I have recently been emailed from someone claiming to represent a company whoms "potential tm issued" domain name I just sold moments prior to the mail. Therefore they thought that I was the owner and when I replied that I no longer owned the name they wanted to know how the name was transferred (if it was sold etc).
I decided not to reply to this email but today some weeks later I got another one reminding me the " I hope you appreciate the serious nature of this matter and agree it is beneficial for all parties to openly share information regarding the domain."
Im thinking of replying to them with a request for them to verify who they are etc, but my question is; is it safe to admit that the domain was sold (if only at a $xx price) or will this pose a potential lawsuit risk as it could be claimed that I made money from their name. Is it better to claim that the domain were transferred for free as a favor or similar, with a risk that escrow would leak the information that it was sold (if such info ever let out btw)..
what is the best way of facing this email, or should I just ignore it again?
best,
Matt
