Hi everyone, just thought id warn you about this one.
Had an e-mail from a company with web address http://www.igndomains.co.uk
The e-mail read:-
Good Morning,A request has been received for multiple domain registrations that our systems indicate may conflict with your already existing company branding.
The request compiles of 7 domain extensions that match your existing domain name.
Our database shows that you are the registered owner of the domain,MY DOMAIN.co.uk, please confirm.The domain registration process will remain suspended for a 7 day grace period in which your company may act. If you company fails to act within this grace period then the suspension will end and the sale of the domain extensions will be granted.
If you feel that the registration of the requested domains may infringe on your business branding or may cause confusion to your potential and existing clients then please contact our team to discuss further options available.
kindest Regards,
Benjamin J Fowler,IGN Corporate Domain Manager
I contacted Nominet who my name is registered with, and then BT names which I originally set up my domain with, and eventually discovered this is a scam from China.
When in touch with BT names I enquired how much it would cost to buy the.org,.net,and.com extensions. its only about £22 inc VAT each for two years.
Hope that helps guys and gals.
