Domain Scams
Posted Jun 15, 2010
If you own a domain name for your own website, you'll probably receive a certain amount of phishing, spam, and scam email.
Here's one that's making the rounds, and is a variation of the 'Imaginary Competitor' scam --
A typical one reads:
"
Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your confirmation. if it is the case, I should declare following on behalf of our company:
As soon as receiving the application of Kaan Company, we checked and found "xxxxxxxxx" is your company's using name and brand. that's why we sent email to you. we don't hope the domains will be registered without your awareness. but you should know that the domain names registration is open in the world, Kaan Company also has the right to apply for the available domain names. you only own the preferential rights to register them.
If you think Kaan Company application will effect your benefit, we can help your company dispute their application and then register them under your own name. pls let us know soon, or else we think it as your waiver. In that time we don't bear any responsibility, Because we had informed you.
have a nice day.
Best Regards,
Thomas Xu
