Last year I purchased an adult domain from a user here on this forum. A few months after I purchased the domain I received an email from a church group that stated I was using their name to sell porn. After attempting to figure out how this was happening I went and searched Google. I found that some of the backlinks that were indexed showed things like this:

[nourl]www.myadultdomain.com/Jesus-Christ-Church-of-God/[/nourl] (replace jesus-christ-church-of-god with the name of a person affiliated with the group that contacted me.

Then recently, I had a completely different party contact me in the same manner with the same kind of issue. They are threatening to “have their lawyer contact me” and I am curious as to what they can actually do. This domain is parked and does not have any adult pictures of any kind (just PPC links to adult sites). Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.
