Dear CEO:

We are a domain name registration service company in asia,which mainly deal with international company's domain business in Asia.We have something important to confirm with your company.On 25th November, we received an application formally.One company named "Aoxin Group Investment Co,Ltd" wanted to register "edwardaustin" as internet brand and ".CN/.ASIA" domain names.

During our checking procedure we find out that Aoxin has neither trademark, Intellectual property, nor patent related to this keyword. we find that the keywords and domain names applied for registration are the same as your company's name and trademark. we need you to confirm:
whether Aoxin Group is your business partner or distributor in Asia?

if so, we will complete their registration.These days we are dealing with it.If you are not in charge of this please transfer this email to appropriate dept.In order to deal with this issue better,please let your supervisor for trademark or domain name contact me as soon as possible.
Best Regards

Yup we had that come into our work - total rubbish - some googling at the time found that if you reply they will generously offer you those domains at vastly inflated prices!

Look at the guy's name, it's clearly a hoax. ;)

Fishing to get valid email addresses for further spam purposes. :)

We had one of them too. Basically just targetted domain selling at inflated prices using scare tactics. Luckily our company is not big enough to be bothered if someone has our .com domain name hahaha

I couldn't care less if someone wants any derivation either cos since we merged, the firm's name has changed:D

Its a regular scam that one.
Dont even bother to respond, just spam it in the folder marked cack.

We had a rival company register our company name a few years ago and when we wised up to the internet we sued their ar**s off and got it back in a WIPO case in the European Court. They ended up with nothing, plonkers. Some you win;-)
