If you get emails like this, just delete it because it's a scam and you will lose your money. Never consider buying anything that is marketed via SPAM emails like this one.

SCAM: Dispute from domain

I just got this today. I can't tell if it is the same scammers that have been doing this for the past couple of years or if it's a new scam to get people worried that they should be registering worthless domain names in China. If anyone DOES register your trademark as a domain, there are ways that don't cost much that can allow you to take if from them.
 
DON'T fall for scam emails like this. Do some searches and you may find that you have nothing to worry about...!

To whom it may concern:               2010-2-4

We are a domain name registration service organization in Asia,

Recently  we received a formal application submited by  Paul Martin who wanted to use the keyword  "I-DONT-EVEN-OWN-THIS-DOMAIN-NAME"   to  register the Internet Brand and Domain Names with suffix  such as .cn /.com.cn /.net.cn/.hk/ .asia/ .

After our initial examination, we found that these domain names to be applied for registration  are same as your  domain name and trademark. If you think that these domain names to be regisrated would produce possible dispute with you or effect your current businesss, now we hold down his application ,you would  contact us as soon as possible   by Fax ,Telephone or Email  in the next 5 working days., otherwise we have to approve his application to register domain names mentioned above .

PublicDomainRegistry.com: Another Registrar That Cares!

I have been reporting spam for many years. Reporting to the source where the spam is sent from does little or nothing. It's too easy to get another email account or hosting account and start over.

Reporting a site that is advertised in the spam (Spamvertised) can be more effective since when the site is taken down, the spammer loses their revenue stream and any email accounts that are connected to the domain that was hosted. But it's not too hard to get another hosting account and put the same domain there and start up again.

But if you can get their DOMAIN suspended, ahh that's the best because any effort that went into a site or email address for the domain is shut down and the spammer is out of business with that domain.

About two years ago I got a spam and the domain that was being spamvertised was not registered. Strange, but true. I guess the different departments of the spam operation were not on the same page, or someone made a typo when blasting off millions of spam emails. So after debating for minute, I registered the domain. I put up a single page, without ads, explaining what I had done. The domain was registered with Domainsite.com and despite what I posted, they suspended the domain. At the time I had never heard of a registrar doing this, and why me, a non-spammer? I was able to contact them and get the domain un-suspended, but ever since then I have been reporting spam domains to the registrar of the spamvertised domain. Most of the time I hear back that the site is not hosted with them or the email did not originate with them. No matter, I still keep reporting them.

Well TODAY I was pleasantly surprised by an email from PublicDomainRegistry.com:
=================================================
We have received your complaint for SPAM from xxxxxxx.com. We
are extremely strict and proactive with regards to our terms of usage.

Pursuant to our terms of service we have suspended xxxxxxx.com.

We have also sent warnings to the customer, all the contacts and
any associated reseller about this domain.

Thank you for contacting our abuse department.

Regards,
PublicDomainRegistry.com Abuse Team
=================================================
Awesome!

So, if you think reporting spam does not work, cannot work, will not work, and is a complete waste of time, you are wrong.

If everyone that gets spam would just report one spam a day, it would make a serious impact on the overall amount of spam that we all have to put up with. Reporting does not have to be hard, search Google or check

I will pay you $100

I am so sick of getting emails that say I can claim millions if I just do this or pay that. So I have started responding to each one I get with the same message:

I will pay you $100 if you will stop sending me these emails.

Thanks!


Then I send it using a non-functional email address after making sure my email address is not contained in the email or any links.

My hope is that the spammers get excited about this new revenue stream and waste time trying to contact me.

You may think the spammers fools who are only wasting time, but last week I saw an email sent to a lawyer's site where the person was reporting that they actually fell for this and sent off $495 so they could collect their millions due to them. While they may or not also be an idiot, NO ONE deserves to be ripped off.

