I have to agree with Jerry.

Again, don't respond.  It really amazes me that people are still giving advice telling people to write back.
Do not contact the (actual) photographer if you've infringed.  Doing so can cost you if he/she finds out who you are.

Additionally, do not answer any spam or trolling emails.  If they feel a "nibble on their fishing line", they'll be after you immediately.

Keep in mind that even innocent people have paid tens of thousands of dollars to defend themselves, even when they were innocent.
Look at the Righthaven cases.  If these trolls don't know who you are, or can't contact you other than email, I wouldn't say a word.

Thank you very much for your words! I guess after deleting the image, then I don't have to do anything at all!

Will give you guys update if any follow-up email(s) was sent though. Again, thank you so much!
