards,

Winnie

Exactly the same jibberish as reported by other people

At least now I have nothing to worry about.

Now they are attempting to threaten with legal action when I ignored their emails…

Dear Jason,

we have already finished the registration for you, but now you don’t want to pay,I feel very angry. We have dealt with lots of clients like you and never worry about this. I have forwarded this matter to our legal department, you will receive the court summons soon. We will use the application form with your signature and the conversations to prosecute. I think the prosecute costs won’t be less than the registration fees. What’s more, we will put our action on Google and will screen your asia market to let all of the world people know your company. at the same time, we are selling these domains on the website http://www.domainpricing.com.I believe there must be many people would like to pay for these domains.

Our company just got one of these. This the third one we’ve received this year. Names are always different but goal seems to be the same, scamming you out of money.

We received a formal application from a company who is called Meiao Investment Co.,Ltd are applying to register “XXXXX” as their domain name and Internet keyword in China and also in Asia on Aug 08 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 you 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.

I got one from “Brent Lee” as well and have grabbed a couple of the domains he listed from GoDaddy (.net, .org). I fell for it initially - thanks for putting this information out there. I was planning to call my attorney tomorrow - I really thought this was legit.

I have recently received e-mails from someone calling himself Brent, whose e-mail addresses are Brent@asiadnr.org.cn and brent@westnet.hk.cn. The wording of the initial e-mail was IDENTICAL to that of e-mails cited elsewhere in this stream, except for the different company and domain names. I asked for further information and received a price list that would have cost me nearly $2,000 to lock up the dozen or so domain names mentioned. Following this, “Brent” has sent me a half-dozen e-mails asking me to confirm receipt and to let him know when I would send the completed application form and payment back to him, and this morning he called me, ostensibly from Hong Kong, asking me when he could expect my response. This is clearly a scam, far more modest in scope than the Nigerian 419 advance fee frauds, but as seems to be characteristic of Chinese businesses they sell relatively cheap and make money on the volume. If I get another one of these I plan to write back saying I am the nephew of a deposed African dictator requiring help getting $20 million out of my country in exchange for which I will give him 1/3 of the proceeds.

This is one we received at work which we almost acted on before I decided to have a look online

On the Sep 1, 2008, we received an application formally. One company named “Gestppy Investment Co., Ltd “wanted to register following
Domain names:

Internet brand name:
Webro
Through our company.
After our initial auditing, we find that the Internet brand name and domain names applied for registration are as same as your company’s name and brand name, and they haven’t filled in the detailed information on the application, so we need to send you an email to confirm whether you have relation with this company. If you do not know this company, we suspect such company wants to do some cybersquatting. Now we have not finished the registration of “Gestppy Investment Co., Ltd” yet, In order to deal with this issue better, please contact us ASAP.

After we received the application from YU-Online (Hongkong) Company, we checked that “redcart” is your company’s trademark. That’s why we sent email to you.

The following domain names are applied by YU-Online (Hongkong):

[1] DOMAIN NAME

l ********.cn / ********.com.cn / ********.org.cn / ********.net.cn

l ********.hk / ********.com.hk

l ********.asia

[2] INTERNET BRAND NAME (INTERNET KEYWORD):

l ********

[3] CHINESE DOMAIN NAME:

l ********

[4] WIRELESS WEBSITE:

l ********

Please note the following information:

“.cn” “.com.cn” “.net.cn” and “.org.cn” are top level domain names in China. “.com” “.net” “.biz” and “.info” are International top level domain names.

Internet brand name is one of domain names, which has no prefix “www.” and no suffix “.com”. It is the extension of real world’s brand on the web. After succeed in registration, these domain names will be authorized and ruled by official organization. Meanwhile, electronic register certificates will be awarded to the registrant from official organization to protect their ownership of these domains.

You must know that every party have right to register any domain name without authorization. Domain name takes open registration. This is international domain name register principle. For example, google.com.cn & google.cn had been registered by other company. And Google had to pay 1 million dollars to get these two domains back.

According to the rule, YU-Online (Hongkong) company allowed to register these domain names. But your company has the priority to register these domain names. So we sent an email to inform your company to remind you. If you don’t want these domain names to be used by YU-Online (Hongkong) company, you need register them in your own name. If you don’t need these domain names, we have to register them for YU-Online company.

Please let us know what’s your decision of this matter, and what further assistance we can offer you .

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
