www.chinaregistry.com.cn - it is a Fake CN and ASIA Domain Name Registration Website

Domain name owners be aware of fraudulent Chinese domain name registration emails like the one below that came from the fake website "www.chinaregistry.com.cn". The fraudulent email messages should not be responded to, especially with personal or financial information. And, the instructions in the same fraudulent email messages should not be followed. Every month, thousands of these email messages are sent out by scammers to trick website owners into paying them for a fraudulent service, which the scammers claim will be used to purchase their Chinese (.CN) domain names.

    Thank you for sharing this, I almost fell for it. We are having a problem with fake Chinese web stores falsely advertising our products, so I jumped to the conclusion that they were trying to register our domains on the .cn. A search for "Hongbo Ltd scam" brought me here.

    By the way, here's an example of a fake store that rips off content from Indiegogo and Kickstarter campaigns: CIQNUI.STORE they have nothing they advertise, though sometimes they send a crappy speaker, just to prevent successful PayPal claims against them.

  • August 8, 2018 at 12:08 AM by an anonymous user from: Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany

    We received that kind of email, too. Searching a little, I found out that, if you answer it is your domain, they reply the other ones insist on registering the name in China and offer you, in the end, to buy the Chinese domain for yourself. But to click on any of their links would be for sure a very expensive mistake!

      Just be careful going forward because the scammers will contact you and attempt to scam you.

  • November 8, 2017 at 11:57 AM by an anonymous user from: Sao Paulo, Brazil

    OMG! This has happened to us here in Brazil too. After this Thomas Liu indicates a Chinese company is competing for our tradename domains and "keyword".

    Another message came to us from a pretending person of this HuikaI Ltd to make threat even more realistic:

    "To whom it concerns, we will register the China domain names "e*sys.cn" "e*sys.com.cn" "e*sys.net.cn" "e*sys.org.cn" and internet keyword "e*sys" and have submitted our application. We are waiting for Mr. Thomas Liu's approval and think these CN domains and internet keyword are very important for our business. Even though Mr. Thomas Liu advised us to change another name, we will persist in this name. Kind regards. Gareth Ning".

    We also asked for forms and prices in a suspicious way. Now we now know it's another fraud!

  • November 1, 2017 at 12:56 PM by an anonymous user from: Babylon, New York, United States

    Many, many thanks. Our message came from a Daniel Liu. I did respond and was told that the company was still going to pursue getting our site name because we are not "registered" in China. They are also intending to use the "internet word" which is supposed to be like a keyword.

    I asked him to send us information and rates for registration, already suspicious of the intent.

    We also found the site that the Registry uses and it looks very real ... too real for my partner's radar.

    When I searched for the company that supposedly wants our name, I also found this site's listing. Just in time!

    Thanks for all you do for all of us. <*G*>

    • November 3, 2017 at 6:25 AM by an anonymous user from: Raanana, Merkaz, Israel

    Hi, I received such an email, too. In my German blog I wrote an article about this. Looks like a strange behavior.

    The mail we received, came from chinaregistry.org.cn (not the .com.cn). Which one is right?
