Singapore, 2019-01-07 02:55:35Hi, You have been hacked and uploaded all your photos and files. If you are not familiar with this, I will explain it. you have downloaded an application on your device that enabled me to access all of your files stored on it. That means I can see everything on the screen and run the camera and microphone, but you're not aware of that. And also got access to all your contacts. With a click of a button, I can send all this to all your email contacts and social networks. I know this will destroy your future. To prevent this, transfer the amount of 650 USD to my bitcoin address (if you do not know how, google "Buy Bitcoin"). Bitcoin Address: 1ACEojQ6totubmrjDPp6F2atTV58isKoTh As soon as the payment is received, I will remove your downloaded files and you will not hear me again. I give you 24 hours to pay. Etc.
United States, 2019-01-07 04:53:06same email as others
Finland, 2019-01-07 10:17:50Wants money 650 USD in next 24 hrs
Ireland, 2019-01-07 11:00:56This 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. Hi, You have been hacked and uploaded all your photos and files. If you are not familiar with this, I will explain it. you have downloaded an application on your device that enabled me to access all of your files stored on it.
2019-01-07 13:05:19Just a phishing scam so don't fall for it by paying them anything, its not real...these guys are just trying their luck. If they were really able to hack your device they would need to prove it, for example they could disable/lock your device until the ransom was paid but they didn't, Just a load of Nonsense. Block them!
