I received this email today and would like to know if anyone here has received anything like it and how or did they reply?


Dear Sir/Madam.,
We received a formal application from a company who is called Meiao Co.,Ltd (www.meiaoinv.cn) are applying to register " name-of-one-of-my-domains " as their domain name and Internet keyword in China and also in Asia on Nov 18, 2008. During our auditing procedure we find out that the alleged Meiao Co.,Ltd has no trade mark, brand nor patent even similar to that word. As authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we hereby suspect the alleged Meiao Co.,Ltd to be a domain grabber. Hence we need you confirmation for two things, First of all, whether this alleged Meiao Co.,Ltd is your business partner or distributor in China.
Secondly, whether you are interested in registering these domains. (The alleged Meiao 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.

Yes, I get them all the time here at work. It's spam sent out to try and get you to buy the domain name through them to "prevent" the other person from taking it. Best advice I can tell you is to ignore it, unless you are truly worried about your domain name with .asia. In that case I would talk with your current domain registration company about it, not the ones from the email.

Hope this helps

It's a scam. Nothing more than a feeble attempt to goad you into registering a .cn domain name so they can make a few bucks.

Nothing at all to worry about. They'll try a few times before they forget about you. The last time they emailed me, I actually replied and told them to go right ahead and register whatever they want. Problem solved.

Do a Google search using the company name "WWW DOMAINBOX GROUP CO.LTD" and see for yourself:

Thank you both on the quick reply.
this is the first one I have received and was not sure what it was all about.


Dubbya I will take your word for it as you have not steered me wrong yet.

Hi amxfan

I shall also chip in here and say that all this will leave you with is a lot of worthless Asian domain names (unless you want to trade there of course) and very out of pocket.

Put it this way if some main corporation was so uptight about using a particular domain name, surely you'd hear from their lawyer and not the said domain name company?

I get those and others saying i won the UK lottery or Egypt lottery. I get more than 300 spam emails a day.

Ditto! There are lots of spammers and scammers online and the worst step you can undertake is to reply to them. Replying to their emails simply indicate that your email is active (being checked regularly by someone whose actively online). This makes them all the more persistent if you replied. Just ignore it, or hit the 'Report as Spam.' button on your email if you have one. These guys are actually scamming you into buying a domain name with them.

US green card lottery is old trick and "authorized anti-cybersquatting organization"is something newer then that.

Great 'organization"
