Re: WARNING: BitTorrent Users Beware Of Scam Going On

Be sure to read our tips on how to visually spot MalwareMalwarebytes Anti-virus / Anti-malware and scams like these: Clicky

I see some stuff in those screenshots that are dead giveaways, just as our tips say, here are a few:

  • Use of "scary buzz words". In this case the words "Cracked" and "Pirated".
  • Bad spelling / improper grammar. "Copyright fund has recieved report ...", they spelled received wrong, and gramatically it should be "The Copyright fund has received the report ...". Also, "You'll recieve subopena in a week", again, spelled recieved wrong, and also subpoena. And gramatically it should be "You'll receive a subpoena in a week". There are many more shown too ... like "passes" instead of "passed".
  • The sense of "dire emergency" it portrays, that you need to take action NOW, and send them money or you're screwed.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts though, there are tons of people who fell for and still will fall for this ...
