Some months ago I received a whole series of similar threats. Just don't respond, it will pass. The moment you receive a written letter from a lawyer send by regular mail there is still plenty of time to act. Let the person first proof he/she is a real personality. Don't worry and keep up the good work you are doing. My best, Ed
