Fwd: URGENT Notice of Internet Intellectual Property Rights "Fedoraproject" Dispute in China
Dear spot & legal team,
Not sure how trustworthy this email is -- after all, how did they somehow think I'm the "CEO" of Fedora Project? -- but if there is indeed a company trying to register Fedora domains then we probably want to take a look.
Best regards,

I've received a couple of these for various domains I own, and I'm pretty sure that other Fedora folks have received them as well. It's just a scam.
