Never seen the scammers do this before
I guess all the social media apps that I don't use will get to see me spanking my monkey! Wink

Hello!
Have you recently noticed that I have e-mailed you from your account?
Yes, this simply means that I have total access to your device.

For the last couple of months, I have been watching you.
Still wondering how is that possible? Well, you have been infected with malware originating from an adult website that you visited. You may not be familiar with this, but I will try explaining it to you.

With help of the Trojan Virus, I have complete access to a PC or any other device.
This simply means I can see you at any time I wish to on your screen by simply turning on your camera and microphone, without you even noticing it. In addition, I have also got access to your contacts list and all your correspondence.

You may be asking yourself, "But my PC has an active antivirus, how is this even possible? Why didn't I receive any notification?" Well, the answer is simple: my malware uses drivers, where I update the signatures every four hours, making it undetectable, and hence keeping your antivirus silent.

I have a video of you wanking on the left screen, and on the right screen - the video you were watching while masturbating.
Wondering how bad could this get? With just a single click of my mouse, this video can be sent to all your social networks, and e-mail contacts.
I can also share access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.

All you have to do to prevent this from happening is - transfer bitcoins worth $1480 (USD) to my Bitcoin address (if you have no idea how to do this, you can open your browser and simply search: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1KZYRM7FhRBp4uS2ucMtJeFTeZXYsvhVfy

After receiving a confirmation of your payment, I will delete the video right away, and that's it, you will never hear from me again.
You have 2 days (48 hours) to complete this transaction.
Once you open this e-mail, I will receive a notification, and my timer will start ticking.

Any attempt to file a complaint will not result in anything, since this e-mail cannot be traced back, same as my bitcoin id.
I have been working on this for a very long time by now; I do not give any chance for a mistake.

If, by any chance I find out that you have shared this message with anybody else, I will broadcast your video as mentioned above.

I got one very similar to that one a year or two ago.

Problem is that I don't have a camera or a microphone hooked up to my desktop, so no one saw or heard me doing anything.

Yup, I've seen variants of that one. As I'm sure you're probably aware they're full of crap.

If I were in an antagonistic mood, I'd reply with something to the effect of "oh really? That'd save me a lot of time."

That's been a common scam for years.

I have gotten that exact email at least 6 times. I am sure some knuckle head out there falls for it.

I get a variation of this email at least once a week.

You guys should stop posting these things. It serves no purpose.

This is the second one of these I've seen posted this week. It needs to stop.

In some instances, members post them for a laugh, but they're not even funny. They're just old and commonplace.

Just don't open these emails. If you're concerned that some con man in Namibia is watching you polish your apple, put a piece of tape over your web cam.

It does serve a purpose, it makes others aware of what is going on so they don't fall for crap like this.

Welcome to 2018. There are no revelations anymore in posting this stuff. If you weren't aware of this old scam, you're going to be one of the last people around here who wasn't.

Who in this day and age doesn't know that an email saying "You must send me money" is a scam and nothing but?

It's common, just another phishing expedition.

If I thought they would actually get my reply email, I would send them video of me wanking with the note, "enjoy". Big Grin

Let them know you're having trouble depositing the $$ and you need the password to their wallet. Wink

I've gotten a variation where they open by telling you one of your passwords. It gets your attention very quickly; however, it's perfectly fine to ignore the email. If your email provider has a way, report it as a phishing scam before you delete it.

All I get are text messages from DR. Oz telling me how to get 200 dollars worth of CBD.

They're full of shit. I've gotten that email 4 times and only once did a video show up on instagram.

Does that mean the beautiful Russian brides that want to marry middle aged American men in the emails are fake too?

I got the 32 of these back in 2018. What got me going with one was that whoever sent it actually had my real password. That they had my real password freaked me out, but I don’t have any web cams, so I knew it was a scam, but what were they doing with my real password?

Stop using the same password for different sites. Period.

Legitimate sites get hacked and let your passwords get stolen ***all the time***. People buy the breached data from each other, over and over and over. Passwords, credit card numbers, etc.
