Basically if you have trademarked "moneysavingexpert"
you may have grounds to dispute them registering the domain name on the grounds that it was malicious

All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite enough time considering how their online names might appear...and be misread.

1. Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any celebrity. Their web site is https://www.!!!!!presents.com.

2. Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at https://www.expertsexchange.com.

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at https://www.penisland.net.

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at https://www.therapistfinder.com.

5. There's the Italian Power Generator company, https://www.powergenitalia.com.

6. And don't forget the Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales, https://www.molestationnursery.com. (This one has been changed...and thankfully so.)

7. If you're looking for IP computer software, there's always https://www.ipanywhere.com.

8. The First Cumming Methodist Church Web site is https://www.cummingfirst.com.

9. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky web site, https://www.speedofart.com.

These are all legit! (Except number six...they got wise!)

My cousin lives in Nigeria. PM me and I'll give you the instructions on how to pay him to recover your URL. It's a very simples process and for an additional sum he will also retrieve your stripey shirts from the Pawnbroker.
