Do not spend 500,000 registered domain names, none of them Transfer out
Lao Fan is the owner of a small fruit business company. A year ago, he received a message inviting him to attend the meeting. The theme of the meeting was originally “supporting small and medium-sized enterprises”, but when he arrived at the scene, Lao Fan discovered that this was a “domain name cybersquatting conference”.
“First, a lecturer, he cited many examples of high-value domain name transfers, and introduced a “.Mobile” domain name. He said that if you hurry up, you must use a mobile Internet connection “” As soon as the lecturer finished speaking, the sales staff followed up. Knowing that Lao Fan was in the fruit business, the salesperson recommended to him the domain name of “China Fruits Official Website. Mobile Phone”, saying that it is “good with Chinese prefix”. 
“The domain name appreciation space is very large” “You will be registered “You can buy it at a high price”… Under the various words of the sales staff, Lao Fan thought that this was indeed an investment opportunity, so he spent 29800 yuan to register the domain name for ten years. Within one month after the meeting, the sales company Tianjin Yusheng Company continued to contact Lao Fan to recommend other “valued” domain names to him. Lao Fan eventually spent more than 400,000 yuan and snapped up 11 other domain names suffixed with “.Mobile phone”, such as “Fruit and Vegetable Net Mall.Mobile Phone”, “Heart and Heart. Mobile Phone” and so on. 
For more than a year, Lao Fan has been fantasizing The domain name in hand is transferred out at a high price, but until now, none of his 12 domain names have been transferred. In a WeChat group called “Mobile Domain Scam”, there are more than a dozen activists who have similar experiences with Lao Fan. They have all been invited to participate in meetings of various names, but the scene is “.Mobile “Domain sales promotion. And the domain names they registered at the meeting, the sameNone of them can be transferred. 
A defender from Zhejiang provided a copy of the meeting The invitation letter stated that the theme of the meeting was “Gathering Innovation Power to Lead the Development Direction”, and the agenda of the meeting was “Experts Explaining How to Make Business on Mobile Phones.” There is no such thing as a domain name. The rights defender said that the site was actually a cybersquatting conference for the “.Mobile” domain name, but because the site was “not allowed to take pictures or record”, there was no evidence of exaggerated publicity from the seller. 
another Xinjiang activist took a sneak shot while attending the meeting A photo of the meeting process. The conference he attended was divided into four parts: “Analyze the enterprise from the perspective of mobile business theory”, “Interpretation of the trend of the integration of business and technology”, “In-depth analysis of the mainstream model of the enterprise’s future”, and “Industry experts answer questions on the spot”. Rights defenders said that the conference agenda sounded very high-end, but in fact it was an “expert” who talked about the prospects for the development of the “.Mobile” domain name, and then the field staff began to promote the domain name.
The “.Mobile” domain name is not highly recognized in the industry, and it is difficult to say how valuable it is.
Introduction to domain name investor Shen Ping, domain name registration mainly involves “Domain name registration authority” and “domain name registration service authority”, “the former is equivalent to the manufacturer of the domain name, the latter is equivalent to the distributor of the domain name, the former needs to entrust the latter to carry out sales business.” In the filing website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, you can It is found that the domain name of “.Mobile” has indeed passed the approval. The registration authority of the domain name is “Beijing Huarui Web Research Technology Co., Ltd.”, but in the column of the registration service agency, it is not possible to find the domain name registration contract with Lao Fan. “Tianjin Yusheng” company name. 
On the filing website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the “.Mobile” domain name registration authority is Beijing Huarui Web Research Technology Co., Ltd.
There is no Tianjin domain Sheng company in the list of domain name registration service institutionsShen Ping said that as a kind of publicity platform, domain names can indeed save a certain amount of promotion costs for enterprises. However, Chinese domain names like “.Mobile phone”, the recognition in the industry is still relatively low, far Not as good as “.com” “.cn” and other common domain names.
What is the value of the “.Mobile” domain name? This is a very difficult problem to define. First, ordinary people It is difficult to find out the transfer price of the “.Mobile” domain name through public channels. On the domain name transfer information platform Bumi Online, you can find the transaction information and market trends of various suffix domain names. But because the “.Mobile” domain name is too niche , So it is not included in this website.
domain name There is no .mobile domain name transaction information on the transfer platform.
