I would receive phone calls from a Indian accent caller claiming he was Microsoft. They would tell me that my computer has a virus that was sending unwanted data onto their mainframe. These calls would come at least five times a week with a caller ID: “####-0000.” For a fee they would fix the problem. All I had to do is give my credit card number and let them have full access to my computer. When I said I have more than one computer, they said they would have to charge me for the other computers and give them time to get full access of them.

It was a telephone Phishing scam. I am sure you are being scammed with a email Phishing spam. Report them to your state attorney general.

There are a lot of scammers that do this. Another popular one is to say you used a picture that they hold the copyright too. I always ignore them and have never been sued or paid them.

What does the notification say to do? - cease and desist? lawyer up? destroy the file? - send ‘em a hundred bucks and they’ll forget all about it? - I’m guessing like most everybody else it’s some sort of scam.......

If the notice was an email and is asking you to take some sort of action (i.e 'click here' or some such) then ignore it. If it is legit, they will contact you again.

If it was a letter, then get an attorney's advice. He'll contact the firm listed in the letterhead.
