COMPLAINANT:<\/p>\n

The Complainant considers the disputed domain name to be confusingly similar to a trademark in which it has rights. The Complainant claims that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. According to the Complainant, the Respondent has never been authorized to register or use any of the Complainant’s trademarks, nor has it been authorized to register or use any domain name incorporating the Complainant’s trademark and company name. The Complainant further claims that the Respondent has not used the domain for any legitimate business or non-commercial fair use purposes, and has not provided any evidence of demonstrable preparations to use the domain in connection with a legitimate offering of goods or services. Instead, the Respondent has used the domain to send phishing emails impersonating the Complainant in an attempt to deceive recipients. Finally, the Complainant considers that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. The Complainant contends that g<\/span>iven the well-known character of its trademark, its reputation and market presence, it is clear that the Respondent must have been fully aware of the Complainant and its trademark. The Complainant further claims that by using the disputed domain name through the sending of fraudulent emails, the Respondent has intentionally disrupted the Complainant's business and attempted to confuse consumers for its financial gain.<\/p>\n
