Within the past week two customers have received remarkably similar emails from Asian companies which say that they have received an application to register a domain name which is the same as the main part of your domain name (eg, in the case of our hosting company it would be othellotech). They may mention trademark and anti-cybersquatting issues. They ask you to get in touch quickly or they will go ahead and register this domain name which is similar to yours.
This is a scam and you can safely ignore these emails should you receive one. That's the short version. There is more information here. Roger |

It's a recurring and common scam to get you to buy expensive domain registrations from them. Our advice *never* contact or buy anything from spammers
