Is This Scam or Legit? (Intellectual Propert Infringement Email)

Hi everyone, I received this email from my site's contact form yesterday saying that I have used someone else's photographs on my website without rights, and I have to pay £500 to settle this dispute.

They state that they have contacted me via social media (my site doesn't have any social media accounts) and email (I never received any email from them before) and they didn't get any response.

They also say that they have sent all supporting documents to my office address (even though I don't have an office address and never shared any other addresses anywhere on my site)

They also say that if I pay in crypto I will get %50 discount which sounds very sketchy.

What do you guys think? I honestly think this is a scam but just wanted to get your opinion, thanks.

Cryptocurrency with 50% discount))

I would bet they cannot do anything based on your country but that does look like one of those, "Find a photo and extort" emails.

I'll give you a 60% discount if you pay me instead of them lol, just joking. It's a scam email by a scum company.

I'm not from Europe or North America so they can't do anything to me even if they wanted to.

That's what I thought, they just incorporated a business and are basically trying to scare people to make some money.
