Is he Full Of Shit?

Exactly, It's easy to threaten, but you'll find the number of people who actually get an attorney to send out a letter is significantly lower than the original number of people who threaten legal action.
I also had someone threaten to sue me because my ad was using their company name. It turns out their "company name" was also the name of some random town in NY which is what i was using it... i basically told them this and said fuck off. never heard from them again.
Never do anything until you receive a real C&D from a real lawyer.
I've been threatened more times than I can count. I even called the bluff of JPMorgan Chase and they backed down. Simply state that you get fraudulent emails all the time so to ensure they are who they say they are ask for a C&D to be mailed to you on company/lawyer letterhead so that you can properly address their concerns.

Probably not too bad most of the time..That probably makes you seem like more of a badass/professional than the other party almost all the time. If they respond after that then they are probably serious..
Best advice of the thread. I've done this several times in the past. But I would contact an attorney to be sure. Anytime you flat out call someone else's product a scam, you're pissing people off and putting yourself at risk for a lawsuit.
Exactly, 'private' domain rego is bollocks when it comes to something like this, the registrar/host will give your name after a single phone call.
Unless you get real private domain rego - a registrar that does not even have your name and only have your email and are in a country where they cant be forced to give your email address out (which would still be linked to your PayPal..)

He is - THE CACTUS!
You have whois protection and you think that stops him from finding out who owns the site? AHHAHAHAAAAAA!!!! It just means he can't get the info in 30 seconds. Determination will still get that info quickly enough if you need it unless people are seriously tin-foil behatted.
Why chance it though? Unless it's making you money, I'd remove it as the cost is minimal and the potential reward is high.
Did you ever read Robert Greene's "48 Laws of Power"?

Tough spot there mate. I would wait for an official letter if you are making bank. I am guessing he is probably some broke motherfucker blowing a bunch of steam because he is a dipshit that doesn't know how to protect/market his brand.
fuck that guy...
fuck that guy...
I would just back off and drop the product instead of wasting your energy on this loser!
But i don't think his case would hold up in any court of law.

You only have freedom of speech if what you're saying is true. However I believe you can make comments like, "I researched product XYZ and I think its crap because a,b, and c".
However, if its not making you much money, then just move on. Just about anytime you go to court you lose. Only the lawyers really win.

The qustion is are you makeing enough to take the risk. If they sue and you have assets you will have to defend. If you win chances are you willl not be entitled to your attorney's fees. Those alone could run you $10,000 Plus. If they win your out your fees + whatever the Court decides the damages are. Pissing matches are not profitable except for the attorneys. Just make sure it's worth the risk.
