Website or domain name owners are asked to be aware of fraudulent Chinese domain name registration email messages like the one below that came from the fake website: "www.domainregistryasia.net". 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 sending money, which the scammers claim will be used to purchase their Chinese (.CN) domain names.

Dear CEO,
(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. If this email affects you, we are very sorry, please ignore this email. Thanks)
We are a Network Service Company which is the domain name registration center in China.
We received an application from Hua An Ltd on August 28, 2017. They want to register " gamiss " as their Internet Keyword and " gamiss .cn "、" gamiss .com.cn " 、" gamiss .net.cn "、" gamiss .org.cn " 、" gamiss .asia " domain names, they are in China and Asia domain names. But after checking it, we find " gamiss " conflicts with your company. In order to deal with this matter better, so we send you email and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China or not?
Best Regards,
