We got a letter from c2cresources.com with an invoice demanding money for a copyrighted image they said was on our website. The contact person was John McDougal in Metarie, LA, 866-495-0050.
Called the fella who turned out to be a loud, abusive, threatening nutcase who was incapable of speaking normally. He told us that he would ask the questions, not us and just send the money, or else.
What money? Or else what? He then began humming some sort of weird tune and said, you'll find out.
Apparently this is some type of new scam that attempts to circumvent due process by sending bogus letters about copyright infringement along with intimidation and harassment by phone.
There has been no contact at all from any copyright holder, nor any court judgement concerning image usage. Out of the blue we get a letter demanding payment for a image usage from this "company."
The "CEO" Todd Tinkler wouldn't speak with us and hasn't called back. Searching online finds numerous indications that he, his "company" and his employees are very unethical to say the least.
