It's fraudulent. You'd have to claim under oath/affidavit that you believe the people you are suing are in fact infringing on you copyright, and that you have suffered a monetary loss as a result. As you know with certainty that neither of those statements is true you'd be committing perjury and fraud.

There is a lot of fraud in DMCA takedowns already. If none of it has been punished, that tells you something about the risk of such fraud.
