Thanks everyone for the fast responses.
These line these guys are using is that they have had an
enquiry from "another interested party" who is interested
in registering your company domain name.  

They need their answer within a week and it costs $595.
They will give you 24 hours to think about it and call you
back.  Its very very hard sell.

I mentioned .pokey and got a nervous laugh and immediatly
was passed on to the more technical dude.

Our final response was call us back when your accessible to
me without changing my top level root servers.

I hope people don't support these guys.  The last thing 
the internet needs is more confusion about how to find 
australia.
