Email scams seem to have taken a real upturn lately, today 60% of the overnight e-mails were unsolicited spam, Bank account irregualities, payapl suspended etc. etc. however the one below is a new one on me.

Dear CEO,

Sorry to trouble you! We are a professional organization mainly engaged in Internet intellectual property management in Asia. Currently, we have a pretty important issue needing to confirm with your company.

 

On Jun, 7, 2011, we received an application formally. One company named "Skeen Holdings Ltd" wanted to apply for some domain names about the keyword "zedworld" from our organization.

 

Now we are handling with the registration of these domain names.When we checking their application, we found the keyword of these domain names are identical with your company's. So, I want to confirm with you: Have you consigned Skeen Holdings Ltd. to register those domains? Or are they your subbranch?

 

We haven't finished the registration of Skeen Holdings Ltd. yet, and we have postponed this application of this company temporarily already. In order to deal with this issue better, please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible.

Waiting for your reply ASAP.

 

Best Regards,

Jason Long

Audit Supervisor

It's quite a good scam though, made me think and do a bit of research :-

Yeah we saw that when I was working for the insurance company, had us a little worried for a while tbh, as intellectual property to an insurance company is a big deal, so we had to go do some research of our own at the time.
