Someone is trying to register .cn domains for one of mine eg. mydomain.com they try to register mydomain.cn / mydomain.com.cn / mydomain.net.cn etc. What would the purpose of this be? Assuming of course I am not knowledgeable about domains.

Are they actually registered or did they tell you they own them in email? Many times it's a bluff to get you to send money.

A domain registrar emailed me asking if I was affiliated with a Chinese company wanting to register all these domains.
