Swindlers impersonating HBO try to extort money. 

There are more and more fans of "Games of Thrones" with every season. Polish radio station Anti-radio informs that the 6th season of the popular series was watched by around  23 million viewers. However, some viewers decided to illegally download the episodes. 

People who received the e-mail from swindlers impersonating  HBO could become victims of the fraud. Torrentfreak.com portal published pattern of  the e-mail message received by some users. The content of the e-mail  informs that on account of illegal downloading of the file from the given IP address, the user has to pay in order to avoid being sued. For that purpose, we have to click the attached link and we have 72 hours to make a money transfer. The e-mail seems to be authentic, because apart from very often authentic IP address, there is a name of the downloaded file and its size. 

The addressees  of this e-mail are Internet providers  but they often redirect the e-mails to their customers. At the moment this practice is taking place in United States, Great Britain and Australia. However, we must take into account that such action can spread to other countries including Poland.
