So the guy from China got back to me. They registered those domain names, "it was his duty". The company that wanted to purchase them was not mentioned in the e-mail. It appears the Server company got them, and than parked them ~ he sent in the Whois data.
It's a scam and I don't expect to hear from him again. A company wants my domain name, via a registrar, but instead the registrar purchases the names and parks the page; Hmm.
It's only a few hundred dollars to start an ICANN protest, some day when I have time I'll close these bozos down.
On the up-side ~ people see the domain generating a great many visits!
Topic update [9/23/09] As I figured I never got another email from these guys. I'm not about to check out any site with out a dot.com on the end of it, so I never went out and checked if they are using the site or just parked it. Ya know, I never touch a site that does not have a dot com or dot net. Of course I'll check out a dot org, edu or gov website...... I assume people living in those countries don't have an issue going to their own web extension, but I sure do.
