A slow heist by Chinese spammer/scammers to use a popular domain name. This is clever and in direct contrast to the usual gobbling up of domains for spam/scam purposes as soon as they expire at the peril of a forgetful owner.

In hindsight, I overshot. But not by much. I considered their retraction to be in poor taste and poor faith. All it would have taken is a counter-offer to realign the discussion.

Within the United States, you will have a hard time finding a company with a traditional pension system. Almost all use 401(k) or similar retirement systems. If it is a scam, it is a well-supported scam.
