Okay. First off to say I have NEVER illegally downloaded anything.
I received and email from Charter, who I use internet from. It was a notice that I was illegally downloading something. And they posted a copied notice of a complain from some people (or thing) called CEG TEK. Never heard of them. I freaked out. My internet is protected, and my wifi is fairly well monitored. I recently bought a computer. Before we only used the internet for gaming consoles.
When I clicked on the information link, it sent me to a site where it had me log in my case #. When I did it told me I had 10 counts of illegally downloading porn! They wanted to "settle" for $2000, or they would sue me. I started crying and freaking out. I never did anything, I'm innocent. Why the hell should this happen to me? I would pay them the money, if I HAD it! I only make $2 an hour as a waitress. I don't have that kind of money!
Also when I looked at the dates of the pornographic films they are accusing me of downloading, 6 of them were BEFORE I even owned a computer!
I looked into it, and see quite a bit of controversial things all over the internet about this. Some say pay it, others say ignore it. But NOBODY says exactly what CEG TEK is! I don't know squat about them, and am terrified of being taken to court. I know nobody in my home did this, and I know it didn't happen. Is it a scam? Am I being targeted? Can someone explain this to me please?
