Scam Email Domain Name Registration Service Company from China

If you receive an email that looks something similar to this:

Dear Sir/ Ms.

We are a domain name registration service company. Our center received an application from Joan Yang International today. They applied for registration of oehj as their Brand Name and several top-level domain names ( TLDs). But we found the main body of domain names is same as your company name. We’re not sure about your relationship with this company.

Now we are processing this application. Our center needs to confirm whether the application is authorized by your company. If so, we will proceed with their registration. If not, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can deal with the problem in time. We await your prompt reply.

Regards,

This is a scam that has been going around for sometime now and basically they try to sell you domain names you don’t need at an inflated price.
