I got the following Email from an individual in China:
Dear CEO,
(It's very urgent, please transfer this email to your CEO. If this email affects you, we are very sorry, please ignore this email. Thanks)
We are a Network Service Company which
is the domain name registration center in China.
We received an application
from Hai Tong Ltd on October 18, 2021.
They want to register " kipp-blake-families " as their Internet Keyword and
" kipp-blake-families .cn "、" kipp-blake-families .com.cn " 、" kipp-blake-families .net.cn "、"
kipp-blake-families .org.cn " domain names, they are in China domain
names. But after checking it, we find " kipp-blake-families " conflicts with your
company. In order to deal with this matter better, so we send you email and
confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China or
not?
Best Regards

It does seem to be rather strange that a Chinese company would try to use my website title given that the two surnames are Dutch/German (Kipp) and English/Irish (Blake). I am thinking of just ignoring it. All that is on my website are my genealogical surnames and I have been thinking of reducing the amount of information there! After all this person could just google my site and realize that it is already mine; what a strange world we live in these days.
I know that another group in China linked to my transcriptions of Blake Wills (possibly they were working for a transcription company!).
