Dear All,

I am a sole trader and my company name CADD Matters. I have registered with 1&1 for domain names cadd-matters.co.uk and cadd-matters.com. I have e-mail addresses and my websites using these domain names. I have now received an e-mail below:

Dear CADD Matters

This is Beijing Erimat Network Information Technology Co., Ltd, domain name registrant in China. A formal application dated on May 13th from one company requested "cadd-matters" as their Chinese top-level domain name (.cn/.hk etc).and internet keyword Due to the possibility of involving your company name or trade mark, we bring this into your attention immediately in view of your priority and IPR according to the registration procedure. Please contact us for protective prior registration of those domains or learning more about it.

I'm not sure what implication this has, what prior registration of these domains means and whether I should and how I can protect my company name world wide (trademark??)

Thanks in advance
Jas:eek:

It's a very old, tired scam. You will also received similar letters stating that someone has tried to register cadd-matters.info etc. Ignore.

Some of my clients have had the same email
