UK Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Extortion Letter from PicRights UK
« on: August 20, 2018, 11:26:00 AM »
I had received a few letters from PicRights every few weeks for 2 months or so. Saying the usual "You owe us for this blah blah blah". I began receiving them after I stupidly replied to a previous different extortion copyright type email (CreditReform representing Ryde GmbH) basically telling them to f off.
The letters seem really unprofessional, the language used, the formatting. Even the paper it's printed on seems a bit off.
When Googling "PicRights" 8 out of the 1st 10 results are about whether it's a scam or not...and I'm yet to find anyone, either on this forum or otherwise, who has actually had legal action taken against them.
The letters and emails have since stopped after completely ignoring them (Haven't received one for almost 2 months)
Although I will post on this forum if there are any further developments...
Edit: Of course, I removed the images in question immediately. Just in case...
