My advice to OP is to ignore everything they send you. If you confirmed receipt of it or not, It's not a certified letter and you don't really know who is emailing you or why. It might be someone phishing for your data to do some identify theft or do use this data after to do bank account changes on affiliate programs you work with. You have many, many reasons to believe that it could be a scam.

The police doesn't work like that. If they needed to contact you, they would subpoena your domain registrar or host for your information and send you a letter.
Incorrect: American judgement stands in Australia and is collectable.

I would have to counter sue, especially since I can prove the judgement was based on untested statements and basically lies.

I have no idea if the OP is in that position or not.

Certainly any "Ignore It" advise is wrong.
