News out of the U.K. today proves that once again, as “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling is warning fans to beware of phishers claiming to peddle her upcoming July release: “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”.
Rowling says one phishing scam, claiming to offer an e-book version of the title, has already been stopped. She’s warning fans that more are likely to follow.
“You should NEVER trust any Harry Potter e-books offered for download from the Internet or on P2P/file-trading networks. Setting aside the fact that these books are illegal (there are no authorised HP e-books to date), they may infect your computer with viruses, leave you vulnerable to the dangers of hacking and/or credit card fraud and may also contain content that has nothing to do with Harry Potter, to say the least,” Rowling writes on her home page.
