There have been many recent posts about the blackmail email scam, so I have written this post and will keep it stickied until the posts about the scam die down. If you are reading this because you have received one of these emails and you are worried, you can stop worrying. The blackmail email scam is a spam campaign that is sent out to thousands of addresses at a time. The threats are lies and you do not have anything to worry about. In many cases the email will be addressed to your real name, but this does not matter and does not mean that the email is true. In some cases you'll even see other information about yourself in the email, like a phone number or an old password. If you receive one of these emails, you should post the text here with the personal information redacted so that it shows up on Google, and you should report it as spam if it gets past your spam filter.
Here are some news articles about this scam.
Here are a few examples of the emails, you'll notice that they generally follow a similar script but use different words, and you'll notice that they include bizarre sentences and strange phrasing:
Your computer device was attacked by the malicious app .
Whats the trouble? I placed my malicious agent on a erotica portal, you clicked on this data and promptly adjusted the malware to your computer .
The hostile program made your selfie-camera shooting and I enjoy the videotape with you dash your doodle.
In next 5 hours this hostile program copied all your contacts.
Right now, I receive your all your contact information and video with you masturbating, and now if you wish me to destroy all the data affect payment 350 $USD in BTC digital currency.
Other way I want forward that this record to all your contacts .
I forward you my Bitcoin wallet - XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX You possess 27 hours after reading. In a case if I possess transaction I am going to undo that this record once for all.
I beg pardon for my mistakes- I live in China .
P.S. this postal address, I have thieved it
Good day,
If you had been more careful while caressing yourself, I wouldn't worry you. I don't think that playing with yourself is very bad, but when all your colleagues, relatives and friends get a video recording of it - it is definitely bad for you.
I placed malicious software on a website for adults (with porn) which was visited by you. When the target taps on a play button, your device starts recording the screen and all cameras on your device begin to work.
Moreover, my program allows a remote desktop connection with keylogger function from the device, so I could collect all contacts from your e-mail, messengers and other social networks. I'm writing on this e-mail cuz it's your working address, so you must check it.
I suppose that three hundred twenty usd is good enough for this little misstep. I made a split screen video (recorded from your screen (u have interesting tastes ) and camera ooooooh... its awful AF)
So it's your choice. If you want me to erase this compromising evidence, use my Bitcoin wallet address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX You have one day after opening my message; I put a special tracking pixel in it, so when you will open it I will see. If you want me to show you the proofs, reply to this message and I will send my creation to five contacts that I got from your contacts.
P.S. You can try to complain to the police, but I don't think that they can help, the investigation will last for 5 month- I'm from Ukraine - so I dgf lmao
Good day. Dont pay attention on my English, Im from India.
We installed mine virus onto your OS.
After that I pilfered all confidential background from your system. Moreover I had some more evidence. The most entertaining compromising that I have- its a record with your self-abusing. I adjusted virus on a porn site and then you installed it. As soon as you chose the video and tapped on a play button, my virus at once loaded on your device.
After setup, your front-camera shoot the videotape with you self-abusing, furthermore software captured precisely the porn video you chose. In next week my malicious software collected all your social media and email contacts.
If you need to erase all the evidence- send me 200 euro in BTC(cryptocurrency). Here is my Bitcoin number You have 30 hours to go after reading. If I see transaction I will erase the video forever. Differently I will send the video to all your colleagues and friends.
What's up,
If u were more attentive while caress yourself, I wouldn't worry you. I don't think that playing with yourself is really terrible, but when all colleagues, relatives and friends get video record of it- it is awful for you.
I placed virus on a porn web-site which was visited by you. When the target press on a play button, device begins recording the screen and all cameras on ur device starts working.
