Ok, here is the situation.

I bought some coins online and pretty given the most lowest grade of what I thought I was purchasing. At most, I was mislead. REALLY mislead. To explain it perfectly, its like they told you that they will sell you oranges(And like thousands of people who viewed that page are assuming they will get nice oranges because they have been in the business for decades or so they say) and what you got is the WORST orange you can get. After I got the item, I started going into a coin forum and started telling everybody about what happened to me. I even wrote "STAY AWAY FROM THEM! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!" because I was so angry that I got scammed. It was an outburst. Mind you, that these people seems to know what they are doing as far as misleading people. As soon as I said that in a forum, I got an e-mail from their lawyer to stop spewing lies if I dont then they will sue me for defamation of character or whatever it is they can charge me with. They keep telling me that they are a million dollar company and they even had their lawyer e-mailed me that threat, they also keep saying that they are only a few businesses that are partered with google checkout which I assume makes them a business that doesnt scam people.

These guys have been threatining people who have a bad deal with them of lawsuits and people actually get scared and stop speaking bad about them until the next person who get "mislead". Can I actually get sued from what I did?.

Also, the company is in CALIFORNIA and I live in CANADA.
 
I am very sorry to hear about your story and don't doubt there is a false impression. But what is it? If someone says I'll sell you an orange, sight unseen, it's your job to ask the condition of the orange. Now there is nothing wrong with telling people that you think it's a scam because if you think you're getting an edible orange you're wrong - it's one step above rotten. That's truth. The lawyer can yell and scream back. But I really don't know what the lies are as I haven't heard any, just that you thought you were getting better grade coins.
