A few things to note though:
- I do not download anything illegal
- The email address they sent it to isn’t one that I have used to register anything with my ISP
- The Internet Service Provider Consorcium doesn’t exit (Google it), but it sure looks and read like Consortium doesn’t it
There was a very nice zip file attached which no doubt would have asked me for all kinds of personal information. The email address that sent the email is now blocked, and the email is happily erased from the Mac, suggest you do the same if you get a similar email from these bogus people.
