That specific scam does not have to work anymore though. Abmahnungen in Germany are the most stupid and lawyer serving system in the world, but the CC image scam got closed by judges deciding no monetary harm was done. Possible that these lawyers are still trying, but note that the article started 2018.

The linked article also never went to court because they decided to pay instead:

> September 21: After months of silence, we have received another letter from Kanzlei Schröder. This time, they threaten to take us to court unless we pay 400€ by October 1. We decided to pay. That was our last interaction with Kanzlei Schröder.

Do you have a link. I read that recently this specific scam was picking up steam in the US and was concerned about the implications here in Germany.

Yeah, I think https://www.rechtambild.de/2018/09/kein-schadensersatz-bei-c... references the decision I was remembering.
