Warning! Chinese scam!
Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2014 2:25 pm
I got an e-mail this morning from someone claiming to work for a company that registers domain names in China, saying that they'd gotten a formal application for the use of my business name. If I didn't answer in six days they'd allow this company to use my business name. Oh? A quick search revealed it as a scam, of course, and that if I answered they'd try to get me to pay a fee to protect my business name. It's an old scam, come to life again. Beware.
