Hi!
I bought an expired domain name 1 month ago and parked it to profit from the remaining traffic.
I just got an email saying that the domain name is a trademark and that I can be exposed to pursuit for more than $77,000!
After a quick search this is actually true, the domain name is a trademark but the name is very generic (withouth revealing too much it's like CarInfoNet).
How can I be sure the guy is not a scammer?
Is this $77,000 threat real?
How do you deal with that kind of threat?
I was thinking of asking him a little amount and then transfer the domain with escrow service but I make A LOT of money with the domain and want to be sure the threat is legitimate.
I don't have a lawyer and sure don't want to go that way...
Thank you for your help!
