A number of Chinese Domain Name providers are trying, in bad faith, to encourage European companies to register a number of Asian domain name extensions. These providers typically claim that they have received a registration request from another company who wishes to register domain names that are identical to your company name.

What to do?
Our China IPR SME Helpdesk Experts suggest that in case you receive such an email you have four options:
1)ignore the email
2)reply to the email that you will report this email to CNNIC (the Chinese domain name registry) as ‘slamming’ and an attempt at fraudulent activity
3)forward the email to CNNIC at service@cnnic.cn
4)Register some of those domain names you may have already considered registering, through your local or usual registrar.

In reply to Rose Thum.

Hi there Rose,

I am glad to see my research when I first found these is helping others. There are plenty of people out there looking to take advantage. The more people are aware of the different scams and schemes the better.

Well done for doing your research!

Great site by the way, well done there too.

Cheers

Steven
