Default What is the scam?
Got this email this morning...

Dear Manager,

We are an agency engaging in registering brand name and domain names. Our center received an application from JiangJing International Ltd and they apply to register nukkacapital as their brand name and some top-level domain names. We found the main body of domain names is same as your company name. I am not sure about the relationship between you and them. Please tell me whether or not your company authorizes them to register names.

We are dealing with the application and we need to confirm whether you have authorized them? If you don't authorize them, please reply me an e-mail. Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Rowan Bao | Service & Operations Manager

Its a phishing engagement technique, they'll start corresponding back and forth and ask for information to "authorize" this company to get a domain name. You're a good person so you'll be more forthcoming than is wise - or they are hoping so.

They will send you to a site and have you make an account to get your info and a password, as many people reuse passwords.
