For God’s Sake, what’s the harm in giving the guy a call? Just don’t give out any personal information.

It seems like a legitmate local ISP to me. It’s been around since at least 1996. That advice to write a note saying that you will contact lawyers if they ever contact you again is unbelievable. Help them out. It’ll probably be an interesting story. Haj ---

Brooklyn is in Kings County. Call Prestige Title Agency, and ask for customer service. They should be able to give you all sorts of information about the owner. 718-256-2726. Note: I do not work for them, I just looked them up in my ALTA directory. ---

I’m going to try and help this. I figured if it was some sort of scam some doper would have heard of it. If it is a scam it will be known for ever as _The Zebra Scam_. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-this-a-scam-what-would-you-do/152234.md?page=1)
