Cybersquatter Gets Tracked Down By Golfers Dad

Casie Cathrea became the youngest Monday qualifier for an LPGA event at Blackhawk Country Club. A high school freshman who made a hole-in-one on the 155-yard 12th hole during the opening round of a LPGA Challenge found herself vitim of cyber squatter Meng Lee. Her official website is Cathrea.com.

Her father, Harry Cathrea tracked down Leonard Meng Lee who registered CasieCathrea.com and threatened to sue Lee under the Federal Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.

In fact he resided close by the Cathrea family home and Harry went to his door to talk to him.

“It cost him two bucks and he wanted to charge me a thousand dollars”

And he was also nice enough to say he accepts Paypal.” Harry said

Meng Lee who has registered more than 1,300 domain names of famous people, including Eldrickwoods.com. was forced to hand this domain over free of charge.

In a statement to ABC7 Lee said “As far as I know, the name is not trademarked and I was legally in the right to register the domain”.
