Subject: Beware of Email scam on Domain Names by China Net Technology Limited
Email scam alert to webmasters,

Yesterday I received an email from a 'Kate Fu' from China Net
Technology Limited :-

We are China Net Technology Limited, which is the domain name register
center in China.I have something need to confirm with you.
we have received an application formally,one company named "Worldpro
Holdings Limited" applies for the domain names...( followed by a long
list of my domain URL in different versions of cn, hk, tw, biz, info,
org, etc) We need to know the opinion of your company, because the
domain names and keywords may relate to the usufruct of brand name on
internet.
we would like to get the affirmation of your company,please contact us
by telephone or email as soon as possible. Please let someone in your
company who is responsible for trademark or intellectual right contact
me freely.

Best Regards,

Kate Fu

My initial reaction was to panick and register as many of the domain
names listed in their email (cheaply with other providers) and
discovered this blog on the Internet today on the scam:-

Kate Fu sent through a very dodgy application form this morning to
register the domain names they had listed at very expensive prices -
my first suspicions arose.

So if anyone else has been targeted by this scam I would like to hear
their experiences and lets pass this one round so that as many people
as possible are aware of the scam
