domain british telecom 118500

[Badger]

registered 118500.net (the british telecom new directory service telephone number). They own the .co.uk version but i think they should have gotten the dot net also??

Being reasonably experienced, you can forget the reminders over TM issues for I am aware there could be a problem.

30 type ins a day.

Value anyone??

I dunno about ™ issues ... would you try to approach them and ask them if they'd be interested, IYHO? :talk:
Appears they own the ".COM" here, as well.
All the best!

Bit scared to death Jeff to be honest... Got it redirected to, as ever, my poker affiliate site (£1750 earned month to date ) so I have kinda given up selling my domains for now.

Just wondered on the value??

 

[Badger]

more scared now with 40-50 type ins a day.... oops

Is there an equivalent website for UK trademarks? That's what's relevant to this case.

 

[Badger]

yeah there is.. UK Patent Office. http://webdb4.patent.gov.uk/tm/text/

And no listing for the name either current or pending - so thats a start. And I dont know how much water a TM holds for a set of numbers, anyone??

Mind you, it seems like it doesnt matter now as it appears that ive just received what can only be described as a badly worded, mis-spelt, grammatically incorrect, dyslexic version of what, i guess the author intended as, a C&D email.

Your in direct violation of an international patent held by British
Telecommunications PLC for the 118500 service offered (see
118500.co.uk), under the Domain Registration policy I believe you
registered this domain in bad faith, and are using it to directly
confuse consumers who may type in 118500.net trying to get to 118500.co.uk.

Therefor, on behalf of British Telecommunications PLC I am asking that
your site be immediatly redirected to 118500.co.uk, turned over to
British Telecommunications PLC within 7 days, and a $50,000
International Patent infringment fine.

If you fail to do so, this matter can be persued in court; a copy of all
communications will be sent via certified mail to Verisign Global
Registry Services a.k.a Network Solutions the holder of the .net Global
TLD as issued by IANA. You may incure fines and court costs from them as
well, for a direct violation of the domain registry agreement, that you
as well as eNom has to follow.

If you have further questions feel free to reply or call me personally.

Now I wonder who might have sent me that....??

routed around Middletown New Jersey from Englewood Colorado.

Unofficially I would say ignore it seeing as it has NOTHING to do (at least this email) with England or british govt.

 

[Badger]

Thanks Lee,

checked with british telecom who were 'bemused' to say the least, so I have lodged a formal complaint with comcast (who appear as this joker's email provider) and the ifcc at the FBI.

 

[LeeRyder]

Good for you! stand up to this asshat bro.

Glad to know that you have a good domain name

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, yet this recently came to my attention.

Intrestingly enough I have owned [email protected] and have of course been Joshua Brady for as long as I can remember Yet I use 10.127.0.x in my internal network, and I am on the 804-536 NPA/NXX. I also use a different email address if I am going to be an asshat and do something like that, so it would have come from a completely different side of the world.

So if you still have information could you please email it to the address you have and I would be more than eagar to take a look.

Good luck with the domain.

Joshua Brady

The email came from an ex-member of namepros, a certain superdealchris. Hes returned several times under different aliases but each time Jeffs on his case!

He sent that particular email to me after he got upset with me during this thread

http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=49056

Not too difficult tracking him down, he also sent me some kind of laughable threat as a result of all his, well what can i say, total fabricated stories.

Sorry to hear youve had your email account plundered...
