Company tries to emulate Chinese TM domain scam, fails miserably

The trademark domain name scam is one of the oldest in the book.

A registrar from China emails you, saying that someone is trying to register domain names very similar to your trademark or existing domain names. They’re checking with you as a courtesy to see if you’d like to register the domains first.

Although it might seem like a kind gesture, it’s all a lie. They’re trying to get you to register domain names through them.

Now a Brazil company is apparently trying the same tack. But it hasn’t figured out how to mail merge similar domain names in its spam. Here’s the message I just got:
