Q: Im one of the defendents, I have literally no idea about this..
This came to my email out of the total blue... I actually thought it was a scam at first, apparently not... I feel like just ignoring it bc ive never even heard of this association nor live in NY... And I absolutely won't pay money to "settle" for something I didnt do.. In fact, it even has my first name written as Steven, when my name is John....
I just dont have time to deal with this, but I also don't want any problems, How do I handle this, I know nothing about law, or the court system....
A: What makes you think it's NOT a scam? From what little information you give, it looks like it's probably a scam.
A:
It could be a poorly edited form cease-and-desist letter. Run it by a lawyer, since we can't see the letter here on the Justia website. If it is legitimate and you don't respond, you could wind up with a bigger problem.
Good luck!
