question Facebook messaged me

[Sheries11]

Today, I received a message from Facebook legal department, regarding a domain name that I own which is like : ***ofacebook.com

They said : domain name may be infringing on a trademark for Facebook, and i should respond early for importance.
--

I believe that the domain name is *** of acebook ( acebook is not a trademark ) i replied with this part included, and I asked if they would want to buy it.

Any thoughts?

The message they sent is :

Your domain name or the content on your website may be infringing on a trademark and/or violating local laws or regulations. It is important that you respond at the earliest

--

I replied to them wondering what do they want, and I'm waiting for their reply .. that is it.

this domain is trademark to facebook You must delete it immediately
And according to property laws, Facebook can fine you

 

[NameBuyer.com]

Would they prefer to pay 5000 : 10000 of dollars suing me? while I'm fine selling it for a $1000 ?

I think what typically happens is they'll file a UDRP by simply copying the prior complaint they filed against a cybersquatter/typosquatter, and replace the domain in the old complaint with your domain, and pay the $600-$1,000 ADRForum fee or WIPO fee. There is no incentive to pay the registrant.

They can also file the same UDRP for 20 domains at the same time, if registered by the same registrant.

They will be asking you to turn over the domain or get the UDRP. We are not scared we just respect trademark law unlike you.

Don't need to waste anymore time with him.
Let him sell to Facebook for $1,000.

Good luck! And you do need a lot of luck!!!

don’t delete your account.... I want you to come back with that check and prove everyone wrong!

All the members here give you the best advice. What do you mean by positive comments? Something that can be a justification for your act? No way.

In this forum if you are wrong then other members will hit you on the head and tell you "You are wrong!"
That's because we don't want something bad happen to fellow domainers. You better learn how to listen to others.

Wait are you trying to get away with it by saying it's "acebook" Lol. That's not how it works.

names that include famous trademarks are bad investments more often than not. It took b*lls to offer to sell it to them but if they decided to sue you, you would have to spend much more or you could lose by default and then they could collect from you. Unless you are elin musk, fb has much deeper pockets.

Why register something with so much risk?

Not a wise investment of your money.

the name is like word+of + acebook.com .. not like word + of + facebook ..
while most of the other domains which got sued are like facebook-something.com ..

However I used the domain for the purpose of ranking only, its redirecting to another website article .. i didn't ever think they will check on me .. I'm not effecting them in any way .. at all.

i don't know what will happen next. i'm not too worried like peopl here are .. my intention was very simple really .. ill just see what will happen.

I ONLY THOUGHT there could be experienced people here who had THE VERY SAME EXPERIENCE or closer to it at any time in their life ..

However the domain is hand registered for few $$

well technically he could if he developed a brand and called AceBook...

 

[SuperBrander]

It can also be word + of + AC + eBook. So an eBook related to air conditioning. All jokes aside though... you're using Facebook's trademark. Playing coy by pretending you meant acebook is foolish. Stop trying to profit from companies' trademarks and move on. Good luck.

Spoiler: Faceboo

B. Identical or Confusingly Similar
The Panel finds that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to the Complainants’ Marks.

The disputed domain names are confusingly similar the Complainants’ Marks because the disputed domain names contain the exact Mark (or the Marks altered by a single letter) preceded or followed by dictionary terms. For example, the disputed domain name <faceboopizza.com> omits the letter “k” from the Mark FACEBOOK and adds the dictionary term “pizza.”

You can't just runaway with acebook. You even have "F" behind the Acebook.
According to this case you will lose.

Stop this stupid "I'm innocent" game.
