I reported it to scam@ . . . . .
N.B -Hello, my perverted friend.
We've actually known each other for a while, at least I know you.
You can call me Big Brother or the All-Seeing Eye.
I'm a hacker who a few months ago gained access to your device,
including your browser history and webcam.
I recorded some videos of you jerking off to highly controversial
"adult" videos.
I doubt you'd want your family, coworkers, and your entire
<my email address> contact list to see footage of you pleasuring
yourself, especially considering how kinky your favorite "genre".
I will also publish these videos on porn sites, they will go viral and
it will be physically impossible to remove them from the Internet.
How did I do this?
Because of your disregard for internet security, I easily managed to
install a Trojan on your hard disk.
Thanks to this, I was able to access all the data on your device and
control it remotely.
By infecting one device, I was able to gain access to all the other devices.
My spyware is embedded in the drivers and updates its signature every
few hours, so no antivirus or firewall can ever detect it.
Now I want to offer a deal: a small amount of money in exchange for your
former worry free life.
Transfer $1250 USD to my bitcoin wallet:185kB82fakN7BCDpcS9tfzbDc8uytm5Wo
As soon as I receive confirmation of the payment, I will delete all the
videos that compromise you, remove the virus from all your devices and
you will never hear from me again.
It's a very small price for not destroying your reputation in the eyes
of others, who think that you are a decent man, according to your
messengers. You can think of me as some sort of life coach who wants you
to start appreciating what you have.
You have 48 hours. I will receive a notification as soon as you open
this email, and from this moment, the countdown will begin.
If you've never dealt with cryptocurrency before, it's very easy. Simply
type "cryptocurrency exchange" into a search engine, and then all set.
Here's what you shouldn't do:
- Don't reply to my email. It was sent from a temporary email account.
- Don't call the police. Remember, I have access to all your devices,
and as soon as I notice such activity, it will automatically lead to the
publishing of all the videos.
- Don't try to reinstall your system or reset your device. First of all,
I already have the videos, and secondly, as I said, I have remote access
to all your devices, and once I notice such an attempt, you know what
happens.
Remember, crypto addresses are anonymous, so you won't be able to track
down my wallet.
So long story short*, let's resolve this situation with a benefit for me
and you.
I always keep my word unless someone tries to trick me.
Lastly, a little advice for the future. Start taking your online
security more seriously.
Change your passwords regularly and set up multi-factor authentication
on all your accounts.
Best wishes.
