A Couple of idiots calling themselves David Zhang and Gareth Qi are trying to scam Merlins-Bar in to registering for domain names (David's service) in china to stop other people (Gareth's company) from using them.
I have wished them well and a long and happy marriage together.
Based on your company having no affiliation with them, we have suggested they should choose another name to avoid this conflict but they insist on this name as China domain names (.cn/.com.cn/.net.cn/.org.cn) and internet keyword. In our opinion, maybe they do the similar business as your company and register it to promote his company.
According to the domain name registration principle: The domain name and internet keyword which applied based on the international principle are opened to companies as well as individuals. Any companies or individuals have rights to register any domain name and internet keyword which are unregistered. Because your company haven't registered this name as China domains and internet keyword on the internet, anyone can obtain them by registration. However, in order to avoid this conflict, the trademark or original name owner has priority in the registration of China domain name and internet keyword during our audit period. If your company is the original owner of this name and want to register these China domain names (.cn/.com.cn/.net.cn/.org.cn) and internet keyword to prevent anybody from using them, please inform us. We can send you an application form with price list to help your company register these China domains and internet keyword during our audit period.
lol. Did you tell them this site is non-profit? They would've lost interest right away ;)
btw, that website doesn't exist or their government turned the internet off again.
I actually would like to see merlins-bar.cn, I'll post my most darkest humor/porn on there :D
(Please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. Thanks)
We are a Network Service Company which is the domain name registration center in Shanghai, China. On Nov 19, 2014, we received an application from Huabao Holdings Ltd requested "merlins-bar" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names. But after checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it's necessary to send email to you and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China?
We will register the "merlins-bar" as internet keyword and China domain names .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn, .org.cn and have submitted our application. We are waiting for Mr. David Zhang's approval and think these CN domains and internet keyword are very important for our business. Even though Mr. David Zhang advises us to change another name, we will persist in this name.
