John, Zahid:
The attached chart may be helpful for you as you discuss the fake renewal issue. This chart documents the many fake renewal/registration claims we have received inside Verizon. Most come from companies located in China or Hong Kong. We’ve sent a cease and desist letter to each, written to the Hong Kong Telecom Authority and the FTC, all to no avail.

John and Zahid,
I probably will not be at the Council tomorrow. Here is the issue that steve mentioned.
I have website client who get fake renewal notices. Or phone calls.
“We have a client who wants to register
name.cn and as you have
name.com and as we are a responsible registrar (actually not accredited) we wanted to check with you first before accepting our client’s order. Do you want to register for 10 years of $$$ ?”
I advise my clients it is a scam, but just to be on the safe side they usually instructs me to make a defensive registration and I do so for one year with another registrar.
Best
