They use one of the most common way to trick their victims.
Surely, it is absolutely not an advisable company at all.

BEWARE! THEY STILL ACTIVE
December 9, 2019

THIS IS DOMAIN NAME SCAM. Claim to have received an application by another company in China wants to register a domain name that uses your company name or trademark. Similar tactics used after so many years, these are scam emails received.

==================
First email: FROM *****@chinaregistry.net.cn

(It's very urgent, please transfer this message to your CEO. Thanks)

We are the domain registration and solution center in China. On Nov 29,2019, we received an application from Kangwei Ltd requested "..." as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (... cn,... com.cn,... net.cn,... 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 this message to your company and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China?

Best Regards

We will register the China domain names "... cn" "... com.cn" "... net.cn" "... org.cn" and internet keyword "..." and have submitted our application. We are waiting for Mr. Steve Liu's approval and think these CN domains and internet keyword are very important for our business.

==================
Third email: FROM *****@chinaregistry.net.cn

We have already suggested that they should choose another name to avoid this conflict according as your company have no relationship with them, but they persist in this name as China domain names (... cn,... com.cn,... net.cn,... org.cn) and internet keyword. In our opinion, maybe they do the similar business as your company then register it to promote his company.

As is known to all, the domain name registration based on the international principle is opened to company and individual. Any company or individual have the right to register any domain name and internet keyword which are unregistered. Your company haven't registered this name as China domains and internet keyword, so any company is able to obtain them by registration. But in order to avoid this conflict, the trademark or original name owner have priority right to register China domain name and internet keyword during our dispute period. If your company is the original owner of this name and want to register these China domain names (... cn,... com.cn,... net.cn,... org.cn) and internet keyword to prevent anybody from using them, please inform us. We can send you an application form with price list to help your company register these China domains and internet keyword during our dispute period.

Best Regards

Fake registrar
June 7, 2017

I have the same issue with this scam, trying to sell me domain names for 140/year per domain, on 5 or more years. But I took some other measures, because I have friends in China and have reported them to authorities.

Update: You can file compliant to https://econsumer.gov/#crnt, as I just did, maybe they can help.
