Network Trademark Registration - another scam!

A few days ago I received the email below informing me that someone else wanted to use my domain name and I needed to register it.

Now being a bit of a cyinc and knowing that I own both the .co.uk and .com domains I use I did a little Google research to discover that a number of people have received these types of emails, usualy from the Far East and China and that it is indeed just a scam

I found a number of references to this scam and the best advice is not to bother replying at all as if you reply they can be very convincing and you could end up at worst being connned out of thousands of pounds and without doubt will be subjected to a large number of emails containing threats.

If you really are unsure then take legal advice.

Some of the places I found these scams referred to:

Dear CEO/Manager,


We are a domain name registration center in Hongkong,mainly dealing with domain name registration and internet intellectual property rights protection. On November.16,2009 we received a formal application from a local company of your country who is applying to register some domain names with the keyword “completehotelsservices ” and register it as their keyword. After investigation,we find that you are the original user of the keyword. As this refers to your company name or trade mark, and in order to avoid the confusion and dispute on the internet, we inform you and would like to know your ideas, if you agree about this issue, we will finish the third company's registration, If you don't agree the third company to register, please inform me.looking forward to your reply.thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

Kind Regards,
