[ale] ATT email about some RIAA stuff

[Lightner, Jeff]

You might also want to examine the headers of the email to verify it actually came from AT&T.

Any email that tells me I have a problem I didn’t know I had and then suggests I can fix it by paying a fee to someone immediately makes me think it is spam/phishing.

Speaking of which – Unicef Australia is offering to pay me $3000/month to process charity payments.  I’ll be rich soon…

ignore it. it's the Copyright Alert System. you'll only run into issues if it's your 5th or 6th strike.

Friends:

I received an email from ATT saying that some RIAA guy thinks I am sharing some program especially some.mp3 file.

I searched my Mac, my daughter's Dell laptop and my spouse's laptop for that file.  I found nothing with that name.

I searched multiple times but nothing.

We dont do any kind of P2P software (not knowingly atleast) but they are sending us this.

What are my options ?

Take the tutorial as ATT suggests, I dont like this.

Do the independent review as said in the email, but costs me $35 and I am not sure what this gets me.

Leave ATT and go to Comcast (they are the only two providers in my area)

Choose a Cell Phone provider based SIM kind of an internet access over 4G I guess.

Use a dialup  based connection but I dont have phone connection at home.

Any other ideas, are welcome.

Please help.
