Doelani,
You are a star for posting this message, I was sent last night & when I read it I thought it was spam, especially as they sent it at 3.44am in the morning! I then decided to do a "Google Search on ICS Monitoring Team" & was thankfully brought directly to this thread.
Many thanks again.0 -
whats their email......i have an hour to spare adding them to many sites emailing listsIf you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0 -
I can't believe anyone has wasted time on this - it's spam - delete immediately and get on with something more important.0

Please, everyone that suggested replying to this email, or any other dodgy emails, DON'T! If they get a reply, they'll know they've had a hit, a genuine, active email address, which is very valuable to them, and anyone who wants to buy a list of email addresses off them. Prepare for a lot more spam!

Had same email today, looked up their IP Address, comes up as Comcast Cable Communications, Inc, based in Georgia, USA.
They are an Internet Service Provider, also found an interesting Court Case regarding their missuse of collecting IP data and storage of the URL's (websites) their clients visit, which they link to your IP address and subsequently you.

Not sure how genuine the email is, but have recently downloaded a couple of movies from bittorrents...bit of coinsidence wouldn't you say? Could just be a scare tactic.
Checked the attached file for virus etc, through Norton but came up clean.
Will do some more digging and post any updates. I am with o2 broadband, I wonder if Comcast is their provider.
Very interesting what you discovered about the company behind it.
Cheers again for that.0
