I have received a notification from the Chinese domain registration service netregistry.com.cn. Frustratingly I missed it at the time due to a seizure the day before.
This is a official email. We are the Domain Registration Service company in Shanghai, China. I have an issue to confirm with you. On March 6, 2026, we received an an application from Baohui Ltd. They wish to register “tiddlywiki” as their internet keyword and Chinese domain names (tiddlywiki.cn, tiddlywiki.com.cn, tiddlywiki.net.cn, tiddlywiki.org.cn). But after reviewing it, we find this name conflicts with your business name or brand name. In order to resolve this issue properly, it’s necessary to send this email to you and confirm if this firm is your distributor in China?
I have replied asking to hold the registration if it is not too late while I check whether Baohui Ltd. is actually a member of the community acting on our behalf to protect the name?
This email is from China domain name registration center. On October 3, 2024, we received an application from Hongpai Ltd requested “cybercashworldwide” as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (cybercashworldwide.cn, cybercashworldwide.com.cn, cybercashworldwide.net.cn, cybercashworldwide.org.cn). 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 business partner in China?
I was reading the forum on a daily basis back when you reported health issues. I do not recall any Chinese member of the community voicing such intention.
A few quick searches show this could be an old scam.
It is smart to socialise such things with others, it is a super power against these criminals. So often, if you show someone else, they see what you did not at the time.
Most of time doing noting won’t miss anything. I use AI to reply every phone call, some of them must be scam, or advertisement, but anyway none of them will reach me. And I only check email once a month.
People really needs my attention will use wechat/QQ or message.
Too many scam on phone call and email. By the way, if there are really some opportunity from China, they probably will join our QQ/Wechat group to discuss with us first. So this “email” guy must be an automated scam bot.
I’m not a young man, I’m already 30 years old, but compare to many of TW users maybe I’m still young.
Well, I have a community card on https://tiddlywiki.com/#%40linonetwo , an addition is I use it to record what AI doesn’t know, my personal info, so I can easily use them as context so AI knows me.
Maybe you means you don’t want those megacorps to use your personal info, but I’m open to that, what can I lost? I already lost most of internet privacy, in China every account (wechat/QQ/everything except for email) needs phone number and phone number connect to ID number, so I’m already naked in the internet.
I even let AI analyse all illness I have (luckily, as I’m young, only issues like toothache and finger muscle pain) , I recode them in https://github.com/tiddly-gittly/health-buff-debuff-tracker/ . Maybe oneday megacorp will use that information to recommend health product a.d. to me. But my wife is an biology doctor, we discuss every dicision with each other, no a.d. could change my mind easily, so I’m safe at the moment.
