Need Help !!
Hello people,
I got a mail exactly similar to this
Urgently-Huffingtonpost Domain names Announcement on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Just the domain name is changed to one of my companies.
Should I take it seriously or is this some sort of scam?
Anyone got same or similar emails?

Indweb is right, it's just a scam. Do NOT respond to the email. If you respond, there are many potential consequences: eg: email could contain a virus, it could steal personal information about you, it will know its a live email address and then keep on spamming you!

Re: Need Help !!
domainerin,
Unfortunately, these type of domain scams are common and have been going on for years.
The scammers use many different angles. They try and get you to register a domain, use an appraisal service or respond to fake renewal notices. I'm sure they use many other angles!
