Peter N. M. Hansteen has a blog post about active DNS registration scams. The gist is that some are trying to hustle up unnecessary domain registrations in China. He notes in the blog post their attempts at getting him to buy as well as his responses to brush them off. Basically they're fishing for him to pony up some cash and register those domains himself through their outfit. As crime goes, this is the rough equivalent of some petty, if unpleasant, street crime and seems to have been going for some years. However, for those actually considering or planning on expanding into China or Asia in general, these scams can be a serious issue.

[Do any Soylentil's have experience getting domain names in China and/or Asia? What registrars have you used? -Ed.]
