Hi I'm new here and relatively new to Web building.

The company I work for is a Limited company in the UK. We have the .co.uk .com .biz and .eu domains for our company name. We've just been approached by a company in China saying that someone is trying to by several domain names using our company name. i.e. ourcompanyname.cn

They have also mentioned that this company is trying to buy the Internet Keyword ourcompanyname. How would this affect us if at all?

The company that has made contact with us informing us of this is offering their services (I'm sure with a fee). Are they just trying it on?

One final consideration is we do trade with China and Asia both import and export.

As speedy response would be very much appreciated as if we need to take action it needs to be done very quickly.

Many thanks,

Annie

Ignore it.

It's a scam and basically extortion and/or fraud.

Thank you for that. I'd guessed as much but just wanted to be sure.
