Yes because most people see a legal threat and panic, without knowing exactly what their rights are. Higbee makes their money by saying poo poo like "if you don't settle this case right now for $600, it could go to court where we could potentially sue you for $4,000,000,000,000,000," and people see that and think "oh poo poo, that's a much larger number, better cut my losses and agree to the smaller amount!"

That's also a bit like those IRS/CRA/Inland Revenue phone scams, where an Indian man threatens to send a SWAT team to your house unless you pay your allegedly unpaid taxes in Google Play cards.

please send this to them next. the first letter in every sentence spells out, lick my taut rear end hole

quote:

Look, I understand that your firm lives and dies by whether or not people fall for your scam. I won't be one of them. Can't you get that through your thick skull? Kindly tell your boss that he can shove this fake lawsuit up his loose, geriatric man-hole.

My site has nothing to do with Imgur. You should be going after them, but you won't, because you know they aren't an easy target to extort.

The next time you send me an email, I'll be redirecting your inquiry to my lawyer, Leanord J Crabs. And I tell you what, if you think I'm unreasonable, you should wait until you meet him. Unless you're into that kind of thing, I don't judge. This is your final warning.

All I'm asking is that you consider your weak position here. Still, you're welcome to take this to litigation. Somehow, I get the impression that the judge will dismiss your case with extreme prejudice.

How your firm stays in business is beyond me. Only an idiot would think your accusations have any more foundation to them than a house of cards built on the beach. Living an iniquitous life of preying on the mentally impaired is truly sinful. Even Jesus would have a hard time forgiving you.

Yours in Muhammad,

I can see that. I'm guessing he hires a bunch of naive just-out-of-college students to do all of the ground work and then it'll get escalated if she can't handle it or there's any sort of problem.

But she chose to work there and if is a student of law should know drat well what she's doing. And honestly is getting a very good lesson.

I don't know how these things work though. :shrug:

Could/can you spot a suspicious scam at age ~26? Being trained in the field of law at an accredited university. Unless you went to a diploma mill, well then point stands. I guess I’m presuming his staff have legal training oops. Even if not, lol she’s really dumb on the law she’s trying to project as a part of her job.

Point taken.

I think an actual professional would have responded like... look I know where this is going so I'll I'm forwarding this and we'll see you in court... or some bullshit. She's going back and fourth since she's offended because she's incompetent which for all of is just, well it's just something special.
