I received an email this morning from asiadomainregistry.org telling me that they have an Asian company applying for domain names of embears.biz plus others. They want me to call or email them. Has anyone had an email like this? I typed in the web address and came up with nothing. I have not replied, nor have I deleted the email. I just don't know what to do.......I really don't want embears to be associated with anything but me!

Any thoughts, help and comments are welcome!

Thanks....pandamac aka 'EmBears

Sounds like a money making con to me. I would ignore it, but I'm good at that. I would be wary of even emailing.

Yup, absolutely bogus.  You can always check yourself at a domain registry like this:

https://www.pairnic.com/index.html

(Don't worry about clicking on "register this domain now" when you check for availability, you're not making a registration in that first step!)  Anyway, it would show you that embears.com is the only domain registered, and every other suffix is still unregistered (.biz, .net, and so on).  That having been said, unless you want to register all of those yourself, like big internet business do, they really are available to other people taking them, which would in no way be a reflection on your business.  The email you received was a false one, but even if someone did register one of the other domains... really, not something I'd worry about.

Best wishes,
Kelly
