Registrar trademark warning

Corobori · #1 (**permalink**) 06-18-2009, 10:24 AM

I received a message from a HK registrar as shown below. I don't have any trademark rights on the domain they are writing about I just owned the .cl (for Chile) version of that domain name so I don't have much to argue about.
I am just wondering if any of you got a similar message before and did you about it or did you have any issues later on.

Dear Sir or Madam,

We are a domain name registration center in Hong Kong, mainly dealing with domain name registration and internet intellectual property rights protection. On Jun,17, 2009 we received a formal application from a company who is applying to register several domains, using “topchile ”as the Internet keyword. After investigation,we find that you are the original user of the keyword. Such similar domain cases may involve your trademark and company name,and may cause website confusion and conflicts. For a responsible attitude, we inform you here and ask for your opinion. If you don't mind,we will finish registration for the third company.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

Kind Regards,
Henry

Ignore it. It's spam. We've had a similar thread before from another member.

Has anyone received this before???

Ad Rah stated, it is garbage, they just want to part you and your money. Ignore them.

Yes, that is spam only. No need to worry at all. We received multiple similar requests about our domain name, we just ignored them.
