    Well what is very odd from what i can see is:

    #1. Why do YOU have to change the whois information? Surely after the domain is pushed his own whois would superceed it, however, if this is not the case, then simply he wants to remain protected, clever!

    #2. Why in gods green earth would YOU change the DNS information in relation to the name servers. That is the responsibilty of the new owner, i have never heard of a case where NS information is set to a new server prior to a domain push. Very strange!

    And finally, have you tried ringing the number he gave on the email, pmsl what an idiot sending from a gmail, would have been half believable if he sent spoofing the owners actual email account, oh well. Least you never lost your domain :D

    While not exactly not to use the trademark in any domain name, there are lots
    of administrative and legal decisions transferring the domain name to the mark
    holder because they were found to infringe their marks. As long as one is able
    to demonstrate trademark rights to the word or so, they can tell a registrant
    either to not put anything on the domain name associated with their mark or
    to transfer it to them.

    It so happens many of them demand the latter option. Up to you if you're okay
    with ignoring them and possibly facing penalties, especially if you're within their
    reach.

    Korrupt may not have to do anything. But UpsideOut can take the next course
    of action to pry that domain name off anyway.

    Again, it may cost money. But for some, it's the principle.

    A trademark holder doesn't even need to notify you before they sue you and they are under no obligation to send a letter. You don't always get a warning, nor the ability just to give the domain up and walk away from legal action.

    If someone doubts the authenticity of the email, they could make a phone call or email the company directly.

    Hmm, I wonder what happened?

    Must've followed his father's lawyerly advice to transfer, I guess.

    I see. Good thing you weren't dealing with some merciless trademark holder, as
    others could've done worse.
