Rat Lives Matter
I received this blackmail email today.
"I do know ######## one of your pass words. Lets get directly to the purpose. Nobody has paid me to investigate you. You don't know me and you're probably wondering why you're getting this mail?
actually, i actually installed a malware on the 18+ video clips (porno) website and guess what, you visited this web site to have fun (you know what i mean). While you were watching video clips, your internet browser began working as a RDP having a keylogger which provided me accessibility to your screen and web cam. immediately after that, my software gathered your complete contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, and e-mailaccount. Next i created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you have a good taste hehe), and 2nd part shows the view of your cam, yea its you.
You actually have 2 solutions. Shall we look at these options in particulars:
Very first solution is to neglect this email. as a result, i most certainly will send your very own tape to all your your contacts and just consider regarding the shame you will definitely get. and definitely if you are in an important relationship, exactly how it will eventually affect?
Next alternative should be to pay me $7000. Lets think of it as a donation. Then, i will straight away remove your videotape. You will go on with your way of life like this never occurred and you surely will never hear back again from me.
You'll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search for 'how to buy bitcoin' in Google search engine).
BTC address to send to: 1543Vofr7BJpFev4ZE4eMvQucHWW8rMVx2
[CaSe-sensitive, copy and paste it]
Should you are looking at going to the police, very well, this e mail cannot be traced back to me. I have covered my moves. i am also not trying to ask you for so much, i only want to be rewarded. You now have two days to pay. i've a specific pixel within this mail, and right now i know that you have read through this mail. if i don't get the BitCoins, i will certainly send your video to all of your contacts including members of your family, co-workers, and so on. Nevertheless, if i receive the payment, i will destroy the recording right away. This is a nonnegotiable offer thus please do not waste my time & yours by responding to this message. if you need evidence, reply Yeah! then i will certainly send out your video to your 7 friends."
Thing is, I don't actually have a web-cam, and I couldn't care less if any of my '7 friends' know what porn I watch.
I wonder how many people they catch with these scams, and how much money they manage to extort?
Anyone here ever get anything similar?
