Verification for Domain Registration
Well, our domain scammer friends are at it again. If you have not heard of this scam before, it first appeared about a year or two ago and involves sending you an email that makes you think that someone is trying to register domains using your trademark.
In our case, NielsenTech is not trademarked and anyone that wants to register domains with our company name is welcome to do so. Pretending to be us would be about the worst business plan I can think of, but some may be that lacking in imagination, I don't know...
These emails are SPAM and should be reported for that alone. The fact that they lie to you so you will buy OVERPRICED domains you DON'T NEED is where the crime exists. While the scammers appear to be in China and may be connected to a company in China, I have heard they may also be located in India. No matter what, don't fall for this scam and if you want to protect your domain names, use an established domain registrar that won't charge you many times more than you should be paying.
One last thing? Most of those .cn or chinese domains that they are selling are pretty much worthless if you are thinking to get Chinese visitors and customers. China is not Japan where English is a second language. Do some research before you shell our your money... Good Luck!
