Me not very convinced...

Damienphotography.com received an email from John Wang who "works" in an Intellectual Company in China regarding some "Urgent Notice of Intellectual Property Protection".

It goes like this:

Dear Manager:

This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally in China and Asia.
On April 13th 2011, We received HAITONG company's application that they are registering the name " damienphotography " as their Internet Keyword and " damienphotography .cn "、" damienphotography .com.cn " 、" damienphotography .asia "domain names etc.., It is China and ASIA domain names. But after auditing we found the brand name been used by your company. As the domain name registrar in China, it is our duty to notice you, so I am sending you this Email to check. According to the principle in China, your company is the owner of the trademark, In our auditing time we can keep the domain names safe for you firstly, but our audit period is limited, if you object the third party application these domain names and need to protect the brand in china and Asia by yourself, please let the responsible officer contact us as soon as possible.

So... Alvin called me to check it out.

And then I kind of like... Hmmmmm... The English is so bad I had no idea what the hell they are talking about... China? I don't, and never would trust Chinese people... Scam? But what kind of scam services they are "offering"?

So I forwarded the email to my lawyer sister and she said this smell fishy.

Scam?

And I forwarded the email to another friend of mine, and he just "haha..." away and said, "Never trust Chinese people on this like this."

And then I found a link the said,

YG-Networks.com is a Scam – Rip Off Warning

Anyway, I never trust "corporate" that can't speak or write proper English, never mind where they are from. Besides, this feller's English is so bad that, I can't see anything that is too good to be truth in it.

But! On the bright side - At least they noticed Damienphotography.com :)
