It seems that once you get the taste of a scam, then you fail, you want more.

As I can't post links to actual articles being a new user, I am basing my opinion on two techdirt dot com articles on Paul Hansmeier of Prenda.

One is "Paul Hansmeier Dismisses Case That His 'Client' Claims Was Filed Without Her Permission" where he claims he represented Lily Poss regarding "Americans with Disabilities Act" cases which Lily didn't know about.

The second is about Paul Hansmeier and the ADA regarding "Team Prenda's Paul Hansmeier Now Suing Companies Over Supposed ADA Violations". An example is where he sues a sports store for having a step at the front door, whilst they have wheel chair access at the back door!

Please feel free to google the above.

"Copyright Trolling" or "Speculative Invoicing", call it what you like, it's a scam. If you fail, claim you represent someone you don't or invent violations to sue.

It would be nice to say that at least in the UK we are not as bad as the US, but *sigh*, we have our scam artists also.
