"Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" Torrent Warnings


When you do a torrent search for "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" through a search engine, you are given thousands of options... all of them are fake.  I've been researching this TV show since 2009, and I know that "Rex" IS NOT online a torrent!  (Although if anyone does have a legitimate link to the episode, feel free to prove me wrong!) 

The results that come up (usually under "sponsored sites" or "external sites/links") will have listings like this:


- Free Version Rex Is Not Your Lawyer
- Rex Is Not Your Lawyer [FullVersion] (or "Full Version")
- Rex Is Not Your Lawyer - Fast Download (or "Free Download")
- Rex Is Not Your Lawyer (2010), [2011]
- NEW / TRUSTED / HIGHSPEED / COMPLETE / STREAMING, etc.  

Beware!  These are all IDENTICAL RESULTS generated by software, often listed under a "Sponsored Links" section at the top of a page, and are NOT actual listings!  Each alleged listing in that section is automatically generated by the site's software.  Those titles are posted on parent sites, and are then passed down to child/mirror sites.  Then, to complicate things, other torrent sites pick up the bogus titles from there.  

Another dangerous scam is to get you to sign up with a website that has its own torrent software.  Then you're told that you can download TV shows, movies and games (using programs such as "FAST download on Ares" or "Download Provider" or "MediaGet").  At best, these are efforts to get your credit card information; at worst, you could download dangerous torrent software onto your computer, installing a program that might bombard you with phishing scams, pornography or even corrupt and crash your entire system.

Simply put, there are a LOT of torrents on the internet that can be downloaded for free (albeit illegally).  If you pay someone for a torrent, then you're getting scammed.

Don't be fooled, and don't sacrifice your safety and the security of your computer looking for something that isn't out there!
