Dear President&CEO,

We are an organization specified at dealing with domain name dispute and registration in Asia. We have something important on intellectual property right need to confirm with your company.

On August 3, 2010, we received an application formally, one company named "Csora Holding Ltd" applied for the Brand keyword "klymit" and some domain names with our organization.

After checking, we found your company is the original trademark owner. If the company's action haven't been authorized by your company, so their behavior will conflict with your interests. In order to deal with the matter better,please contact us ASAP. Thanks.

Likewise, I love seeing inside things, underneath covers, what people don't normally see. I went to a CD pressing plant in Blackburn in 2007 (with my work) and I was utterly transfixed, glad I took my camera because the place was shut down a year later by its German owners!

Hi there, I have the same problem with a noisy box outside my garden, it hums louder and softer during the day, I have been chatting with a neighbour just yesterday, who has been in touch with the local radio station, local MP and Virgin themselves, she had no joy, I did suggest to her that maybe if we got a few signatures from the neighbouring houses and pass them onto Virgin, it may help our case. I havent written yet myself, but will be this week, its second on my list as at the moment I have a central networks sub station and alleyway to it at the bottom of my garden which is full of thistles and constantly contaminates my garden with weeds..... I have been past various Virgin boxes and noticed how quiet they are in comparison ( not that im an anorak or anything,! ) I will try the "saw someone tampering" ploy and see if I get anywhere, thanks for the tips. By the way I love to see the pics of the inside of things, very interesting, and it bought a memory back from my child hood ( 1060's) that I 'd forgotten, my brother used to regularly stand facinated behind the post office men with thier morris or viva vans(i think) when they were repairing the boxes in the street, they'd give him some of the old bits to play with, and we'd call the little wires with blobs on "telegoons" !!... ..sheena.

We just received a similar one. This time the company was Csora Holding Ltd.

Like Clifton, leaving this note here as Google-juice for anyone else who gets approached using the new fake name.

Hello there Chris, thank's for your reply. I did threaten them with talk of me going to my local MP and local radio station and they did get back to me with a promise that an engineer would be out within 48hrs, which he was, so I did get some satisfaction in the end. They told me that the e-mails I had sent didn't get through as there was a breakdown in the system (yeh!) Perhaps a man from Mars answered my phone calls. Anyway thank's for taking an interest. Dave

It's amazing isn't it! But oh well, at least they're giving us the chance to have a laugh at their expense, for once

This scam has been going on for years and still continues. I’ve written about this issue on my blog at http://learnthenet.org/2010/05/10/the-domain-game/ and many others have shared similar experiences and emails they've received that mirror the one you posted. Amazingly, despite the publicity, I'm still receiving emails from these shell companies. Haven't they ever heard of a search engine?
