Unless there's more to this story, it's a big fat "trust me, because I said it happened" story.<p>I have no horse in this race, and do not use Vercel - but there's zero evidence provided, and the story isn't even first-party. The author even says "I looked at the email so it's valid" aka "trust me".<p>Seeing the author's twitter account is filled with "look at how great I am, I shipped 18 apps before breakfast" posts - I have no choice but to be cautiously skeptical at the provided claims unless actual evidence is presented.<p>With that said - it sounds like an individual who happens to also work at Vercel may have abused their access and contacted some other party with some sort of cease and desist demand because the app idea and name were similar to theirs.
