U S Bank wants USBANKCARLOAN.COM

[URLtrader]

Hi,

I have got an email from U S Bank,s attorneys about my domain name
USBANKCARLOAN.COM

I had done a search for terms with overture count containg Car Loan when I saw that USBANKCARLOAN.COM was available. I registered it.

What are my choices ?

Thanks,

with all the phishing scams going on with banks, credit cards, paypal, etc and the number of trademarks in the u.s. under their name and with additional words, i don't think you will be able to keep this one.

Note the first point: US Bank has the money
Note the second point: US Bank has the power.
Note the third point: You can get in troubles as they have the power and so.
Note the fourth point: Sell it to them.

Sell it to them.

Note the fifth point: They indisputably have trademark rights that precede the registration of this domain name, and can claim up to $100,000 dollars in damages under 15 USC 1125(d) if you try to sell it to them.

If you are going to give it to them I would tell their lawyer to only communicate with you through certified mail. This way incase it is someone phishing for your name this may deter them. Once you get something from their attorney hand it over for sure.
