Domain Slamming - Domain slamming (also known as unauthorized transfers or domain name registration scams) is a scam in which the offending domain name registrar attempts to trick domain owners into switching from their existing registrar to theirs, under the pretense that the customer is simply renewing their subscription to their current register. The term derives from telephone slamming.

One article points out: "Basically, the sender was “alerting” us that a company in China had sought to register NonDoc under the China-based .hk and .cn top-level domains (TLDs). In the interest of protecting our brand, the sender offered us the “opportunity” to beat the would-be infringers to the punch and help us register our own Chinese sites as soon as possible."
