3 transferred

Policy

Nominet DRS

Scope

Nominet DRS; support-site impersonation; evidentiary limits; hosting changes

Public attribution

User-confirmed; Nominet public decision does not identify representatives

Evidence summary

Record included Yahoo-branded remote-support sites, a defective disclaimer, allegations of remote-access fraud based partly on a separate .com incident, alleged pattern registrations, and repeated movement between hosting providers after legal advisers contacted hosts.

Panel finding

Expert found Rights and Abusive Registration and ordered transfer of all three domains. The expert found confusion/disruption clear, but expressly noted that evidence of illegitimate activity was not directly linked to these domains/respondent, that the pattern evidence did not sufficiently connect the specific domains to other registrations, and that hosting-provider changes were not a significant factor.

Qualification

Jonathan directly confirms this was his matter. The published Nominet decision does not identify representatives. It may be cited as one of Jonathan's matters based on owner confirmation, but do not state or imply that the published decision itself names him as representative.

Domains adjudicated

3 domains adjudicated: yahoocustomercare.co.uk, yahoophonenumber.co.uk, yahoosuport.co.uk
