Skin Clinic Threatening Legal Action over Negative Review – Possible Scam?

Hello, Reddit community in Japan,

I urgently need your advice on a concerning situation involving a skin clinic in Ueno. My wife left a negative review about her experience as a campaign monitor for their service. In response, the clinic is threatening legal action, demanding money (35000円) to be paid the same day (today), and asking for the review to be deleted.

“口コミ削除の上で、35000円を上記口座に2024/2/2までに振り込みを行ってください”

My gut feeling is that this might be a scam, especially considering the demand for money and the threat of legal action. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation or heard about such behaviours with clinic in Japan? Are there any legal experts who can shed light on the legitimacy of such claims?

Your insights and advice would be greatly appreciated as we navigate through this challenging situation.

Thank you in advance for your help.
