It relates to the company name of one of our customers - and having done a bit of research through Google I believe it to be a scam that probably involves selling .cn or other TLDs and/or keyword marketing. But would be interested to hear if anyone else has any further information.

Hi

We have received one of these emails too, so I think that they are spam. Has anyone replied and found out how much 'resolving this' costs? I am going to ignore it as the client has no interest in China anyway!

Cheers

From researching the sender, etc, I'm quite confident it's at best a scam to sell .cn or whatever - I think your wise to leave it.
