OMG!!! My sordid secrets revealed!!!

[sheepherder]

I just received this email...

Hello! I am a hacker who has access to your operating system. I also have full access to your account.

I've been watching you for a few months now. The fact is that you were infected with malware through an adult site that you visited.

If you are not familiar with this, I will explain. Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device. This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it.

I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence. Why your antivirus did not detect malware?
Answer: My malware uses the driver, I update its signatures every 4 hours so that your antivirus is silent.

I made a video showing how you satisfy yourself in the left half of the screen, and in the right half you see the video that you watched.
With one click of the mouse, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on social networks.
I can also post access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.

If you want to prevent this, transfer the amount of $500 to my bitcoin address (if you do not know how to do this, write to Google: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 3Ppwmb8jrgaRWHLUwh5J6sunmhp68AQ9FZ

After receiving the payment, I will delete the video and you will never hear me again. I give you 50 hours (more than 2 days) to pay.
I have a notice reading this letter, and the timer will work when you see this letter.

Filing a complaint somewhere does not make sense because this email cannot be tracked like my bitcoin address.
I do not make any mistakes.
If I find that you have shared this message with someone else, the video will be immediately distributed.

Best regards!

Actually, this is the second one like this I've received. It had me wondering about what I was satisfying myself about here on LugerForum. I was tempted to request the video, but it wouldn't show much...I don't have a PC camera or microphone...

It's amusing that the only adult sites I've visited lately were IMDB and Amazon...I was curious about the five Cheerleader movies on Lifetime cable this last Labor Day weekend. I watched about ten minutes of one...I didn't know Cheerleader movies were so boring...

But I did find one amusing movie..."Happy Death Day"...No cheerleaders, but a college-student horror movie...

I guess I'll pass on the bitcoin extortion...I don't do bitcoin anyway...

I've gotten these extortion emails as well.
The sad thing is these must work at least once in a while or they'd stop sending them.
Much like the "Nigerian Prince" scams.

[Doubs]

I feel neglected. I haven't gotten any such emails.

OTOH, I've been threatened by phone by the IRS to be arrested withing two hours if I didn't call them straight away.

Then there have been the calls from Microsoft Security asking for access to my computer. It confuses them when I ask "Which one?"

The latest one has been that my credit card was being charged $399 if I didn't call them immediately.

It's an interesting world.

I think it's a hoot when they tell me the "Mayor" is going to have me arrested. Like our Mayor has law enforcement power. I just have to laugh at these bozos.

I received a phone call from the IRS in Alabama requesting info because I was about to be charged with a crime. I instead visited my local IRS office and found there was no problem and had them block any future access to my account.

[Kri 1942]

In France, we have the same problems and we receive the same messages!

I asked for my video so I could put it on Facebook myself, but they never delivered...

[MP38]

I've gotten the Nigerian emails in the past. I also get the phone calls that say I owe the IRS money, and to settle it, I simply have to send a MO to someone!
I reported both of these to my local sheriff's office.

I also still get Nigerian millionaire email scams, and the Microsoft phone-call security breach (or pirated O/S), please call yada yada immediately or they will disable my operating system.

The only semi-believable phone calls I've gotten were from someone purporting to be from 'the electric company' telling me that I need to get out my latest electric bill and call them immediately.

Worked on a case recently where a gentleman has sent over $250,000 to scammers in the Caribbean. Amazing that people are still falling victim to this stuff in 2019.

When I opened my email, I was on both sides of the screen - apparently I’ve been satisfying myself by watching myself satisfying myself. I’ve sent copies to everyone I know.

[Vlim]

Not to mention I appear to have bank accounts and credit cards everywhere and have to respond almost every week.

[Zorba]

I've gotten that one (the OP email) any number of times, but what has been driving me NUTS lately has been SPAM bots that hit the contact form on my website.
Its been years since I've run my procmail recipes on my email stream, but SPAM has been going up recently so I may turn procmail back on. /dev/null is a good thing!

[sheepherder]

A crack team from Microsoft's Anti-Fraud Unit is presently engaged in tracking down this internet pirate...and saving the Earth from Martians as well...

[Curly1]

At least he said "hello"

[rhuff]

I am still waiting for:

(1) The IRS to come to my house to arrest me.

(2) Microsoft to completely shut down my internet access because my "license" expired.

(3) Social Security to cease all association with me due to fraud.

(4) I can't remember the other ones.....sorry!!

[DonVoigt]

I'm waiting on my pictures.

[sheepherder]

Let me ask a stupid question...If I did have a camera mounted on my laptop or PC, why would I aim it at anything other than my face??? And if I had a mic, what would it record???

[sheepherder]

Got a new one today...

Attention: sir/madam

I am J. Willy (a lawyer), my purpose of contacting you is for your consent
and/or help to secure and evacuate the funds left behind by my late client
to avoid its confiscation or declaration as none serviceable by the bank.
The fund is valued at $9,500,000.00. I know you may not actually be in
anyway related to him (my late client) but for sharing the same surname
with him makes it easier to get the funds to your name and/or have it
moved to your account for your access, our joint division and utility. Get
back to me for more details.

Best regards,
Hon. Barrister James Willy

Yeah...No. My funds get evacuated just fine, Hon. Barrister, thank you.

I've gotten them from Janet Naploitano, Melania Trump, Donald trump, Christopher Wray of the FBI, Jayson Ahern of CBP, MG Timothy Lowenberg AG and "Military Department", among others.

Here's one I got from Donald trump recently:

To:you (Bcc) Details
GOOD NEWS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE:

I am President Donald J. Trump, the 45th and current President of the United States of America; and I am writing to inform you about your bank check, worth 10,000,000,00 USD that was brought to the White House, Washington DC by the White House Secret Service officers, allegedly coming from the government of Benin Republic but does not have any document attached to the package to back it up. The check was supposed to be delivered to your home address but due to the inconveniences encountered during the course of the delivery, it was brought here. I contacted the CIA Agency in Benin Republic and they told me that the check was sent from Benin Republic and to receive it legally you need to obtain an Affidavit of Ownership by paying a service fee of $117 USD to secure it from the High Court of Benin. The Affidavit of Ownership will certify that you are legally the beneficiary of the checks and the funds are not meant to sponsor any terrorist activity.

The information for making the payment is below:

Receivers Full Names: EVAN WADE
City & Country: COTONOU, BENIN REPUBLIC
Question: HOW LONG
Answer: ASAP
Amount: $117 USD

Evan Wade, once you resend the money to his name, will receive the payment and then the Affidavit of Ownership will be issued and signed; after which your bank check will be delivered to you legally. Once you make the payment, you are to send the payment details to me and I will send them to the Agency for pick up, thank you.

Endeavor to do as directed once you receive this email. God bless you and God bless America.

Yours Sincerely,
President Donald J. Trump,
President of the United States of America.
