domain name registration scam "Shanghai ChuK Network Information Technology Co., Ltd"

II got the following scam email for one of the domains I manage. This was sent
to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] which you can only
get by crawling the web site as it does not appear anywhere else.
I think there is a US law against someone trying to register your domain name
when it is an obvious scam. Anyone else getting
emails like this? I have the original header and all the information about the
email. Is there a place to file a complaint?

This message would have been entertaining if all it did was alert me to the fact that there exists in China a place called “Shanghai Withub White-Cat Science Park”, but it also provided some wonderful nostalgia.
There is, of course, very probably no actual company trying to register dansdata.cn. Even if there were, I wouldn’t care; I don’t need to cover every possible variation of my domain name, since everybody knows where Dan’s Data is already and dansdata.cn wouldn’t fool anybody unless it copied all of my content. Which you could do just as easily with some other domain.
This is a scam, and an old and hoary one. The FTC’s been shutting down similar scammers in the States since at least 2001. In the olden days, they at least sent you a paper invoice; what’s up with this cheapskate e-mail crap?
Even if I did want to register .cn names, there are plenty of places to do that which’re certain to be better than the awfully official-sounding “SQL Network Information Technology” govnic.org.cn site. I note that govnic.org.cn doesn’t even tell you what it’ll cost to register a domain. The going rate for non-Chinese is actually less than $US30 for a year - and Chinese citizens can apparently register domains for one yuan!.
The SQL Etcetera site is also a rich fount of Chinglish, including some magnificently incomprehensible press releases.
The only other mention I can find for SQL on the Web (this SQL, not the real SQL) is on this Indonesian site, where they apparently filled out the Web complaint form with a copy of the come-on they sent to me.
Update: Here’s a mention of them from a few years ago, when they were calling themselves “Shanghai Squile Network Information & Technology Co., Ltd”.
“Squile“?
WTF?
I’d think about this more, but it’s making my brain hurt.

The domain name registration scam
I just got an email from my colleague in Beijing who was a bit in a panic, because he got an email claiming that somebody else was claiming domain names that trademark would be very important for us in the future. Since I have seen passing by this scam already four, five times, I could tell him this was a fake-company trying to earn some money for registering domain names. Here is a link to some additional funny stories.
The email refers to all kind of non-existing government departments (govnic, the development center of the state commission office for public sector reform in Shanghai) and it is of course very urgent. It was very hard to convince my colleague.
Now we have registered them ourselves. A few minutes time for three domain names we claimed them for one year. Costs: one Renminbi per domain name, per year. Even when the extensions of domain names expand again next your, you should be able to pay for that.
I repeat this rather marginal "trademark infringement" scam here, so other who scan the internet might have an easier time to discover this is a very old trick.

I am an registrar censor in China, I hate to agree that there are so many bad behavior registrars in China deploying scam strategy. I hereby attach the latest news from CNNIC and HKZC news center for you as below.
CNNIC exposed scammer registrar
For the sake of protecting users’ rights and interests, improving users’ experience, fostering continuable development of the industry, Chinese registration service providers of Internet Address resources signed Industrial Self Regulation Memorandum for Registration Service Providers of Internet Address resources in 24th July, 2007 and started to provide their services in a self regulated manner. The number of signed entities has exceeded 230 covering 31 provinces, cities and municipal regions by now.
