Fair enough if "any and all" want to take Ursula's ill-judged and offensive advice and have nothing to do with my request for help but all I can do is stress that, yes, I am a journalist working for a Dublin-based newspaper and I am working on a story to do with the subject matter I posted about. I'm not sure how or why such an approach would be a 'scam', or how such a scam would even work, let alone why on earth anyone would want to pose as a journalist to make a scam work. From my own experience of posting on forums for help with whatever story I am working on, posting my phone number etc just attracts spam etc. All I'm looking for is anyone who wants to be interviewed about file-sharing in the context of the latest IRMA court result. And ideally, I would like to talk to anyone in Ireland who is likely to be affected. It's not rocket science!
