Blackmail/extortion scam. Email claims (incorrectly) to have installed malware on the user’s computer. Threatens to send compromising video of the user to their contacts, unless Bitcoin is sent. Totally fake – I have received about one of these a week for the past few years, and my friends, family and colleagues have yet to receive any indecent videos of me!

Scammer sends “blackmail” using a spoofed version of your address and claims to have compromising videos of you after infecting your device.

What exactly should you do? So, I believe, 1000 USD will be a inexpensive amount of money for this little riddle. You'll make your payment by bitcoins (if you do not understand this, try to find “how to purchase bitcoin” in any search engine). My bitcoin wallet address: 19SDJp3rdgU99sadqEb437b1qAynsCg9r8 (It is cAsE sensitive, so just copy and paste it).

Hi, your account is infected! Renew your password right now! You might not know anything about me and you are definitely surprised for what reason you're getting this electronic message, is it right? I am ahacker who crackedyour emailand digital devicesseveral months ago. Don't make an attempt to msg me or try to find me, it is definitely impossible, because I forwarded you an email using YOUR account that I've hacked. I've developed malware software to the adult videos (porno) site and guess that you watched this site to have some fun (you realize what I mean).

Here is a part of the blackmail email. It claims that it was sent from my email account, and it only spoofed my address. It also claims to have embedded a pixel and knows when the message was read. Not true. This is not true either. There was no embedded pixel. Important: You will have only 2 days to send the payment. (I have an exclusive pixel to this e-mail, and right now I understand that you have read this email). To monitorthe reading of a messageand the activityin it, I set upa Facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (The stuff thatcan be usedfor the authorities can helpus.) If I do not get bitcoins, I will undoubtedly offer your recording to each of your contacts, including family members, colleagues, and so forth?

You typed passwords on the websites you visited, and I caught them. Without a doubt, you could possibly modify them, or already modified them. But it does not matter, my malware renews it every 5 minutes. And what did I do? I got a backup of your device. Of each file and each contact. I created a dual-screen video. The 1 section reveals the video that you were watching (you have got a very good preferences, haha...), the second part shows the recording from your webcam. What should you do? Well, I think, 1000 USD is basically a fair amount of money for this little riddle. You will make the payment by bitcoins (if you don't know this, search “how to purchase bitcoin” in any search engine). My bitcoin wallet address: 19SDJp3rdgU99sadqEb437b1qAynsCg9r8

Thanks to them. (That whichis appliedfor the authorities should helpus.)
