"Dear Manager

customer to register CN domain and internet brand authorized by China Internet Network.

On July.17th.2008, We formally received an application from a company named VATEN co.Ltd who want to register " opmat"
name as their own Internet Brandand and CN domain name. However,by our Auditing department confirmed,your company is the
original trademark holder for it .You enjoy the priority to register and protect them,according to the China Registration Principles.
That is why I inform you this matter.

I've read somewhere on this forum before.
It's a scam to get people to register .cn names at their registrar.

 

[liquidcherry]

it is probably an appraisal scam, don't worry, don't respond...

Cheers

Indeed. Makes one wonder how they're possibly able to verify that, especially
if the trademark is unregistered or if there's even one to begin with.

how good of them to do that service for you for free!
too good to be true.

Sure would be nice if they also give you the domain name for free. :D

 

[weblord]

that's beyond their services, only in the realm of scamming that's what they do best.
