Chinese Domain Name and Trademark Fraud Continues Unpunished
We have been reporting on the domain name and trademark scam for several months now and have even contacted APNIC about it, yet it still continues. The scam involves some form of the email below that alerts a company that someone is trying to register a trademark and/or domain names with your company name or trademark. The intent is to cause uncertainty and fear so that you register them with the company that is contacting you first.
What you need to know is that this is a COMPLETE SCAM run by liars. They have not been contacted by anyone. And even if you were worried about such things (and there are ways to protect yourself and regain trademarked domains) you would not want to do so with a Chinese company that HAS TO LIE TO GET YOUR BUSINESS. In addition, the fees they charge ARE EXCESSIVE!!! It is just pure greed that is driving this scam like so many others.
Do NOT contact these people unless you want to yell at them for being such jerks. If everyone did that they MIGHT get the message. And tell others about this scam if you get a chance. If this message helps you, please post a comment or email us at webmaster1 at this domain and we'll post if for you.

Dear CEO,
We are a domain name registrar centre in HongKong.and in charge of the registeration in Asia.We have something important need to confirm with your company.
On the December 10,2008, we received an application formally from M-Victor Corp who applied for the Internet trademark:
"nielsentech " and some domain names relevant to this trademark from our organization.
During our auditing procedure we find out that the M-Victor Corp has no trade mark, Intellectual property, nor patent even similar to that word.we have the duty to inform you this matter. If you do not know this company, we doubt that they have other aims to buy these domain names. Now we have not finished the registration of M-Victor Corp yet, in order to deal with this issue better, please let someone who is responsible for trademark or domain name contact me as soon as possible.
(PS:If you are not in charge of this matter,please transfer this email to appropriate dept.)
Best Regards,
Jerry.Lee
Auditing Chairman
