i have received 3 emails , all three coming from different places, India, Saudi Arabia and Brazil. They all have the similar text... this one starts with "Hello! I'm a programmer who cracked your email account and device about half year ago." etc etc. Needless to say, do not send any money to these scammers, even if the password in the email corresponds to some old password.

06/28/2018 - on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account A month ago, I wanted to lock your device and ask for a not big amount of btc to unlock. But I looked at the sites that you regularly visit, and I was shocked by what I saw!!! I'm talk you about sites for adults. I want to say - you are a BIG pervert. Your fantasy is shifted far away from the normal course! ---------------------------------------------- The useraccount and password is correct, but this is one of 6 mails we have gotten, and this has never been used to access a computer or device. My toughts; Go fish!!

After that, I made a full dump of your disk (I have all your address book, history of viewing sites, all files, phone numbers and addresses of all your contacts). A month ago, I wanted to lock your device and ask for a small amount of money to unlock. But I looked at the sites that you regularly visit, and came to the big delight of your favorite resources. I'm talking about sites for adults. I want to say - you are a big pervert. You have unbridled fantasy! After that, an idea came to my mind. I made a screenshot of the intimate website where you have fun (you know what it is about, right?). After that, I took off your joys (using the camera of your device). It turned out beautifully, do not hesitate. I am strongly belive that you would not like to show these pictures to your relatives, friends or colleagues. I think $964 is a very small amount for my silence. Besides, I spent a lot of time on you! I accept money only in Bitcoins.

Email content: I have bad news for you. 06/28/2018 - on this day I hacked your operating system and got full access to your account <redacted private info> On that day your account (<redacted private info>) password was: <redacted private info> <redacted for 1000 char limit> I am strongly belive that you would not like to show these pictures to your relatives, friends or colleagues. I think $951 is a very small amount for my silence. Besides, I spent a lot of time on you! I accept money only in Bitcoins. My BTC wallet: 15ZHnf1MPn6ybb8yUeAoCQ1AJtiKhg3NrP You do not know how to replenish a Bitcoin wallet? In any search engine write "how to send money to btc wallet". It's easier than send money to a credit card! For payment you have a little more than two days (exactly 50 hours). Do not worry, the timer will start at the moment when you open this letter. Yes, yes .. it has already started! <redacted for 1000 char limit>

The blackmailer who the wallet [0c830a00ff] /0c830a00ff81a403 used with 22 bitcoin addresses transfers the extorted amounts to the wallets [38bbe8be48], [18748c0de4] [fffa724a35], [c5cae5868f], 8e7886f55c], [2dce168d16], [69a2956c73] ,[13565d5eea], [64ab7d8148],[c6453a1c7c], [3428231114] This is obviously the biggest nonsense, paying with Bitcoin is anonymous so the scammer cannot know who the money came from (there is no sender). The story as described in the mail is therefore incorrect and is not based on truths.
