The "police page" at 83.138.166.114 may be fake. That address resolves via reverse DNS to "S82574.clubonside.dk". But "clubonside.dk" isn't in DNS or the .dk registry. It was live in 2006, and was a site for soccer fans, then moved to "clubonside.com", and is now defunct.
The IP address is hosted by Rackspace in London.

Also note that on the page, there are no links to any law enforcement organization. All the links are ads for "safe and reliable online content".
A domain actually taken over by the Serious Organized Crimes Agency in the UK looks like this. No ads, links only to a UK government site.

This looks like some private "IP protection" company impersonating a police agency.

More likely: when the soccer fan site moved on, the IP address became available and was eventually recycled to this purpose.

Hmm, interesting.

Would be a brilliant spear-phishing ploy...just have your scary 'police' page point to fake-but-legit-sounding sites, collect data from gullible (and probably a bit jumpy) users, profit!

I just sent the following complaint to the ipcc

To whom it may concern,

As part of reading an article on the efforts to reduce music piracy, I visited http://rnbxclusive.com/

The message on this page advises "The above information can be used to identify you and your location. " It goes on to say

"SOCA has the capability to monitor and investigate you, and can inform your internet service provider of these infringements.
You may be liable for prosecution and the fact that you have received this message does not preclude you from prosecution."

This is completely heavy handed abuse by a police organisation. I should not be threatened with tracking and prosecution merely for visiting a web site from a news article. Please can you investigate why I have been threatened in this manner for simply following a link from a legitimate news website.

Flood them with similar complaints and maybe someone will get a talking to :)

Yeah, well I noticed the U.K. serious sissy patrol neglected to leave any contact information so I could ridicule them about tracking me and offer them a taste of my stool. Common tactic.

add ?insert_profane_comment_here to the end of the url. It will be logged and if they try to do anything with the logs it will show up.

IE: http://rnbxclusive.com/?insert_profane_comment_here

SOCA's arms depict a predatory animal mauling the globe. What an appropriate and refreshingly honest emblem for a state agency.

So leave a message in their logs, go to: http://rnbxclusive.com/SOCA_Are_Wankers or some similar URL

rnbxclusive.com/smd should get the message across fine.
