Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scamming - Fraud
The website asianetwork.net or asianetwork.net.cn is fraudulent. Therefore, website or domain name owners are asked to be aware of fraudulent Chinese website or domain name registration emails like the one below that came from the fake website "www.asianetwork.net" which appears to be owned by Nexperian Holding Limited. 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.
