Asian Domain Name Spam

A client of mine recently received the e-mail below.

*******************************************************
Dear Principal / CEO,

Hello!Sorry to trouble you!
We are a domain name registration service company in HongKong, which mainly deal with international company's domain name registration and disputing
in Asia.On the Sep 10,2008, Our auditing dept received an application formally from "Daredi international ltd",they claimed as your agent in Asia and consigned
by you to register following internet trademark :
domainname (clients domain name)

and the domain names:
domainname.asia
domainname.cn
domainname.com.cn
domainname.hk
domainname.in
domainname.net
domainname.tw etc...

Through our company.
According to our procedures and in order to protect your intellectual property rights, we need to send this email to the original company for confirming the
actual relationship with this company.If you do not know this company, we doubt that they have other motivation to register these domain names and probably
want to do some cybersquatting. Now we have postponed this issue and have not proceeded their registration,In order not to confuse registering these domain
names,Please contact us Asap.

PS:If you are not in charge of this matter,please transfer this email to appropriate dept.

Best Regards

This appears to be at the very least a spam e-mail praying on fears of cyber squatting.

For the website that clued me in to it see http://www.kenkai.com/seo-blog-article-142.htm

If you want an Asian domain name seek the advice of your website deigner or SEO specialist and get them to look at a variety of the domain name providers to find the cheapest price and most flexible service.
