    I've got an email from "China Internet Service Provider" I fairly sure I've gotten them before for my website address with the Chinese domain and I've just ignored them. This time they've said someone is trying to register the address of the company that we're renting the shopping cart off.

    I just want to confirm this is a scam.

    If they are not your registar it is a scam. Simple as that.

    What their saying is because the name is the same as ours we have rights to the name the same way the Irish domain crowd are.

    Their website is a laugh riot though.

    Why the hell would anybody half way around the world be interested in 'protecting' your trademark unless they're up to something. It's likely either scare spam to drum up reg biz and/or phishing.

    ROFL. I'd always wondered what exactly a domain name is:
    Compared with IP address, Domain Name is a character sign which is like a doorplate number on internet, it's used to identify and orient hiberarchy of computer on internet.

    It's a scam. Our clients get hit with these kind of things all the time.
