Most likely an attempt to<br>
sell us those domains.<br>
<br>
In any case it doesn't cost much to reply briefly saying<br>
that npoc is indeed the name of one of ncsg's constituencies<br>
and that Hongyan is not our partner or associate.<br>
<br>
If they then ask for money one way or another, politely<br>
decline.<br>
