Hello,
I do know your passwords (check this email subject for one of the passwords), I do know about your
daily life, I do know about your internet activities. You do not know anything about me, and you must be
wondering why be wondering why you are getting this email, right? I installed a malware on the adult
(porn) website and guess what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what I mean!). While you
were watching the porn, your web browser started functioning as an RDP+keylogger, which gave me
access to your display screen and camera. Right after that, my software collected all of your contacts
from your Facebook account, Messenger account, and email account. I created a double screen video.
The first part shows the video you were watching (you have a nice taste lol), and the second part
shows the recording of your camera (it is you!).
You have two options –
1. First option is to ignore this email. In this case, I will send the recorded video clip of yours to all of
your contacts and just imagine the humiliation you will feel from this. Don’t forget that this can also
affect your relationship as well.
2. Second option is to pay me $1000. We will call it a donation. In this case, I will right away delete your
video and all of your information I have about you (including your contact lists) and you will never hear
from me again. You can continue your daily life like this never happened.
You will make the payment via Bitcoin. If you do not know about Bitcoin, search Google for “how to buy
bitcoin”. You can also get the Bitcoin from sites like Bitstamp, Coinbase, Kraken, Localbitcoins, etc.
Bitcoin (i.e. BTC) address to which you need to send is –
*address*
It is Case-Sensitive, so make sure to copy and paste it, or, you can also scan this QR image to get the BTC
address:
If you are thinking to go to the police, good luck, I have taken every step to make sure that this email
cannot be traced back to me. You have 48 hours to pay me. I have a special Facebook pixel in this email,
and at this moment, I know that you have read this email. If you want proof, reply to this email, and I
will send your video to 4 of your contacts.
So, if you see it, now your device may be probably infected with a virus. However, you can be relieved, hackers don’t have a video with you, but since the moment of opening this file, your device is in a potential danger. Potential danger can be of different shapes: mining virus, hijacker, pop up and etc. So we strongly recommend you to change all your passwords, probably email and to follow our guide!
