I got this email today

[dogpark 3,887]

I got this email and oddly enough the XXXXXXXX below was my actual password for this website. I don't use that password anywhere else but here...

I would suggest that everyone go change their passwords to something that you don't use anywhere else.

If you receive videos of me... remember size doesn't matter.

It is just so unfortunate. I know XXXXXXXX is your password. Moreover, I know your secret and I've proof of it. You don't know me and no one paid me to examine you.

It is just your bad luck that I found your misdemeanor. Well, I actually setup a malware on the adult vids (porn material) and you visited this website to have fun (you know what I mean). When you were busy watching videos, your browser started working as a Rdp (Remote control desktop) with a key logger which provided me access to your display and web cam. After that, my software collected all of your contacts from messenger, facebook, as well as email.

Next, I gave in much more time than I should've into your life and made a double screen video. 1st part displays the recording you had been watching and 2nd part shows the video of your webcam (its you doing dirty things).

Honestly, I'm ready to forget all about you and let you get on with your daily life. And I am about to present you 2 options which will make it happen. Those two options are either to ignore this letter, or simply just pay me $1000. Let us explore these 2 options in more detail.

Option One is to ignore this message. Let us see what will happen if you pick this option. I will certainly send your video to all of your contacts including close relatives, colleagues, and so forth. It will not help you avoid the humiliation your self will need to face when friends and family discover your sordid videos from me.

Option 2 is to pay me $1000. We will call it my “confidentiality tip”. Let me tell you what happens if you pick this option. Your secret remains your secret. I'll destroy the video immediately. You continue on with your life as if nothing ever happened.

At this point you may be thinking, “I should go to the cops”. Let me tell you, I've covered my steps to ensure this email can't be linked back to me plus it won't prevent the evidence from destroying your daily life. I am not seeking to steal all your savings. I am just looking to get paid for my efforts I place into investigating you. Let's hope you have decided to create all of this vanish entirely and pay me the confidentiality fee. You will make the payment by Bitcoins (if you do not know this, type "how to buy bitcoins" in search engine)

Amount to be sent: $1000
Send To This Bitcoin Address: 13Dn*tCoR94aicghP1kp36NZg2dy2fRFjSH (Remove * from this address then copy and paste it)

Explain nobody what you will be transferring the Bitcoins for or they will often not offer it to you. The process to get bitcoins can take a short time so do not procrastinate.
I have a special pixel within this message, and right now I know that you've read this e-mail. You now have one day to make the payment. If I don't receive the Bitcoins, I will, no doubt send your video recording to all of your contacts including friends and family, coworkers, etc. You better come up with an excuse for friends and family before they find out. However, if I do get paid, I'll erase the video immediately. It's a non negotiable one time offer, thus do not ruin my personal time & yours. Your time has started. You should be aware that my malware is going to be recording what action you adopt when you're done reading this letter. Honestly, If you search anything inappropriate then I will send your videotape to your members of your family, coworkers before your deadline.

This is really kind of scary! Thanks for the heads up.

Whoa. That's pretty intense.

@ZRX4ME, @GSXR55... you guys need to be aware of this seeing as we have elevated privileges.

 

I've already reset my password as a precaution.

[stiffneck 1,279]

Wasn't able to do mine

Hope to see U Tuesday and we'll (You ) figure it out.

ch

ok

I figured it out and got it changed, but I'd rather walk an I beam at 50ft... with nothing to tie off on.

Looked at a page I'd never seen before, so I didn't touch anything

Thanks to U guys that stay on top of this computer stuff.

[Speed 3,355]

Thank you. I changed it.

Wow, I got a similar email, ignored it, must have been doing the dirty deed in my sleep, oh and without a computer. I just changed my password. They did not show me my password though.

 

SMH...
