Before I start let me say that this group has been busted already. This was an amazing story not only in the brazenness of these crooks but it will be interesting to find out in the weeks to come how they were getting their information. This scam involved music downloads where people who had downloaded songs via bit torrent were identified by IP address and then a letter addressed to the IP owner was sent showing the downloads and demanding $495.

Over the last couple of days, I started receiving disturbing reports about a new copyright extortion outfit, “Internet Copyright Law Enforcement Agency.” The con artists behind this “company” have been mass-sending demand letters threatening that those who won’t pay $495 by a certain date, “will be fingerprinted, photographed, and held in jail until you are arraigned in court.”