The reporter opened the official website of Huarui Research, the “manufacturer” of the “.mobile phone” domain name, Click on the introduction page of the “.Mobile” domain name, and a strong sense of “flickering” pops up.
For example, the slogan “‘.Mobile’ belongs to the mobile Internet, “.com” belongs to the traditional Internet” “”.Mobile” belongs to the mobile Internet has completely subverted the traditional Internet to which “.com” belongs! ”
Another example: “On .com can only reach the mobile phone and cannot be viewed Website, the access experience is poor”.
Slightly understand the Internet People with knowledge can see that these claims are completely “nonsense”.
But just looking at these, it is difficult to determine whether “.Mobile” has been marketed. Approved. The reporter also saw a picture in the development history column of the official website.The description below the film is “Many famous enterprises’ rush registration during the beach rush”. It lists the domain names of “.Mobile” of various brands. 
But through the domain name holder query system, these brands are found Among them, in addition to the “arm”, the “.Mobile” domain names of the three brands “Nikon” and “Anmou” have not yet expired. Other brands such as “autozone”, “Ryoko Fitness” and “Coolpad” all show “unregistered”. 
And “Vip.com. Mobile” “Good e-commerce. Mobile” Although the two domain names are registered, the registrant is not the company corresponding to the brand, but the “Huarui Wireless” company of Huarui.com. 
Shen Ping said that there are two unregistered in the query system may. One is that these brands had never registered a “.Mobile” domain name at the beginning, and the other was that the brand did register a “.Mobile” domain name, but did not choose to renew after expiration. “If it is the former, it means that the promotional image used by Huarui.com is a false promotion. If it is the latter, it means that these brands do not recognize the value of the domain name of “.Mobile”, and after expiry, it is deemed that there is no need to spend any more money.” Protective sequel’.”
The scammers call one by one, but the real buyer can’t find the phone
During the year Laofan held the domain name, His domain name is not completely uninterested. In fact, many companies and individuals have called, claiming that they want to buy the domain name in his hand, and the random price is millions or even tens of millions, which also makes Lao Fan dream of making big money. But every time when the transaction comes, the other party will always ask Lao Fan to do all kinds of certificates on the grounds that the domain name is “lack of certificate” and “lack of certification”. Because Lao Fan didn’t know how to apply for these certificates, the other party also specifically told which company he could find, and Lao Fan spent hundreds of thousands of times in order to obtain the certificate. After the certificate is completed, these domain name “buyers” will invariably find various reasons to cancel the transaction. As a result, Lao Fan still failed to sell a domain name. Among them, some companies that apply for certificates for Lao Fan are simply not found in the national enterprise credit information disclosure system. 
In the national enterprise credit information publicity system, this company simply cannot find
Now, Lao Fan’s certificate for transferring the domain name has been filled with a tote bag. Shen Ping said that no certificate was used for the transfer of domain names, and Lao Fan actually fell into a deeper chain. 
Lao Fan’s certificate for the transfer of the certificate, one No table can be placed
In addition to claiming to buy a domain name, there are often companies looking for Lao Fan to discuss business cooperation. During the conversation between the reporter and Lao Fan, a Guangdong company called and said that he could help Lao Fan build the domain name in his hand and make “5G entrances, four major ports”. The ten-year service fee was 19,800 yuan.
This kind of call can often make several calls a week, and Lao Fan is also very curious. How do those who claim to buy a domain name to discuss cooperation find him? ? During the call, the Guangdong company said that searching Laofan’s domain name directly on the Internet will find Laofan’s phone.
But the reporter found that it is really not easy to find the contact information of Lao Fan on the Internet. Taking the domain name of “Fruit and Vegetable Net Mall.Mobile Phone” in the hands of Lao Fan as an example, first enter the domain name with a search engine. No search result is related to Lao Fan’s domain name. 
And directly enter the fruit and vegetable net mall. Mobile phone in the address bar, A page that says “Buy Hotline” will pop up, but click to open it shows “Join Hotline is under construction”, no phone. 
