The problem with these fast moving situations is who would actually initiate that expensive legal endeavor. Yelp has a history of preying on small businesses with what is effectively extortion to remove promoted negative online reviews in what are essentially digital protection rackets. You could argue this is RICO territory.
This new pernicious hijacking of contact details is likely to be deployed by other future 'startups' to siphon off profits, so it's important that Yelp gets sanctioned.
