If you respond they will likely tell you that unless you make long

know anyone who has proceeded so I don't know what happens after that but
you can be sure there will be further essential fees, legal demands and so

It never happens. They are just trying to scam you out of unwanted domain
registrations with auto-renew.


indeed, that's what I heard as well - and I received similar mails for a 
couple of private domains as well, some of them with names that are 
rather uncommon both in Chinese and English, which makes me feel it's 
simply a bot mailing domain holders...

Hey Florian . . .

I see some scams, but none like this, if it is a scam.  To be honest, 
the set of emails do not ask me to pay anything or do anything.


The scam about asking me to renew my domains with their service is meant 
for those who do not remember how much it actually costs.


$80 vs. $10 - no brainer.  Since I have all my domains, and hosting for 
them, are with the same company. I also have auto renewal notifications. 
Plus, I have them auto renew is I miss the renewals, or am in the 
Hospital, taken care of.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Do you know who is trying to "take" my LibreOffice-NA domain?

2017-07-29 Thread Tim-L--Elmira-NY 


The renew emails are not the same as the Chinese emails.

Yes I hold LibreOffice-NA.US.  I think I even asked someone in 
TDF/LibreOffice "management" is I could use LibreOffice in a domain name.


To be honest, there are scams where I get calls from my domain and web 
hosting service that are not from them.  Before I had a black list 
filter "NoMoRobo" on my VoIP phone, I would get then several times a 
month.  Now these calls ring once and the filter "hang up on the calls 
with a message" That does not stop email spam and scams.  This black 
list filter for my Voice over IP phone system was a free option.  It is 
an available "free" APP for iPhones, but not yet for my for my Android 
cell phone and most of my family use Android as well.


The Chinese domain emails are not going to a separate email folder for 
these "suspected" scams/spams.  I have one folder for each of the 
different email lists I am a part of as well.


As I stated to the Chinese people - I am not giving up my LO domain.

As I stated before - I have auto renewal with my domain and hosting 
company.  Actually I went has 2 different domain registry companies 
before I got GoDaddy and 3 hosting companies as well.  I have been with 
Godaddy for over 10 years now, and I do not thing I would change - 
especially for one that charges several times as much.


I am down to 3 domains now - dumping 4 others since 2005.  I do not need 
those domains anymore.


One domain - krackedpress.com - I use only for email accounts - like the 
I use for this list.  I also have 2 emails accounts from my Internet 
provider and 3 Gmail accounts.  I even have an email addresses with the 
following formats [wife's and mine] - first-n...@last-name.com .  Some 
companies think they are not valid addresses, so I use a Gmail address 
for these places.

I have for all of my registered domain names over the past 20 years
received those same emails, and I never budged. No one ever registered
the web sites as threatened.

LibreOffice is a TM, and you hold libreoffice-NA.US. If in fact they
register, Chinese IP rights have gotten a lot better.

Again, do not fall for it.

If your registration is not about to expire you have norhing to worry
about. If so, renew ASAP.

My two cents.

I have all of my domains set to auto renew, just in case I forget to
renew after I get a renewal notice.

It seems that the Chinese registry feels I may have troubles.

I just want to fine out what is going on.  It seems to be a Chinese
company wanting to deal with LibreOffice in some way.  So I thought
someone here might know something about this Chinese company.
