Thread: Cyber Squatting?

I got this email today and was wondering if anyone knew about such things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Sir

We received a formal application from a company who is called Saibo Investment Co.,Ltd is applying to register " keepsakerosaries" as their domain name in Asia as well as in Europe on August 13, 2008. During our auditing procedure we find out that the alleged Saibo Investment Co.,Ltd has no trade mark, brand nor patent even similar to that word. As an authorized anti-cyber squatting organization we hereby suspect the alleged Saibo Investment Co.,Ltd to be a domain grabber. Hence we need your confirmation for two things, `

First of all, whether this alleged Saibo Investment Co.,Ltd is your business partner or distributor in China.

Secondly, whether you are interested in registering these domains (The alleged Saibo Investment Co.,Ltd 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.

This is a letter for confirmation. If the mentioned third party is your business partner or distributor in China please DO NOT reply. We will automatically confirm application from your business partner after this audit procedure.

Best Wishes

David.Ye

I guess they are trying to get me to by my address but w/ .info .net .mobi etc. from what i just read it's sort of a shake down.

I've never received one like it.
If I did, I'd hit the delete key and be done with it.

Sounds like a good idea!

smells fishy to me!

Delete is what I'd do

Delete or Ignore. Either is good.

It's a phishing scam. Don't bother answering...

Delete it

I've gotten something like this before.. its a scam.

I believe I received something similar a little while back. I just deleted it, nothing bad came of it.

Scam. Plain and simple. Not a bad idea to do a whois on international versions of your domain or company name on your own though. In other words, you don't need them to investigate things yourself.

scam!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah this sounds like a scam to me. Send it to 419eater.com.
