PF Now Controls .com .net .org | YAY!

In summary, a scam email has been sent to a company falsely claiming that a third party is trying to register their brand name as a domain name in China and Asia. The email urges the company to contact them to protect their brand, but this is a fraudulent attempt to get the company to pay for unnecessary domain names.
