[Carl Reed]

Jo -

The OGC gets these type of emails on a regular basis. We had legal counsel check and they said that these are all scams.

Hope this helps.

Dear President,

We are the department of Asian Domain registration service in china, have something to confirm with you. We formally received an application on July 19,2012. One company which self-styled “Leinon Investment Co., Ltd” were applying to register "osgeo" as Network Brand and following domain names:

 osgeo.asia  
 osgeo.com.cn  
 osgeo.com.tw  
 osgeo.hk  
 osgeo.net.cn  
 osgeo.tw  
 

After our initial checking, we found the name were similar to your company's, so we need to check with you whether your company has authorized that company to register these names. If you authorized this, we will finish the registration at once. If you did not authorize, please let us know within 7 workdays, so that we will handle this issue better. Out of the time limit we will unconditionally finish the registration for Leinon Investment Co., Ltd.
Best Regards,
