Is this joker trying to steal my domain name?
Hi Warriors
I got this email from a Chinese registrar about my domain
name. The problem is that this whole thing looks and sounds
fishy.
Here is the 1st email I got:

To whom it may concern: 2009-5-8
We are a domain name registration service company in Asia,
Last week we received a formal application submited by
Justin Lin who wanted to use the keyword
⋚tingreviewworld" to register the Internet
Brand and with suffix such as .cn /.com.cn /.net.cn/.hk/
.asia/ domain names.
After our initial examination, we found that these domain
names to be applied for registration are same as your
domain name and trademark. We aren't sure whether you have
any relation with him. Because these domain names would
produce possible dispute, now we have hold down his
registration, but if we do not get your company's an reply
in the next 5 working days, we will approve his company's
application
In order to handle this issue better, Please contact us by
Fax ,Telephone or Email as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely

Dear Andres Munoz，
Thanks for your prompt reply.As far as we know, Mr.Justin Lin
want to apply for the following names:
datingreviewworld.cn
datingreviewworld.com.cn
datingreviewworld.asia
datingreviewworld.net.cn
datingreviewworld.org.cn
And Internet Brand "datingreviewworld ".
You would know domain name takes open registration, this is
international domain name registration principle. So Justin
Lin has right to register it.
If you think his registration will confuse your clients and
harm your profits, we can send an application document to you
and help you protect these domains within our approving period.
This is a better way to prevent domain name dispute. If you
think his application will not affect your company, you can give
up, we will finish his registration. Hope get your decision as
soon as possible so that we can handle the next step
Best regards
Your Sincerely Joy xu

My question is should I be worried? Why is this butthole trying
to jack my domain name?
I don't want him to have the brand "DatingReviewWorld" it's my
website and I came up with the name. Why should I allow him to
take it.
On top of that the chinese registar then emails me an application
where I need to pay $100 to "protect" my domain name brand.
WTF?
Please help me,
Andres
