Today I’ve recived the funniest email ever! Read what this guy is offering me…

content for free. However -For A 1 Time Fee Of $40 – I Will Show You All Those Links And I Will Send DMCA Complaints To All The Websites , I
Wll Also Check The Internet Every 3 Days , If Anyone Had Uploaded It Again I Will Automatically Send A Dmca
Complaint. Kind Regards, Darren I Also Use My Email Address: DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct@mail.com It Speeds Up DMCA TakedownsIf you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Why Should You Let Thieves Download You Content For Free =(

Thanks Bluz, I must have missed that while I was gone, I’ll make sure it gets dealt with.
Edit – Also, please send me the username via my profile page in case the user has registered a new account. Thanks!
Got it too, what a joker

I got the same thing for 2 of my themes from this guy also, I just ignored it.
EDIT : I checked the user’s purchase history and he had just bought my theme 3 days before sending the email. Makes me wonder if he was the one who uploaded it illegally.

I’ve been getting these all week…
I’ve got this too, but for me he offered a bargain price $35. I think I’ll make use of it and laugh in your faces because you have to pay $40.
