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. / Eje -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Forbes Mercy Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 10:39 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] DS-CHINA.ORG I replied about three months ago to this and stated that we held the trademark for our company name.
