Asian Domain name Scammers
Asian Domain Name Scammers
Bob Collingwood from the land of Hotmail sent me a list of dubious web sites that would appear to be website addresses used by Asian Domain Name scammers. Bob tells me that the addresses below have sent out scamming spam emails like the one I mentioned in Monday’s article, Beware of Domain name dispute emails from Asia.
As I didn’t do the research myself, I am merely printing this list for your information. I can make no claim to receiving direct spam from any of the companies listed, other than Wistechnology.asia. Treat any contact from these addresses the way you should with any spam that you receive - with great caution and check, double check and triple check before doing any business with spam-bastards!
Asian domain site addresses to be wary of, if you receive spam from them:

Take a look at this one. We have someone discussing the issue with me. What is their angle?
Dear Tim,
I am sorry to reply you so late.
Yes,you are right.Just because of your company have “Easyonhold”,so we inform of your company.But the domain names registration is open in the world.This is international domain name registration principle.According to the rule,Lee Balanced Ltd has right to register these domain names and Internet Trademark.
If you want to keep these domain names for your company,the best way and only way is to protect these domain names within the dispute period.But if you give up your priority to reigster them,we will finalize the registration for the third party according to the procedures.Please let me know your decision asap,so that we can move on next step.
I look forward to hearing from you.If you have any questions,pls contact me.
Best Regards,
Tina Tang

Dear CEO,
We are the domain name registration organization in Asia,we have something important to confirm with your company.
On the Nov.13,2008,we received an application formally.One company named Lee Balanced Ltd wanted to register following
Domain names:
easyonhold.info
easyonhold.cn
easyonhold.com.cn
easyonhold.hk
easyonhold.tw
easyonhold.in
easyonhold.asia
Internet Trademark:

Through our body.
After our initial examination,we found that the Internet Trademark and Domain names applied for registration are as same as your company’s name and trademark.At now we are dealing with it.If you do not know this company,we doubt that they have other purposes to purchase these domain names. Now we have not finished the registration of Lee Balanced Ltd yet,in order to deal with this issue better,Please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
