Hello everyone. I got my first ever threatening letter (please see below) and I was wondering if anyone would know what I should do? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I should mention that THEdomainIownDOTonline = ABCXYZ.online
THEdomainIown.ONLINE - Trademark infringement - AABBCCDDEE
Dear Sirs,
On behalf of our client XYZ International we ask your urgent attention to the following matter.
We have been informed that you have registered the domain name THEdomainIown.ONLINE.

.........
Some of the registrations of the ABCXYZ mark are enclosed for ready reference. Note that there are many more all over the world. All owners mentioned in the enclosed list are partners of and often shareholders in XYZ International.
