Why the fortune cookie?
I made this image to go with my post because I want to help you build and maintain your company “fortune”. One way I plan to do that is to alert you when I hear of a scam.
As mentioned in my last post about domain names coming up for renewal, there are scam artists out there that want to get your hard earned money.
The latest one comes from a company called China Net Technology Limited. They are sending out emails to companies in an attempt to get them to register every domain name under the sun at a higher rate than you should pay.
One of my clients received this message today:
Dear Manager,
We are China Net Technology Limited, which is the domain name register center in China. I am very sorry to bother you and have something need to confirm with you.
we have received an application formally, one company named MieDac Holdings Limited applies for the domain names(.c .com.cn.info.asia.biz.hk etc.) and the Internet Brand Name( ) on the internet Mar 3. 2008. We need to know the opinion of your company, because the domain names and keywords may relate to the usufruct of brand name on internet.
we would like to get the affirmation of your company,please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible. Please let someone in your company who is responsible for trademark or intellectual right contact me freely.
Please confirm you have received my mail. Thank you!
Warm Regards,
Air.yi

China Net Technology Limited.

Fortunately, my client had the good sense to forward the email to me to review. (I removed his domain name from the email for his privacy.) In addition to the numerous spelling and grammar errors above, I also Google’d the company and found many other posts on the Internet of people they are trying to scam.
In the future if you should receive any type of questionable mail regarding your domain name, run it past your webmaster or hosting company - or if you are one of my clients, feel free to contact me to make sure you aren’t getting scammed too.
