Found this jolly little missive in my Inbox last night, from simon @ domainservice.net.cn:
(Please Kindly send this message to your CEO because this is urgent. If you consider this has been delivered to you in error, please disregard it. Thanks.)
Dear CEO,
This is a official email. We are the Domain Registration Service company in Shanghai, China. I have an issue to confirm with you. An application was received by us from Baokang Ltd on January 13, 2026. They desire to register “kimdutoit” as their internet keyword and Chinese domain names (kimdutoit.cn, kimdutoit.com.cn, kimdutoit.net.cn, kimdutoit.org.cn). But after checking it, we notice this name conflicts with your business name or brand name. To deal with this issue properly, it’s necessary to send a message to you and verify if this firm is your distributor in China?
Best regards
Simon Liu

Seems all official and stuff, dunnit? The question, though, is why any person or organization would want to use “kimdutoit.anything” in China?
And just in case you’re interested, Bloomberg says this about the company wishing to use my name:
I truly thought that scammers and phishers were more creative than this.
