I have never downloaded any music. Was not even home the date stated in letter. The IP in the letter is not and never was mine and the artists mentioned make it laughable...almost. Any suggestions? Toss it? Reason for concern?

What instructions does it give? Who does it say to contact?
If you haven't downloaded anything, then they have no case against you. I wouldn't worry too much. So far they are only going after major file sharers.

Mostly likely a scam, to be honest I have heard of RIAA really screwing up and sending letters to people who don;t even have a computer.
I never could understand how the RIAA would even be able to get smart people. iIf people were to disable sharing( disable the, from look to see what is on your harddrive) and just tranfering your music you Dled to a secondary harddrive or exteral harddrive.
RIAA must setup people left and right but even then what is one or two songs even worth if they were to bait you with it. No way they can prove you even DLed the right song, names are worthless to go by as you can change them.
They must hack computers or have a third party do it. no way anyone with half a brain would get in trouble

the ultimate ingredient to do is a) call the genuine Farley Mart business enterprise on Monday and talk to their accounting branch to tell the you won a verify, so as that they'd positioned a freeze on their account; and b) turn the verify, the unique envelope and copies of all emails over on your community police those scams are many times run via temps or disgruntled former workers to scouse borrow business enterprise exams

If you have contact information for this outfit, google and verify their bona fides. Give them a call from a payphone if possible. If it's a law office, see if such an office exists. If so, give them a call (at a number YOU retrieve, not the one on the letter) and verify its authenticity.
If you can't verify its authenticity, turn it over to the US Postal Inspector. See www.usps.gov for details.
You have to at least check it out, otherwise you risk possibly having to contest an erroneous suit.

Yes reason for concern those F'er's will keep right on coming even if you PROVE you didn't do it, call your local legal aid to get advice the RIAA doesn't stop even when they are wrong, hell they've sued 12 year olds over downloads

You're right, it's a scam. Toss it.
