Right, a letter has been sent to my dad informing him of some type of copyright infringement that apparently our household has done. Yes, I download torrents, but its hardly ever for games - mainly things like Beta OS's - Win 7 for example. Heres the details of the letter and why its so weird:
1. Its claiming we have downloaded Call of Juarez - I can hand on heart say I have never heard of this game let alone downloaded it?!
2. The IP address stated to have comitted the fraud is 81.105.230.235 - this IS NOT my IP address.
3. The client / protocol - says BitTorrent. Never used BitTorrent in my life.
Then a few pages of legal rubbish, at the end of which they seem to want to fine me £565. Yeah, £565. For something I have never downloaded, using an IP Address that isnt mine under a client that Ive never used
Is this a real claim or a hoax? Im confused, waiting for my dad to get in (Hes a police officer) to go through it with him. So am I half a grand in debt or is this some elaborate scam?
Need some light shedding on this, could be serious this one.
Thanks guys.
