zsh domain and keyword in CN

(Please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. Thanks)

We are a Network Service Company which is the domain name registration center in Shanghai, China. On June 25, 2014, we received an application from Huamax Holdings Ltd requested "zsh" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names. 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 email to you and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China?
 
Kind regards

We received this at another project and decided to reply.

I suggest somebody replies with a "No".

(It's probably not spam --- it doesn't ask for a credit card number or anything.)

Hi,

I'm the coordinator of the Zsh development group.

The people who are talking to you are not connected to us.  We are not a
commercial organisation but a free software development group ---
unaffiliated to any other organisation --- so we do not have registered
trademarks, just the domain name zsh.org.

Me, too. They asked for "mozillian" or "mozidebian" or such on
Debian's mailing list for mozilla packages. :-)

Not yet. :-)

The trick seems that they hope that the people they ask if the
trademark usage is ok, say "no" and then buy that domain instead of
the claimed buyer from those who were asking.

So the chance are high is that there was not really anyone interested
in zsh.cn or such, but they hoped we would buy it if we hear that
someone else may buy it.

		Kind regards, Axel

Yes, that does seem quite likely --- but as we're not, no harm done :-).
