I had 3 cheap Rolexes confiscated from me a few months ago when I placed an order on DHgate. Didn’t think too much about it. Got a refund from my credit card company and all is well. Until I received this letter:



Never received anything like this before. What do you guys think? Think Rolex is starting to get serious? Let me know your thoughts.

That’s a cease and desist letter
The kind of passive aggressive letter that lawyers send when they don’t have solid ground to sue

You will see usage of conditional verb, unidirectional statements and « we will hold you reponsible » plus the usual quote of the law

1. Select a particularly noxious curry.

2. Leave it out of the fridge for a week until green and stinking.

3. Ingest enthusiastically.

4. Wait for the inevitable gush of scalding, eye-watering diarrhoea, accompanied by violent yet satisfying flatulence.

5. Use that letter to wipe your steaming butt.

Otherwise I would lay low for at least a while, as others have suggested. Don't give them another reason to take an interest in you.

As someone from the land of laws, I’ll ignore this unless I’m served a subpoena from the court.

Here’s the thing: in the EU, movie studios often send out legal letters to people who torrent films, demanding fines ranging from €1,000 to €2,000. And guess what? I know a former client who’s been ignoring those penalty letters for 15 years — and absolutely nothing has happened.

Now, I’m not saying it’s legal to buy replicas or to brush off their legal actions entirely. What I am saying is that these matters are typically civil actions, meaning enforcement is up to the companies themselves — not law enforcement — unless you’re caught smuggling replicas in your suitcase at the airport.

Take down this letter or redact it
There is enough information on it for someone who has the original copy to retrace it back to you. And connect with this thread.

It's already redacted and the text from the letter seems to be a very much reused template.
