This scam is old but I don't see any receint threads about it, and the scammers are using a new domain I think, so I think it bears posting again. The scam is you get an email that someone is trying to register your "trademark" in an asian domain or keyword. The company is looking out your interests by letting you know you can still register them and protect your intellectual property. They are lying of course, and if you want to protect your domain in other TLDs these are the LAST people you want to use, unless you like paying EXCESSIVE prices for highly questionable services...!
I have attached a copy of the the "Application Form" they send you if you ask for it.-----Original Message-----

Dear CEO,
We are the domain name registration organization in Asia, which mainly deal with international company's in Asia. We have something important need to confirm with your company.
On Sep. 20, 2010, we received a formal application from a company called "Deahmer international Co., LTD" who are applying to register "nielsentech" as domain name and internet keyword.
After our initial examination, we found that the keyword and domain names applied for registration are as same as your company's keyword and trademark. We don't know whether you have any relation with them. These days we are dealing with it. If you do not know this company, we doubt that they have other purposes to buy these domain names. If they are your business partner or distributor in the asia, we will automatically confirm application from your business partner after this audit procedure. Now we have not finished the registration of "Deahmer international Co., LTD" yet, in order to deal with this issue better. Please contact us by email as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
Vita.Xie