Because Tianjin Yusheng does not have an official website, reporters can only go through Hua The search system of Ruiwang Research Company searches. Enter the fruit and vegetable net mall. Mobile phone, in the query results, the holder information oneThe column shows “zhuce”, there is not even Lao Fan’s name, and no contact information. 
Lawyer’s statement: “Producers” are also responsible for fraudulent false propaganda
Because Lao Fan was fooled into buying a domain name, Beijing Songying lawyer The firm’s lawyer A Zhigang said that this matter involved “Internet domain name registration contract disputes”, among which the qualification of Tianjin Yusheng Company is a major controversial point. Although the information of Tianjin Yusheng Company was not found on the filing website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, according to Article 20 of the “Administrative Measures for Internet Domain Names”, this company may also be a “domain name registration service agency” not involved in the filing system, which is quite For retailers working with distributors, they can also carry out domain name sales.
“But the problem is that Article 20 of the “Administrative Measures for Internet Domain Names” also states that the domain name registration agency should take the initiative in entrusting it to carry out marketing and other work Indicate the agency relationship, and clearly indicate the name and agency relationship of the relevant domain name registrar in the domain name registration service contract. However, during the sales and signing of the contract of Tianjin Yusheng Company, it did not indicate its agent identity, and the whole process was in its own name. The contract signed by Lao Fan.”
Before, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court had a case precedent, a company named Zhongyu Xintai as an agency, using its own Signed a domain name registration contract with a client in the name, and did not indicate an agency relationship. The court ultimately stated that “the agency’s approach will cause the domain name registration service order to be in chaos, and ultimately endanger the development environment of the Internet and harm the society.”Public interest” ruled that the contract was invalid. A Zhigang suggested that Lao Fan could refer to this case and, according to Article 52 of the Contract Law, claim to the court that the domain name registration contract he signed with Tianjin Yusheng Company was invalid and request the company to return The money in the contract.
Zhao Zhan, deputy director of Beijing Zhilin Law Firm, said Tianjin Yusheng Company was also suspected of fraud when selling the domain name to Lao Fan. When promoting the domain name’Xin Xin Yin. Mobile’, it was declared that Xin Xin Yin is China’s first paper brand, which is inconsistent with the reality. There is no Xin Xin paper industry in the market, and the common tissue brand is Xin Xin. Because of this, Lao Fan bought the domain name precisely because of false propaganda, which made him make the wrong meaning that the company’s behavior was suspected of fraud. In addition, those companies and individuals tricked Lao Fan to apply for various documents on the grounds of purchasing domain names. They are also suspected of fraud. At present, Lao Fan is ready to go through legal procedures and apply to the court to return his money.
The “manufacturer” of the domain name is also responsible. Reporter Xianghuarui After the research company filed an “purchase” domain name application, the company said that it could not carry out sales business, and then another “registrar” will contact the reporter. One of the calls received by the reporter came from “Beijing Jingke Technology” The sales staff of the company said that they received feedback from Huarui.com, and “Jingke.com” is a “domain name registration service.” On the official website of Huarui.com, you can find “Beijing Beijing “Kewang Technology Co., Ltd.” is a partner of Huarui Net Research Co., Ltd., or a “Golden Registrar”. However, like Tianjin Yusheng Company, no information on the “Kingke” company can be found on the filing website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In other words, even the “manufacturer” did not seriously verify the qualifications of the “dealer” that it docked with.
In terms of registration fees, Huarui.com provided ” The official price of the “mobile phone” domain name is as high as 2960 yuan a year, and sales staff will encourage customers to register directly for ten years when they are promoted. In Shen Ping’s view, such pricing is not reasonable.
Huarui.com official website The price of the mobile phone domain name, the cheapest one will be 2960 a year
Commonly used .com .cn domain name, only a few dozen dollars a year for registration fee
Shen Ping said that for commonly used .com and .cn domain names, a year’s registration fee is only a few tens of yuan. Why is the .mobile domain name priced so expensive? “Does domain name pricing should not be entirely a “market behavior”? The relevant departments should implement certain supervision. “At the same time, Shen Ping also issued a warning to investors. Domain squatting is indeed an investment, but it is highly professional and has certain risks. Investors should not blindly enter the market before they have enough reserve expertise. .
