   Can anyone from the USA confirm this? Is this a new scam from there?

   The image they're claiming is in the #PublicDomain for almost 10 years already, but I'm not familiar with USA-based scams.

     @youronlyone Definitely a scam, I've gotten similar emails before. I don't think there's anything uniquely US-based about it. The giveaway is "simply removing the image will not suffice"; no actual cease-and-desist would expect that. They're trying to get linkbacks from reputable sites for SEO.

     @gcvsa Hah! Thank you very much. I already started checking my my image source list where I got them and the license, etc. just in case. Glad to know it wasn't real. 🙇🏽🙇🏽🙇🏽

     @gcvsa That was a very good read. The only reason I asked is because I knew I used a PD image and have a record when I first downloaded it, and where I got it.

     But still, they got me to start preparing just in case.

     It's so hard to keep up with all these scams. 😭
