These guys sent me the following email:

Dear CEO,

We are the domain name registration organization in Asia, deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally. Now we have something important need to confirm with your company.

On the Feb. 11, 2008, we received an application formally. One company named "Tainyo International Holdings Ltd " wanted to register following Domain names: XXXXXX.net.cn
XXXXXX.org.cn
XXXXXX.com.hk
XXXXXX.hk
XXXXXX.cc
XXXXXX.tw
XXXXXX.com.tw
XXXXXX.asia
Internet brand keyword: XXXXXX

through our body.

After our initial examination, we found that the keywords and domain names applied for registration are as same as your company's name and trademark. We don't know whether you have any relation with them. These days we are dealing with it. Now we have not finished the registration of Tainyo yet, in order to deal with this issue better, Please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

Venus Yuan

After exchanging emails several more emails, they send me a document called a 'domain name registration dispute form', which is basically an invoice to purchase those domains above.

Here's the kicker...The minimum registration term is TEN YEARS!!! You have a choice of registering domain names for 10 years, 20 years, or 30 years.... THIRTY YEARS!!!

So at ten years a piece, the total cost was $8300 ...

Anyone else ever get an email like this??
