   Here’s the response from Tom Qin:

   Dear Robert,

   Many thanks for your confirmation, If you have no relationship with Spd Investment Corp, I represent our company to announce the following several points:
   1. Our company is a registration organization in China. Because Spd Investment Corp had applied for following domain names throught our body, and following domain names are conflicting with the company name & domain names you are using, we decided to inform you.
   2. The principle of domain names registration is always open, “who is first, who is the owner”. As a domain name registrar, we have no right to dispute their application. As the company whose trademarks relate to the applied domains, and your company have already use the http://www.rlweiner.com you own the preferential rights to register them.
   3. Your company must evaluate this matter very well, if these domain names being applied for by Spd Investment Corp will take some troubles and affect your future businesss in China, then we can apply for the prority of registration for your company.
   4. If your company do need to register those Domains in China please contact us in time, then we’ll inform you how to register. Above is our company’s simple declaration. There is a time limit. Pls let us know your decision soon. Waiting for your reply.

   Best Regards,

   It appears that the way to help them “handle this issue better” is for me to pay to license these domains. Sounds exactly like the original come-on from Internet Brand Justice & Safety Dept. Since it’s been nearly 3 years since the original message said someone had applied to register my domains in Asia and they haven’t been registered yet I’m not too worried. I might feel differently if I did business in Asia.

   (If you are not in charge of this please transfer this urgent email to your President & CEO, thanks.)

   Dear Manager,

   We are the registration and solution center in China. We have an important issue to confirm with you. On May 11th, 2012, we formally received an application, one company which called “UNK Invest Ltd” are applying to register ”xxxxxxxxxxxx” as Internet brand and Domain names:

   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.cn / .com.cn / .net.cn / .hk / .com.hk / .in / .tw / .com.tw / .asia
   After our preliminary investigation, we found the brand name and these domain names being applied are as same as your company’s, so we wonder whether your company consigned UNK Invest Ltd to register these domain names with us?
   If the aforesaid company is your business partner or your subsidiary company, please DO NOT reply us, we will approve the application automatically. If you have no any relationship with this company, please contact us within 10 workdays. If out of the deadline, we will approve the application submitted by “UNK Invest Ltd” unconditionally. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any question.

   Best Regards,

   I just called Ethan Jiang and he actually answered the phone, he seemed a little surprised! I was surprised that the phone number actually worked! He then quickly asked me who i worked for and when i asked him what he wanted he said “Did you read the email?” Of course i did that is why i am calling. I asked him if he read my email, he said he did and what i wanted. I said to discuss Pestil Investment Co. and what information he wanted. He then quickly said he had all the information he needed.

   This is the 2nd email i have received from domain services offered in China.

   Since i live in Chengdu i just might look up the address.
