Email I got the other day. Scare tactic I think. Bouncer has gotten one as well. Anyone else?



Dear (Email address - I removed it),

You have been detected as a corrupt fileshare user and we have detected you have downloaded illegal files and legal action is to be taken. We will contact you by phone or post soon to arrange court dates and suitable prosecution.

Or maybe they spelt it right and we just don't know what it means.

If you were going to be informed of prosecution, I doubt they'd let you know by e-mail.

Someone's been messing with SR user's e-mails, I was CC'd in an e-mail purportedly from me telling Lil Ginge she'd been banned. Worryingly, the -email was sent from [email protected] so it's one of those Manic Mail things.

Plus, Sharman Networks are Australian, so if it came from Kazaa_Europe - it's a load of crap.

Must be a prank as Sharman Networks, the people who own Kazaa are not going to sue their users. Plus it is the RIAA that is filing lawsuits. And when someone sues you, you get served papers, not an email that can be faked.

IP addresses change every time you connect to the net, apart from a few ISPs who provide a static IP (notably Freeola), but the vast majority are dynamic IPs.

Your IP could link you to your ISP e-mail address, but not a hotmail one.

And, once more, the RIAA have no jurisdiction outside of the USA.