Project Honey Pot Makes A Difference

-----Original Message-----

Subject: [Project Honey Pot] 1 Billion Spammers Served

On Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at 06:20 (GMT), Project Honey Pot achieved a milestone: receiving its 1 billionth spam message. The billionth message was an United States Internal Revenue Service phishing scam sent to an email address that had been harvested more than two years ago. More than just a single spam email, the billionth message represents the collective work of you and tens of thousands of other web and email administrators like you in more than 170 countries around the world. Together we have built Project Honey Pot into the largest community tracking online fraud and abuse.

To celebrate this milestone, we sifted through five years of data to learn more about spam and the spammers who send it. As a small token of thanks for your help, we wanted to share some of our more interesting preliminary findings. Click the following link for the Full Report:

http://www.projecthoneypot.org/1_billionth_spam_message_stats.php

Highlights include:

- Monday is the busiest day of the week for email spam, Saturday is the   quietest

- 12:00 (GMT) is the busiest hour of the day for spam, 23:00 (GMT) is the   quietest

- Malicious bots have increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of   378% since Project Honey Pot started

- Over the last five years, you'd have been 9 times more likely to get a   phishing message for Chase Bank than Bank of America, however Facebook is   rapidly becoming the most phished organization online

- Finland has some of the best computer security in the world, China some   of the worst

- It takes the average spammer 2 and a half weeks from when they first   harvest your email address to when they send you your first spam message,   but that's twice as fast as they were five years ago

- Every time your email address is harvested from a website, you can expect   to receive more than 850 spam messages

- Spammers take holidays too: spam volumes drop nearly 21% on Christmas Day   and 32% on New Year's Day

- And much more.....

We have published it under the Creative Commons Attribution license, so don't hesitate to share anything you find interesting. In the end, we couldn't have gathered this data without you.

Thank you for all your help over the last five years. Here's to wishing you happy holidays and a relatively spam-free New Year.

Sincerely,
The Project Honey Pot Team

Verification for Domain Registration

Well, our domain scammer friends are at it again. If you have not heard of this scam before, it first appeared about a year or two ago and involves sending you an email that makes you think that someone is trying to register domains using your trademark.
 
In our case, NielsenTech is not trademarked and anyone that wants to register domains with our company name is welcome to do so. Pretending to be us would be about the worst business plan I can think of, but some may be that lacking in imagination, I don't know...
 
These emails are SPAM and should be reported for that alone. The fact that they lie to you so you will buy OVERPRICED domains you DON'T NEED is where the crime exists. While the scammers appear to be in China and may be connected to a company in China, I have heard they may also be located in India. No matter what, don't fall for this scam and if you want to protect your domain names, use an established domain registrar that won't charge you many times more than you should be paying.
 
One last thing? Most of those .cn or chinese domains that they are selling are pretty much worthless if you are thinking to get Chinese visitors and customers. China is not Japan where English is a second language. Do some research before you shell our your money... Good Luck!

Dear CEO,   
                                                                                      
We are the department of registration service in China.We formally received an application on November 16, 2009, one company which self-styled Autcl Corporation is applying for registering internet brand"nielsentech" ,and Domain names as below: nielsentech.asia   
 nielsentech.cc   
 nielsentech.cn   
 nielsentech.com.cn   
 nielsentech.com.hk   
 nielsentech.com.tw   
 nielsentech.hk   
 nielsentech.net.cn   
 nielsentech.org.cn   
 nielsentech.tw   
                                                                
After our initial examination, we found out that Autcl Corporation has no trade mark, brand nor patent even similar to that word.As authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we hereby suspect Autcl Corporation to be a domain grabber.So we hope to get the affirmation from your company. If your company and this Autcl Corporationas are the same company,there is no need reply to us,We will accept their application and will register those for them immediately.         
                                                                                 
If your company has no relationships with that company nor does not authorize them,please reply to us within 5 workdays,if we can't get any information from yours over 5 workdays,we will unconditionally approve the application submitted by Autcl Corporation.Thanks for your cooperation.
