My Company' Name

Domain name & Internet keyword

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are Hong Kong Network Service Company Limited which is the domain name register center in China. We received a formal application from a company who is applying to register ” My Company's Name ” as their domain name and Internet keyword on Jan 11, 2009.Since after our investigation we found that this word has been in use by your company, and this may involve your company name or trade mark, so we inform you in no time. If you consider these domain names and internet keyword are important to you and it is necessary to protect them by registering them first, contact us soon. Thanks for your co-operation and support.

Kind Regards,


So what do you all think?

If you think they'd be useful to you register them with another company as it's not expensive.

It's probably a con as I doubt that any domain registration application prompts a worldwide search to find anyone else with an interest in the domain name.

Off course its a con. There is no other interested company or they would have sold it.

Blatantly just trying to get you to register a domain, under the illusion that if you don't, someone else will get it.

My missus got one exactly the same as that at work last week. Told her to ignore it. It's spam/con.
