Dear Sir or Madam,

We are a specialized company for domain name registration and
protection. Here, we have an issue about your intellectual property
rights to confirm with you.We formally received an application on
January 15,2013 that a company which self-styled "* * * Investments
Limited"were applying to register "Example" as their Brand name and
some domain names through our firm.

Now we are handling this registration, and after our initial checking,
we found the name were similar to your company's, so we need to check
with you whether your company has authorized that company to register
these names. If you authorized this, we will finish the registration
at once. If you did not authorize, please let us know within 7
workdays, so that we will handle this issue better. Out of the time
limit we will unconditionally finish the registration for "* * *
Investments Limited".Looking forward to your prompt reply.


I am almost sure this is a scam, but thought of asking you if you have seen anything similar. Is their any chance that this is a legitimate message?
