Japan, 2021-10-21 06:21:05This wallet ID has already been reported a few times; this is the same scam message that ends as follows: I don’t care about you personally, that's why you can be sure that all files I have and software on your device will be deleted immediately after I receive the transfer. I only care about getting paid. My modest consulting fee is 1650 US Dollars to be transferred in Bitcoin. Exchange rate at the time of the transfer. You need to send that amount to this wallet: 1FLwiuF95C45se8VtxQ4g882Gfr7V3qQ3H The fee is non negotiable, to be transferred within 2 business days. Obviously do not try to ask for help from the law enforcement unless you want your privacy to be violated. I will monitor your every move until I get paid. If you keep your end of the agreement, you wont hear from me ever again. Take care and have a good day.

United States, 2021-10-21 22:29:02Basic copy-paste fake scam mail from a lowlife.
Netherlands, 2021-10-21 22:29:12I am sorry to inform you but your device was hacked. Blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda Received: from 186-58-74-168.speedy.com.ar
United States, 2021-10-21 22:43:47It was sent from my email address, to that same email address, saying that they used the Zero Click vulnerability to hack my device. They said that they had been collecting my camera feed and audio from my microphone for a couple months, and have been monitoring my every move which is listed as websearches, websites I visit, as well as the texts I have been sending/receiving. They also had mentioned that they are going to send all this "embarrassing stuff" to the people in my contacts. This "device" in which they mentioned is a school-issued IPad which blocks Contacts, iMessage, etc, so I figured it is definitely a scam. They asked for 1650 US Dollars to be sent to the above Bitcoin wallet address or they will "leak the most damaging content to your contacts and post it to a public website for perverts to view." The email address in which I was hacked is a school-issued email. I attached the full email that was sent to me by the hacker in my email account to an Imgur post- https://imgur.com/a/AAhifBq Thank you!
