If you receive an email along the lines of the following:
(Please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. Thanks)
We are the domain name registration service company in China. On July 24, 2017, we received an application from Jiarui Ltd requested "winnershtriangle" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (winnershtriangle.cn, winnershtriangle.com.cn, winnershtriangle.net.cn, winnershtriangle.org.cn). 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 in China?
Best Regards,
Peter Liu | Service & Operations Manager

This email contains privileged and confidential information intended for the addressee only. If you are not the intended recipient, please destroy this email and inform the sender immediately. We appreciate you respecting the confidentiality of this information by not disclosing or using the information in this email.
As we can see from the above, the email has no direct addressee and is just being sent to whichever email address the domain is registered with - this is a shame as it enables more and more companies to provide registration blocking services legitimately and so assist companies that are avoiding being held to account for their websites and other internet behaviour.
Looking at the originating email address below we can see that the sender is simply using the free account [email protected] which is, of course, not affiliated with any reputable registry.
As we can see the suggested originating email address is [email protected] which is a fairly unlikely address for China.
This email should be discarded and no action need be taken. This type of behaviour will end up with all domains having their registry withheld and no one being accountable for the contents of their website.
