Contents of email message: "Lets get directly to the point. Not a single person has compensated me to check about you. You may not know me and you are most likely thinking why you are getting this email? Well, i actually placed a malware on the adult videos (pornography) web-site and there's more, you visited this web site to have fun (you know what i mean). When you were watching video clips, your web browser started out working as a Remote control Desktop with a key logger which provided me accessibility to your screen and also webcam. after that, my software collected every one of your contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, as well as e-mail. after that i created a video. 1st part displays the video you were viewing (you have a fine taste rofl), and second part shows the recording of your web cam, and it is u. You get two different options. Why dont we take a look at the options in details: 1st alternative is to ignore this e-mail. in such a case, i will send out your very own video clip to all your contacts and then consider concerning the humiliation you will see. and definitely if you are in a romantic relationship, just how it will certainly affect? Second option would be to compensate me $4891. Lets refer to it as a donation. Then, i most certainly will straightaway erase your video.

False blackmailing as you can read from the others. Not the first and will not be the last.

This email is used for sextortion scams. Do not conduct any transactions with this address.

They requested 5372 USD. If I won't they leak a sextape which I don't have at all. Obviously a blackmailing scam.

A blackmail scam where they somehow placed malware in an adult video website and then recorded my inputs and webcam. They also mention a very old previous password I had and appears to be from stale data leak. Requested that I pay $2678 and if I don't they will contact people that I know about such blackmail worthy stuff.
United States, 2021-07-24 03:43:57
Same as other reports. Somehow knew an old password of mine, said they'd accessed my phone's front cam while I was watching porn(even complimented on my choice lol) and threatened they'd leak it to all contacts unless I paid some 2600 something USD in bitcoin. Yawn.
