Subject:     [redacted] domain and keyword in CN

(Please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. Thanks)

We are a Network Service Company which is the domain name registration center in Shanghai, China. On Oct 7, 2014, we received an application from Huaya Holdings Ltd requested "[redacted]" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names. But after checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it's necessary to send email to you and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China?Kind regards

Nobody is trying to register your domain name, this is simply a long-running scam aimed at getting you to spend too much money on something that you don't need. And I strongly recommend that you don't forward junk email like this to your CEO either.

I created a brief video explaining the scam that you can view below:
