    I have a site that links to bots/cheats which are NOT stored on my server.

    I get an email from the company saying the following:

    Hello from COMPANY NAME,

    I work within Community Management for the massive multiplayer online
    game GAME NAME (www.GAMENAME.com).

    I have discovered that your website at MY_WEBSITE undertakes
    or facilitates the distribution of bots / macros to enable cheating at
    GAME NAME.

    Such behaviour damages our game and infringes our intellectual property
    and other legal rights.

    Please contact me within 7 days to confirm that you will stop this
    activity.

    Otherwise I will pass the matter to our lawyers.

    Sincerely

    PERSONS NAME
    COMPANY NAME Ltd.

    Do they have a legit argument?

    Talk to a lawyer, no one here can tell you that.
