Set up to sell sex toy online or similar, take payment, then say there is a problem fulfilling the order and send a refund from "gay anal toys incorporated" and hope enough folks are too embarrassed to cash the cheque at their bank. They've just found a twist to include a law firm in the demand process. http://scams.wikispaces.com/Sex+Toy+Scam This is just a variant of the old sex toy scam.

It also seems to cross the line that a recent case involving the RIAA says it would cross and that is the industry setting up it's own policing agency, which makes it unconstitutional in the U.S. What's weird is how can I as a creator claim that you illegally downloaded my work if I'm the one who offered it up illegally? I can't. Not with a straight (or gay) face. It's also very strange that Evil Angel would be involved in this, knowingly. This seems to be a case of entrapment.

In the US this would be a severe problem, and I don't imagine it's vastly different in the UK. Can you say “Unclean Hands Defense”?
