Unless you can backup your claim with evidence (that does not require a click through link) then I'm forced to believe that this is a scam, primarily due to the fact that I do not download music, as I am a DJ so I have to buy vinyl for any record I choose to play. Also this is my work e-mail address and if I was to partake in illegal activities, I would not be stupid enough to do them at work or using work accounts. Now can you kindly remove my e-mail address from all your lists otherwise I will be forced to report you to the appropriate anti-scam organisations Regards, Mr Morgan
