Has anyone had any dealings with this company?

I had a threatening email today from "someone" (not affiliated with them) saying my listings have been reported to them and I should remove all the listings.


Sounds like a disgruntled buyer using a real form to intimidate. Anyone have any comments? Or how I can check the email senders credentials via I.P address/lookup etc?

Is it just your competitor trying to remove you from the market?

[tomkat200t]

Thats what Im thinking yes, as they've seen my website and ebay shop. This also comes after an ebay users sends me a message about selling bootlegs just days before so I think its just someone making trouble. They dont even ask IF I have permission to sell them, just they've reported them and to remove everything before criminal charges are placed and that takedownpiracys lawyers will be in touch. Ive had official companies approach me to takedown material on both platforms via legit email addresses, which Ive complied with.

[a1ferov]

Because if its really owner of right they will write to eBay at once. Not to you

The one company contacted me via ebay messaging and it really was them (its a smallish company) and their info did check out but this person's doing it on behalf OF someone which is why its dubious. Is there anyway to get more info about the person via their name or IP address? Ive tried Googling etc but not much luck really. Thanks for your response.

If there is not much info found via google, this also helps point out to the "potential ⊗⊗⊗⊗ credentials" as well

HI there, thanks for replying to the messages. Please find a copy of the email received below, along with their email address and IP addresss:
..

I am emailing you to inform you that your illegal listings on eBay and elsewhere are currently being investigated by Nate Glass at takedownpiracy.com for illegal copyright theft and illegal recordings.

It would be in your best interests to remove all bootleg material, before criminal proceedings begin. NJPW, AJPW, Stardom and more have been informed as copyright holders of the illegal sales, and may seek reimbursement for their stolen material. Any further sales are likely to strengthen their case.

All is informed in good cause. Nate Glass' lawyers will be in touch in due course.

Regards,

James Haak

The e-mail is hardly professional....

[walkingupwards]

The website is very shady and the way they approached tells me it is just an individual or a group of sellers trying to push competition out.

don't worry about it. i have seen sellers getting away with selling these kind of stuff which cannot be hardly taken down. for example, i know many sellers selling straighttalk wireless refill cards and supposedly only walmart is authorized selling refills. there's nothing they can do. many attorneys, and law firms do not bother with the big giant. just put the guy in your block listed inside ebay and put a check mark that says to not let them send you messages either. simple is that.
don't even engage in the conversation.

[tomkat200t]

appreciate the replies y'all

[james13v]

ok, but, ARE you selling bootleg items?

[SaiJin]

Sigh another competitor who can't play nice and mind their own damn business.

[getstealthed]

ah i had something like that many times. Just ignore it.
But they will start flagging your listing multiple times, so it prob gets removed if its something shady.
Otherwise, ignore it.
