Is this genuine or a scam?

[cliveant]

I have rec'd the email below and thought I'd run it by you.....my concern is whether it is genuine or a scam....some of the grammar looks a bit suspect to me.

Our organization received a formal application from a company who is called
Menston Ltd are applying to register "***************" as Internet keyword
and wireless keyword.

The internet keyword can be typed into IE address bar and go directly to
assigned website, it do not need "www." nor ".com", ".net", etc,Can be used
all the world's browsers .It is most important.

The wireless keyword is the latest products on the Internet, It can be
through SMS or WAP, and 3G fast access to sites, To improve website ranking
and traffic. It is more convenient and more important

In order to prevent cyber piracy,Please explain:
1: Whether this company is your IT supplier or distributor.
2: Whether you are interested in registering these keywords first to
preservation your company’s brand.

We are now obligated to inform you this issue ,So we will handle the next
step after this audit procedure. Pls understand.



Best regards

Also, this new product "wireless keyword" should put a red light on.

I used to receive a lot of emails similar to this, until I applied a new filter.

Does anyone have any thoughts to why/how they would have obtained my address?
-or has someone I've signed up to just sold off my personal information?

But note the illiterate manner to which it is written.
Definietley a scam.

Don't try to reply on such an email. They'll put your address to their database as an active and they'll just flood you with spam.
