Subject: Notice of "dansdata".asia Domain Name

Dear Manager,

We received a formal application on intending to register "dansdata" as their domain name and Internet brand in China and also in Asia from an investment company on Oct.14th,2008. During our audit period, we find that this Investment company has no trade mark, brand or patent. As a professional institution of domain name registration, we have reasons to suspect this investment company to be a domain name grabber. Therefore, we need your confirmation on two points as follows.
First of all, whether this investment company is your business partner or distributor in China?
Secondly, whether you also need these domain names? (According to the rules of domain name registration, the investment company will be entitled to obtain a domain name but not need the permission from the original trademark owner.)
If you are not in charge of this issue, please transfer this email to the right department.
This is a letter for confirmation. If the mentioned third party is your business partner or distributor in China or in Asia, please DO NOT reply. We will automatically think that this application was from your business partner after our audit period.

Best regards

Linda

Dear Daniel Rutter,
This is Beijing Erimat Network Information Technology Co., Ltd, domain name registrant in China. A formal application dated on May 5th from one company called Guangyuan Investment (China) Co., Ltd requested "dansdata" as their Chinese top-level domain name(.cn/.hk.tw) and internet keyword. Due to the possibility of involving your company name or trade mark, we bring this into your attention immediately in view of your priority and IPR according to the registration procedure. Please contact us for protective prior registration of those domains or learning more about it.

Kind Regards

(Oh, and "Internet brand keyword" is a string which appears to only exist because of these scam mails.)

Dear CEO,

We are the domain name registration organization in China, which mainly deal with international company's in china. We have something important need to confirm with your company.
On the Nov.13, 2007, we received an application formally. One company named "Secondment International Holdings Ltd" wanted to register following Domain names:

cisco.org.cn
cisco.com.hk
cisco.hk
cisco.cc
cisco.tw
cisco.com.tw
Internet brand keyword:
cisco
through our body.

After our initial examination, we found that the keywords and domain names applied for registration are asa same s your company's name and trademark. These days we are dealing with it. If you do not know this company, we doubt that they have other aims to buy these domain names. Now we have not finished the registration of Secondment company yet, in order to deal with this issue better, Please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible.
