So much "win" detected....

Matthew Chan:
Good job in helping them avoid become another HAN / VKT victim.  They really should have done something nice for you. It could have become very inconvenient for them.

Extortion-Victim-No Longer:
That is exactly why I bothered! To stop them from abusing another person...Over the phone, I could tell whomever I spoke with that he must of thought I was a 'space case' throwing around words like extortion... but when I provided him proof, he was pretty quick to thank me. It's not the first time I've seen that same Hawaiian lagoon  photo on someone else's website either.

Peeved:
Happen to agree with Matt.......very COOL of you to warn them.

 ;)

Matthew Chan:
Touche'.  You are absolutely right. You could have spoken about it until you were blue in the face and they probably still would not have understood. But simply faxing/emailing that letter spoke volumes. Good call.

That is exactly why I tell people to share their stories and their letters.  They can try to fight, complain, explain, etc. but it seems like anyone has to courage to "come out" and openly tell the world what is going on, the would-be extortionist slinks off quietly.

With more exposure comes more scrutiny.  It is easy to get threaten from within the shadows.  Not so easy in the bright light of day.
