got an email, telling me my pc was infected with a trojan virus and that they had taken videos of me through my webcam and wanted to blackmail me for $700 or they would release the videos to all my contacts. I'm not worried because I don't have a webcam, but I do have a gun so if you need me to hunt these people down... lmk. K Thx.

blackmailed for 700$ saying they had webcam footage of me torquing my rod. don't have a webcam so obviously just fishing, they did include one of my old passwords to show they had proof or something idk, they must have got it from some shitty website that was hacked and didn't encrypt their passwords for whatever retarded reason

Demanding $700 or else they’ll release video they supposedly took via my webcam. Referenced a password I have never used as proof they broke into my email. Of course, no evidence in my “sent” folder ...

blackmail emails eg While watching a video Trojan virus has been installed on your device through an exploit. This darknet software working as RDP (remote-controlled desktop), which has a keylogger, which gave me access to your microphone and webcam. Soon after, my software received all your contacts from your messenger, social network and email.

Now you might think: "I'll call to police!" Undoubtedly, I have taken steps to ensure that this letter cannot be traced to me, and it will not remain aloof from the evidence of the destruction of your daily life. I don't want to steal all your savings. I just want to get compensation for my efforts that I put in to investigate you. Let us hope that you decide to create all this in full and pay me a fee for confidentiality.

Alleges installation of an RDP, alleges webcam footage of myself rubbing one out has been captured, demands $700USD is sent to the mentioned BTC wallet within 48 hours or the video will be shared with my contact list. Shame it ended up hidden in my spam folder, it's been about 110 hours and none of my contacts got a show. I'm more interested in filing a complaint with the relevant jurisdiction for falsely advertising a service. Now I'll have to buy a webcam, tingle my dingle and manually share the footage with my contacts like some sort of savage. Check the headers of the spoofed email. The sender's IP belonged to Deutsch Telekom and was presumed to be from Berlin. It doesn't match other IPs posted here, and wasn't a known Tor exit node or proxy, but did appear on a handful of IP blacklists for email spoofing/general spam. So it's possible the scammer may have access to a botnet. Use an IP lookup tool, find the abuse contact (typically [email protected]) and report it.
