Transferredlinkedlnjobs.com
In LinkedIn Corporation v. Daphne Reynolds, D2015-1679 (WIPO, 2015), the panel transferred linkedlnjobs.com, which swapped the second 'i' in LinkedIn for an 'l'. The domain was the return address for fake job offers asking applicants to pay 'Interview Security Fees', and that email use was bad faith use.
