Thanks for the reply. I am California-based so the outrageous reports I hear are caused by California law. Hence, I am at risk from Lawyers of Ill Repute.
Actions Will Be Taken.
While it would be nice to assume this is a Good Samaritan pointing out a problem with a page I link to, my suspicion is otherwise. A Good Samaritan would not hide behind a cloak of invisibility.
Anyway. This post is now accessible to search engines and hopefully will help the next person who gets a cryptic email from a bland facade.

Former naïve Good Samaritan here who has learned to be a lot more circumspect. I have Baggage on this topic. I have deleted a multiple paragraph rant about all my Baggage. (You are welcome.)
Good Samaritans who have been burned enough learn to pack a cloak of invisibility for survival purposes.
That doesn't prove they aren't nefarious actors, but their cloak of invisibility is also not evidence of nefariousness. It might just be evidence that they have been around the block a time or two and have gotten a clue about a few things.
The charitable interpretation might be that I intend to do something about the issue. I'm sorry that I was a bit cryptic when I responded "Actions Will Be Taken." Perhaps that led you to an inference that I am a crusty dinosaur who could care less about those around me. It's not the case.
The problem I face is that I have a fairly vanilla WordPress site and I run a small business. I need to be careful, even if I am with good intentions doing the best I can.
Long ago there was a law firm here in the Los Angeles area (across the street from my old offices, in fact) that made a small fortune pursuing small businesses for ADA infractions (real or otherwise). It was cheaper for these small businesses to pay the Danegeld than fight. Later these lawyers were disbarred.
I have seen similar patterns with other predatory groups of lawyers. The foreclosure crisis of 2009-2010 had them. This is one of the advantages of having existed on the planet for a few decades -- seeing patterns.
People who behave like copyright trolls exist in other areas of life. Our job as humans, here for a transitory moment of the universe, appears to be simple -- be kind and helpful to each other, and stay alive. I am trying to do both.

Thank you for this insight.
Is complying with civil rights law a viable alternative?

My initial remark was premised on charitable interpretation and encouragement toward making the site accessible. That seems a dead end.
