Internet brand name is they're such a thing or are you talking a company trademark?

The cynic in me says it's a simple cold call Email - Designed to make you feel the need to register the other domains - and with them. That's the stance i took when (quite a while ago) some random guy fones me up because he felt obliged to inform me somebody was trying to register what should be our domain with him - but as it was our company name he'd let me have it first....... |

Aye I thought it was that tbh. After all the domain names taht we want are ours, and as for brand name, its a trademark issue and we the company must have years of prior use in that if it needs to be argued about. But ya never know. |

Reminds me our boss (financial, not the actual business man) bought up a cc name - thinking it looked like "County Council"... for a silly amount of money. Some small dodgy country somewhere, no-one would trust a business at that domain

Would happily block China on a spam filter for this lot, unfortunately, its textiles so half the emails are from chinese companies. |
