Just received this e-mail.
[i]Dear CEO/Principal,
We are the auditing department of a professional domain name registration and dispute solution organization in China. I have something to confirm with you. We received an application on May 10, 2012 that a company which self-styled "ROS HK Ltd" were applying to register "luminouslights" as their Net Brand and following domain names:
luminouslights.asia
luminouslights.cn
luminouslights.co.in
luminouslights.com.cn
luminouslights.com.hk
luminouslights.com.tw
luminouslights.hk
luminouslights.in
luminouslights.net.cn
luminouslights.org.cn
luminouslights.tw
After our initial checking, we have 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 have authorized this, we will finish the registration at once. If you have not authorized, 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 "ROS HK Ltd".
Best Regards, [/i]
Don't think I'm going to do anything about it, mind.
does sound liek they're trying to protect you from some far east rip-off merchant taking over your 'name' and abusing it.
think there's more control over this type of thing now amongst the registration organisations.
may just be a way to get you to buy the domains to 'protect yourself in the future' though....
Scam.
Either they will try to sell you those domain names at silly high prices or want to get hold of your payment details for another scam...

Yes, I suppose thats an idea.
But I'll not be buying that lot.
Ta.
EDIT.
The Scam scenario had crossed my mind also.
Another reason I won't be scrapping to gether any more pennies.
It's a con. We had a load of those emails which included domains we already owned. Consign it to the bin and report it as spam if you use gmail or whatever.
