Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Copyright Infringement Claim

I recently received a similar letter. However mine was a very odd situation. I am using a plugin that pulls photos and displays them from Instagram based on whatever hashtag I want to show photos from. So basically a Instagram user took a photo of a supposedly copyrighted photo and posted it on Instagram. My website then showed that photo for probably 30 minutes (popular hashtag) but yet I am the one they are trying to get pay $500. I am curious from the others that received this letter, what ever happened? Did you ignore it, pay it, how did you respond, and how did they respond? Seems like a scam, but I did call and talk to a human, so I'm not sure now... Thanks!
