Who is this they say about someone registing my company name?

Was called at this number by a Katie Donovan claiming to be from the UK Register of domain names and that our domain was being registered under .co.uk and .net.  Sounded like a scam to me.

Talked to Nominet (the body responsible for the .uk TLD) and they confirmed they don't call to "warn" users when someone attempts to register an existing domain in a new TLD.

I had a missed call from this number this morning and checked it out on google and found this forum, Thought I'd call them back as I enjoy making sales people squirm lol, but when I did it wasn't what I thought, to cut a long story short, I recently had to sack a member of staff as they were up to no good, And then the little swine decided to try and register my business name online and direct it to one of my rivals! They couldn't officially tell me who it was but with the questions I asked and the answers I got back from them gave me no doubt it was him (Im Ex CID so have my ways of getting answers lol) they sorted it all out for me anyway at the price of £10 a year, I would have paid £100 just to take that smile off his face lol, anyway just to let you know my experience with them was fine, and after checking £10 a year is actually very competitive so even better :-)

i too had a missed call from these guys, pretty much the same thing as everyone else has said, however, i didnt believe them, and was having none of it, next day the name was showing as registered, i clicked to see who it was, and it was the firm down the road that had registered it......they are now going to help me try to get the name back...for free..although there are no guarantees i will be able to get it back....i should have listened, also the company in question registering the names didnt claim to be the UK Register, they were a company called The Uk Registry...seems ok to me.

i too had a missed call, and luckily found this forum, i called them back (i was in their queueing system for quite a while) nice music though.....someone else had gone to them to register my name, hence the call, all was ok though as it was a company i had paid to do some marketing of my website for me, which includes buying a lot of domain names, nice to see they check though as it could have been anyone....

I was called from this number by a Jodie Sturnham claiming to be from the UK Registry of domain names and that our domain was being registered by someone with .co.uk and .com suffixes.  They said that what these people do is to try to register our business name and then direct traffic to their sites rather than ours.  How much does it cost to ring an 08435 number?  Is this in itself a scam?

What an interesting thread. Have you all seen this?
