I was selling some items on Ebay when my listings were ended by Ebay stating this company contacted them. I then recieved an extremely rude email from the "attorney" for this company stating I was "blatantly manufacturing/selling counterfeit merchandise".
I have been selling on Ebay for over 4 years and have never knowingling sold anything counterfiet. She requested a ton of paperwork and good bit of money and gave me 7 days to comply. Meanwhile my Ebay account was suspended.
I emailed her back and explained that I did not know what she was talking about and she replied by stating that was a poor excuse and advised that I obtain counsel. I got another email stating that I owe her/her client $1600.
I don't know where she is getting this information from and she is telling me. She is threatening with legal action, attorney fees and initially with up to 20 years in prison and penalties of 2,000, 000,000!!! All that over, as she put it, $1600. Is this for real???
I would have thought if you are an attorney there would be some form of legal documentation mailed out on actual letterhead. Even the email looks very unofficial-not on leterhead. What should I do? I can not afford an attorney as I have been out of work for 3 months now. Help!!
