The disputed domain name <\/strong><clearstream-global.com> was registered on 10 April 2026.<\/p>\n Although the disputed domain name does not resolve to an active website, the evidence submitted by the Complainant demonstrates that it has been used in connection with the e-mail address compliance@clearstream-global.com to impersonate the Complainant and solicit sensitive identification documents from Internet users under the false pretext of regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering verification.<\/p>\n No information is known about the Respondent beyond the registration details available in the Whois records.<\/p>",

"no_response_filed": " The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its registered CLEARSTREAM trademarks because it incorporates the trademark in its entirety. The additional descriptive term \"global\" considers merely refers to worldwide activities and does not dispel the confusing similarity. The \".com\" generic Top-Level Domain is irrelevant for the assessment under the Policy.<\/span><\/p>\n The Complainant submits that the Respondent has never been authorised or licensed to use the CLEARSTREAM trademark, is not affiliated with the Complainant, and is not commonly known by the disputed domain name.<\/span><\/p>\n The Complainant further argues that the disputed domain name has been used to send fraudulent emails impersonating the Complainant's compliance department and requesting recipients to provide passports, identity cards or driver's licences. According to the Complainant, such use cannot constitute a bona fide offering of goods or services or any legitimate non-commercial or fair use.<\/span><\/p>\n The Complainant submits that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's well-known CLEARSTREAM trademark.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the Complainant, the disputed domain name has been used exclusively as part of a phishing scheme in which the Respondent impersonated the Complainant and falsely requested sensitive identification documents from recipients under the guise of compliance with anti-money laundering regulations. The Complainant therefore contends that the Respondent intentionally attempted to create a likelihood of confusion for fraudulent purposes, which constitutes clear evidence of bad faith registration and use.<\/span><\/p>\n No administratively compliant Response has been filed.<\/p>",
