That sounds incredibly stupid. Can I just start a spamming operation where I "allege" people owe me money and hope they don't respond within 30 days?

- DanBC 10y agoYou'd be declared a vexatious litigant at some point, which puts some blocks on what you can do.
- mikeash 10y agoAs others have noted, this is a thing some scammers do. It's probably tough to turn a profit after paying court fees, service costs, and trying to collect. And if anyone decides to give you a hard time (because you accidentally targeted a lawyer with too much free time, for example) then you could end up in a world of hurt.
- jacquesm 10y agoYes you can, if you're willing to drop a few 10's of bucks on stuff from ebay, which is exactly what this guy did.
