Copyright infringement email

[#1]

Had an email saying that I have made a copyright infringement when watching Lucifer..... Thing is that I have not! I am watching the series via Amazon prime which I have paid for! On top of the poor connection most of the time I am not sure if I will be a customer for much longer! 

[#2]

Who was the email from?

Could it just be someone trying to con you out of some money?

Moderator's note:

Moved to appropriate board.

[#4]

No. Just telling me it has happened and to make sure that our connection is secure 

[#5]

So you made a copyright infringement when watching Lucifer?

[#6]

Clearly a scam.

Do the old classic of a threat. If you could post the e-mail headers we could do with a laugh.

Then I am sure the e-mail gives you some “advice” on how to rectify it, usually by making a payment to a false third party.

Ignore and move onto something else.

So it says.

Telling me to look at the members centre only

The email had my name and user name and email all correct too. This is part of the email

Genuine email by the looks of things, and it's not for downloading the content, it's for sharing it. Typically by seeding from a torrent client or watching via an illicit streaming site/(Kodi)add-on that relies on P2P technology.
Knowing how the system works, I'd be very surprised if it was anything to do with watching the content via the official Amazon apps

[#11]

We watched it using the inbuilt app on the TV for Amazon..... Not a clue as to how I have watched it wrong 

[#12]

Odd. Do the dates/times match up? What TV do you have?

[#13]

An LG smart TV. Date matches but not sure about the time..... Strange 

[#14]

Does anyone else in the house share your internet? & Also might be worth changing your WiFi password.

So basically a legal firm thought it would be great to spam people with potential demands for payment. Seems their software isn't up to the job, though.
