Domain registration scam in China

Various companies in China are trying to scare domain owners in other countries into registering Chinese variants of their domain names by claiming some other party was trying to register these variants. Examples of this scam have been reported widely throughout 2008, involving the domains asiaton.cn, erimut.com, erimart.com, erimart-domains.com.cn, hknsc.hk, hongkongnet.org, hk-net.org.cn, hknetwork.hk.cn and others (erimut.com, erimart.com, erimart-domains.com.cn and hknsc.hk are linked by IP address).

Here is one that I received on 2008-12-08, originating from IP 58.38.209.249:

Dear CEO,

We are Asiaton Network Service Co., Ltd, which is the Internet Trademark&domain name register center in China. I have something need to confirm with you. We have received an formal application. An international company named “ROB GmbH” wants to apply “joewein” for its own Internet Trademark and CN domain name on Dec 8, 2008 in china. We need to know your opinion because the Internet Trademark And CN domain name may relate to the copyright of your company name on internet. If your company do not intervene in it,we will formally consent their registration
because the registration principle is that “Every company or individual can register the domain name and Internet Trademark which is not registered,and who registers first who owns first.”
we would like to get the affirmation of your company. If you have any question,please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible!

Best Regards !

Such email solicitations are fraudulent, because you can safely assume that the same email, with other domains substituted for yours, has gone out to thousands of domain owners. I found an almost identical email (listing the same third party supposedly trying to register a domain) in another blog. Somebody obviously thinks being a registrar is a license to milk foreigners.

Don’t fall for this scam, they’re playing on fear.

If you own a .com, .net or national TLD (.co.uk, de., .fr, etc) domain but are not planning to set up a Chinese office or not even doing any business in China you have no reason to spend money on a domain registration with a Chinese registrar. Also, trademarks and domains are largely separate issues. You don’t become a trademark owner merely by registering a domain and vice versa.

The only domains that really count for your business are .com/.net/.org (depending on the nature of your organisation) and/or the country code top level domain (ccTLD, such as .co.uk or .jp) if you’re based outside the USA.

Below are other examples of domain registration spams / scams that I have received before. I am sure there are a lot more out there.

  6. Lorna,
    if they say they’re contacting you because some third party is trying to register some Asian domains that you own a .com/.net/.org/.ccTLD version of then it’s a scam, no need for futher checking. Real registrars don’t hold a registration to check with owners of similar domain names in different top level domains. They take the registration fee and register the domain.

  15. Hello

    I received a similar mail indicating “Peek Investment Ltd” wants to register some domains.

    I forwarded the messages to the CNNIC. Here is their reply (where they indicate “we will record the information and forward to some in charge, in order to monitor domain name market better”):

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    Thanks for your letter.

    Different organizations are in charge of domain with different ending. CNNIC is the national registry for .CN Domain Name. The domain names ending with “.asia” etc. and Net Brand are out of our charge. As we know, if the Net Brand was no suffix at the ending, it could be Internet Keyword, it is administrated by Knet Company, we suggest you to contact Knet Company to learn about Internet Keyword. Their contact information is as following:
    Website: http://www.knet.cn
    Email address: service@knet.cn, supervise@knet.cn
    Telephone: +86-10-58813333.

    As CNNIC do not face to end users, CNNIC accredited registrars are responsible for providing registration service. We confirm that http://www.dish-china.org is not one of our accredited registrars, and is not a reseller of .CN domain name under registrar level. Thank you for letting us know about it, as a member of Self Discipline Pact who monitors and administrates the .CN domain name, we will record the information and forward to some in charge, in order to monitor domain name market better.

    Different applicant may have different understanding for the same word. Thus, there are possibilities that other customers are interested in these words, and are willing to register “ynamics.cn” “ynamics.com.cn” “ynamicsnet.cn” and “ynamics.org.cn”. In order to avoid this happening, we suggest you registering them in the purpose of using and protection. Otherwise, the name list of CNNIC accredited Domain Name registrars can be found at:
    CNNIC Accredited CN Oversea Registrars: http://www1.cnnic.cn/html/Dir/2007/06/25/4671.htm
    CNNIC Accredited CN Domestic Registrars: http://www1.cnnic.cn/html/Dir/2007/06/05/4635.htm

    Both overseas applicants and domestic applicants need to submit application materials when making the online application to the registrar. Normally, the application material includes: card of organization construction code or business license, Identity card of contact person. All above documents should be issued by Chinese government. If you want to register .CN domain name, but unable to submit the required documents above, you could register domain name in name of your branch or subsidiary in China.

    Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.

    Your sincerely,

    Importance: High

    Dear Principal,

    We are domain name register center in ASIA, We have something important need to confirm through your company.

    We received a formal application from a company called “Carnelian Investment Company” applying to register

    Domain names:

    «COMPANY-NAME».info
    «COMPANY-NAME».asia
    «COMPANY-NAME».net.cn
    «COMPANY-NAME».org.cn
    «COMPANY-NAME».tw
    «COMPANY-NAME».hk
    «COMPANY-NAME».in

    Internet brand name:

    «COMPANY-NAME»

    In China and also in Asia on July 7 2008.
    During our auditing procedure we find out that the alleged “Carnelian Investment Company” has no trade mark, Intellectual property, nor patent even similar to that word. As authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we hereby suspect the alleged “Carnelian Investment Company” to be a domain grabber. Hence we need you confirmation for two things.

    First of all, whether this alleged “Carnelian Investment Company” is your business partner or distributor in ASIA.

    Secondly, whether you are interested in registering these domains. (The alleged “Carnelian Investment Company” will be entitled to obtain a domain not needed by original trademark owner.)

    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 someone who is responsible for trademark or domain name contact me as soon as possible.

    Best Regards,

    Steven

  44. We just had the same thing! Same email as the others have had…..the ONLY way we caught them out was because they wrote to us about one of our domains, and we said, ‘yes’ to registering it so that it could not be taken from us in another country, but when the form was sent through to me to fill out, it was in the name of another of our domains…..got fishy, investigated and found this forum.

    LUCKY!!
