  NEVER EVER EVER pay anything to anyone if they are making claims like this.

  Simply respond with “Our legal team’s process requires a filed Cease and Desist to be sent directly to them with specific references to infringements based on your claims. Once they have received this, the offending content will be immediately rectified.”

  Even if it’s your personal website. Don’t even fucking bother with these people and waste your time and money worrying about it, be sure this is the very first step in any legal action over public content. They can’t just jump to suing you or demanding money.

    Or in the present case, just never go to LinkedIn.

      Just putting it here because they will spam the shit out of any domain registrar emails not hidden as well.

      In this particular case, they were smart enough to actually have business emails on hand for the threat, knowing they’d never actually attempt to actually email this threat to any mail server as they would get filtered immediately.

  That behaviour really, really is shady. And I will never touch anything they have published further on.

  That was an excellent long read. Great investigation and handled relatively well at the professional level.
