Story: Audio Equipment Manufacturer Threatens Amazon Reseller With 'Mandatory Jail Time'

This one was a real head scratcher. Some guy bought a pair of Velodyne headphones on sale and then sold them on Amazon for the regular price. He then got an email supposedly from a firm called "Sock and Bruster Internet Policing Services Inc. LPC, Legal Prosecution and Collection Agency" (who apparently don't even exist) with all kinds of threats. Here's an excerpt:

"We are forthwith enlisted our services to protect price integrity by seeking public fractures and selling contract terms and illegal selling of products by unauthorized distributors and dealers on the internet in the USA and overseas."

Public fractures? Whoa! Pretty wacky stuff.
