<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">John,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My experience is similar, although I
have not captured the metrics. I often receive (third-hand via tech/admin
email addresses) slamming emails, rather than fake renewal notices, suggesting
that domains are about to be registered which include my brand, offering
me an opportunity to jump-in and claim it, along with a bunch of others.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> <br>
Kind regards,</font>

helpful for you as you discuss the fake renewal issue. This chart

We’ve sent a cease and desist letter to each, written to the Hong

Here is the issue that steve mentioned.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">I have website client who get fake renewal
notices. Or phone calls.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>

</font><a href=http://name.cn/><font size=2 color=blue face="Calibri"><u>name.cn</u></font></a><font size=2 face="Calibri">
and as you have </font><a href=http://name.com/><font size=2 color=blue face="Calibri"><u>name.com</u></font></a><font size=2 face="Calibri">
and as we are a responsible registrar (actually not accredited) we
wanted to check with you first before accepting our client’s order.
Do you want to register for 10 years of $$$ ?”</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">I advise my clients it is a scam, but just
to be on the safe side they usually instructs me to make a defensive registration
and I do so for one year with another registrar. </font>
