New Scam Method

I got this in my nelanz email today. I have no idea what are the implications if I replied but I did a quick check using the usual method - email header - and also googled sender's email which told me many others have already been a target. Just to be on the safe side, thanks to the sender who included a URL, I have sent an email to the address published on the website instead of replying to her directly. Let's see what happens tomorrow. 


In the meantime, if any of you receive email below, just remember - IT IS A SCAM! IP address shows China and the owner of the IP is a chinese fella. Not some corporation.

Dear Principal,       

 

We are a domain name registration and dispute organization in Asia,who mainly deal with global companies' domain name registration and internet Intellectual property right protection in Asia.Currently we have a very important issue that we need to confirm with your company. 

On Mar.1, 2011,We received an application formally from one company named Qornty Investment Co., LTD that wanted to applly for the Internet Name"nelanzstore" and some domain names from our organization.

After our initial examination, we found that the Internet Name and domain names applied for registration are as same as your company's name and trademark.These days we are dealing with this case,we were wondering whether you consigned Qornty Investment Co., LTD to register these domain names with us? If it is true,we will complete the registration of these domain names.Do you know this company? Currently,we have postponed this application of this company temporarily.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 is limited for dissent application.If your company files no dissent within the time limit,we will unconditionally approve the application submitted by Qornty Investment Co., LTD.

(PS:If you are not in charge of this matter,please transfer this email to appropriate dept.)

Best Regards,

Anna
