I got the below email today. Is this real or fake. Should I be concerned about this. Please guide me through this.

Dear Manager,

We are a domain name registrar centre in Asia, which mainly deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally. We have an important issue to confirm with you.

On the Mar. 21, 2011, we received an application formally. One company named "Bovny Co., Ltd." wanted to register "smitragauges" Internet keyword and domain names.

After our initial examination, we found that the keywords and domain names applied for registration are as same as your company's name and trademark. If you do not know this company, we doubt that they have other aims to buy these domain names. Currently, we haven't finished the registration of "Bovny Co., Ltd." yet. In order to avoid the vicious domain name grabbing, please let the relevant person make a confirmation with me via telephone or email as soon as possible. Thank you for your support to our work!

Best Regards,
Jasmine.Chen
