Hi Steve I get that kind of stuff from China all the time, because I own or manage about 17 domain names. All my domain names are registered through GoDaddy. I checked with them about this when it started. You really don't need to worry about it. They are just trying to get you to try and purchase the name from them, which is really a scam. You can check with whoever you have the name registered with to confirm this.

Org Subject: [sac-forum] Help with email I received from China Hello SAC; I got this email, I guess I am still the holder of the domain name "saguaroastro dot org". So, what do you think? Is this some type of scam? If it is not, should we really care what some Chinese company does? We (I) do own the dot org name...but not dot com.

On May.16, 2011, we received an application from Meihua Holdings Group requested"saguaroastro" as their internet trademark keyword and China (CN) domain names. But after checking ,we find this name is conflict with your company's name or trademark. In order to deal with this issue better, it's necessary to send this email to you and confirm with your company whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China? If you did not authorize, please let us know within 7 workdays, so that we will handle this issue better. Looking forward to your reply Best regards, Linda Linda Zhou Checking Department ------------------------------------ China Internet Registration Institution: HongKong Office(Head Office) HongKong China Technology Ltd Tel: +00852-39711641 Fax: +00852-39711857 Rm 1105,Lippo Centre Tower1, 89 Queensway,Admiralty,Hong Kong China.
