Yep, this scam is still going on. I became suspicious when they sent me a 'registration form', trying to get me to fork out $US38.80 per year per domain name for each of four domains for a minimum of five years.
A quick check with my hosting company showed that the prices were grossly inflated.

Emne: Vedr.:⁨ Re: CN domain and keyword⁩

Dear,

We have already suggested that they should choose another name to avoid this conflict according as your company have no relationship with them, but they persist in this name as China domain names (.cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn) and internet keyword. In our opinion, maybe they do the similar business as your company then register it to promote his company.

As is known to all, the domain name registration based on the international principle is opened to company and individual. Any company or individual have the right to register any domain name and internet keyword which are unregistered. Your company haven't registered this name as China domains and internet keyword, so any company is able to obtain them by registration. But in order to avoid this conflict, the trademark or original name owner have priority right to register China domain name and internet keyword during our dispute period. If your company is the original owner of this name and want to register these China domain names (.cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn) and internet keyword to prevent anybody from using them, please inform us. We can send you an application form with price list to help your company register these China domains and internet keyword during our dispute period.

On July 16, 2018 , we received an application from Kaining Ltd requested "xyz" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (xyz.cn, xyz.com.cn, xyz.net.cn, xyz.org.cn).

I've been playing along for a few months now. I photoshopped their invoice to show a different swift code (making it appear like there was a man-in-the-middle attack changing their invoices swift code).

I then sent them 'their' invoice, screenshots as evidence why it couldn't be paid 'because the swift code you insist I pay to in your email is not on the actual invoice'. Hilarious.
