I have received e-mails from China notifying us about attempt to register our domain "Beltcor". I was under the impression that our domain is registered world wide, and we are protected against these attempts. Please read the following and clarify:

Dear CEO,
(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, 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.
We received an application from Huayi Ltd on July 27, 2015. They want to register " beltcor " as their Internet Keyword and " beltcor .cn "?" beltcor .com.cn " ?" beltcor .net.cn "?" beltcor .org.cn " ?" beltcor .asia " domain names etc.., they are in China and Asia domain names. But after checking it, we find " beltcor " conflicts with your company. In order to deal with this matter better, so we send you email and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China or not?

Dear Miro Minka,
We have not heard from you since our last comunication. Since your company haven’t registered this name as CN/ASIA domains (.asia/ cn/ com.cn/ net.cn/ org.cn) and internet keyword on the internet, anyone can obtain them by registration. You must know the domain names and internet keyword which applied based on the international principle are opened to companies as well as individuals. Also, we have suggested they should choose another name but they are persistent in this name. As a domain name registrar, we have no rights to refuse their application if they insist. In this situation, we have told you your company have the priorty in registering CN/ASIA domains and internet keyword in our audit period. Could you tell us whether or not your company want to register these CN/ASIA domain names and internet keyword to prevent anyone from using them? If your company need to register these names in china, we can send an application form and the price list to you and help you register these within dispute period.
Best Regards
Jim

Hello,

If you have your domain registered then yes no one can take it from you unless you fail to renew the registration. However lets say you have domain.com anyone can get domain.net or in this case domain.asia and it is completely legal. This looks to be a phishing scam to try and get you to possibly release information regarding your domain details later down the road. I honestly would ignore these emails as like I said, if you have it registered and you renew the domain, no one can take it from you.
