Don't forget to send them your Bank account number, PIN, and mothers 
maiden name or they will approve it anyway.

Those asian registration things are scams nothing else. Over the last 3-4
years I probably received well over a 100 such messages. 
Majority of those in regards to WISP-Router but also on some other domains
that I'm listed as contact for. 
I have yet to see a single one of these claims of registration come through.

For a long time now I just binned those e-mails the first one of course I
responded to but also started investigate and came to the conclusion it was
just a sales scam trying to get me to pay for the domains and registrations
in question (my guess if I had nothing would gotten registered). 
So far so good no wisp-router.ca registered or any other of the domains that
someone supposedly trying to register.

I replied about three months ago to this and stated that we held the 
trademark for our company name.  I sent the same email to Qwest who put 
Washington Broadband in their listings as a name, never heard from the 
China group or Qwest again, go figure.

A musician friend of mine had the same thing happen regarding his domain 
about 4 months ago. An email from China said that someone wanted to 
register his domain ".cn". I looked into it and then advised him not to 
reply. At that time it looked like some kind of a registration scam from 
the email sender themselves. I'd like to hear what others think.
