I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
domain squatter demanding ransom. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?
Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
