Blackmail scam
Abuser: Anonymous
Blackmail sent with body: Greetings! I have to share bad news with you. Approximately a few months ago, I gained access to your devices, which you use for internet browsing. After that, I have started tracking your internet activities. Here is the sequence of events: Some time ago, I purchased access to email accounts from hackers (nowadays, it is quite simple to buy it online). I have easily managed to log in to your email account [email]. [Redacted due to length.] Let's settle it this way: You transfer 1.6 Bitcoin to me and once the transfer is received, I will delete all this dirty stuff right away. After that, we will forget about each other. I also promise to deactivate and delete all the harmful software from your devices. Trust me. I keep my word. [Redacted due to length.] You need to send that amount here Bitcoin wallet: bc1q0s0ktc0tfdtjp6ygl824h6egayz45e2qpz88zs (The price is not negotiable). You have 5 days in order to make the payment from the moment you opened this email. Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data is already uploaded to a remote server). Do not try to contact me. Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help either, since your data is already on a remote server. This is an APT Hacking Group. Don't be mad at me, everyone has their own work. I will monitor your every move until I get paid. If you keep your end of the agreement, you won't hear from me ever again. Everything will be done fairly! One more thing. Don't get caught in similar kinds of situations anymore in the future! My advice: keep changing all your passwords frequently. <end of email> --- Spoofed sender [email protected] where USERID is part of the user's email address [email protected]
