Don’t Register Overpriced Domain Names that you don’t need.
Ulistic has received a number of calls and emails lately from our clients asking us about an email they are receiving about ASIA and CHINESE domain names. They are wondering how they should respond to this email they have received. Simple answer, just delete it and forget about it.
The email claims to be from Chinese domain registration firms asserting that there is a potential conflict with your brand name or trademark. Again, this is a SCAM and needs to be deleted immediately. These firms want to have you register asian domain names (like yourbusiness.cn or yourbusiness.asia) which you don’t need to worry about and you don’t need PERIOD!
Here is what the SCAM letter looks like;
Dear Manager:

The objective of the scammer is to have you register these domain names under their registrar account for stupid prices which are extremely overpriced.
