Watch Out For This Chinese Scam–picweb.net Domain Registration
This email came during the night. A look in Google reveals that a similar email was sent to someone else on Feb. 21, 2013, that reads almost identically.
Please take the time to ignore this and block the sender in your Mail rules. And for Heaven’s sake, don’t reply.

Urgent: “” Internet Brand and domain name registration
(Mail to the brand holder, thanks)
Dear CEO/Principal,
I’m sorry to disturb you so abruptly.
We are the department of registration service in China. On March 6,2013, we received an application formally. One company named “XiangLong Investment Co.,Ltd” had applied for the Internet Brand “claxtoncreative” and some relevant domain names through our body.
Now we are handling this registration, and we found that the keyword of these domain names and Internet Brand is identical with your company’s. So now we need to confirm a couple of things with you:
1. If your company consigns that company to register these domain names and Internet Brand, we will send an application form to them and help them finish the registration at once.
2. If your company has nothing to do with that company, they maybe have other purposes to register these domain names and Internet Brand.
We haven’t finished the registration of that company yet, and we have postponed the application of this company temporarily already. In order to deal with this issue better, please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible.
In addition, we hereby affirm that our time limit for dissent application is 7 days. If your company files no dissent within the time limit, we will unconditionally approve the application submitted by that company.
Best Regards
Anna Liu
