And today, I was just lazily searching through my email inbox, when a doozy of a letter landed in my mailbox.
It follows:
Good Afternoon astrangeone, I'm writing to let you know that I've reported your ad to both RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and BSA: https://reporting.bsa.org/r/report/add.aspx?ln=en-ca&src=ca Your ad (#1185950550) titled "3DS Downgrade and A9LH installation - Can do 11.2.XX firmware!" promotes illegal software downloads (which is highly illegal). This is not the only ad that has been reported. Your ad (#1211395079) titled "Nintendo 3DS Modding/Hacking - Any Firmware!" has also been reported. Software that "allows you to pirate games over your wifi" is highly illegal and you should know that! You should be contacted soon. I'm writing to you just to give you a heads up.
It's true, I have an advert up on Kijii offering to downgrade and install Luma3DS. That's all. No illegal software and certainly no pirated games.
I should have been more careful with my wording on my advert. Looks like the BSA is just for businesses, although.
Seriously, how screwed am I? I feel like the wording sounds like someone/a competitor creating a scare tactic. But I took down the adverts in question, and just looked over the rest of my adverts.
Update: Looks like the "BSA" is a real thing - Business Software Alliance. Think it really was a competitor. If the guy wanted me taken down, I would have been reported for selling A9LH'ed systems as well.
Update (Nov 22, 2016): I got contacted about my new galaxy style 3DS XL, and apparently it was the same guy who threatened me. What the hell? If you are interested talk to me about it, not threaten me...
