The full text of the scam is:
You may not know me, and you are probably wondering why you are getting this email, right?
I’m a Hacker who cracked your devices. I setup a malware on the adult video (porn) website and guess what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out functioning as a “HRDP” – Hidden Remote Desktop Protocol having a keylogger which gave me accessibility to your screen and webcam. After that, my software program obtained all your contacts and files. You entered a password on the websites you visited, and I intercepted it. Of course, you can change it, or already changed it. But it doesn’t matter, my malware updated it every time.What did I do?
I generated a backup of your every system (private document files, video, photos, all files).
I created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you’ve got a good taste ha ha . . .), and 2nd part shows the recording of your webcam.
Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data is already uploaded to a remote server)
Do not try to contact me. Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help either, since your data is already on a remote server.
I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment, as you are not my single victim. This is a hacker code of honor. Don’t be mad at me, everyone has their own work.exactly what should you do?
Well, in my opinion, $ 2000 (USD) Dollars is a fair price for our little secret. You’ll make the payment by Bitcoin (search “Bitcoin Wallet” in Application Store then Download & Install) Make a deposit to your wallet. After that, transfer it to my wallet.
My Bitcoin (BTC) wallet address: 1A9GdMqaXmhgcjpxe***wqpjAuVtkDim6R9VK (Removed *** at the midle of address to get valid address) Important: You have 5 days in order to make the payment.Important:
You have 2 days in order to make the payment. (I’ve a Facebook pixel in this mail, and at this moment I know that you have read through this email message). To track the reading of a message and the actions in it, I use the Facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (Everything that is used for the authorities can help us.) If I do not get the Bitcoin, I will certainly send out your video recording to all your contacts including relatives, coworkers and all contacts. Having said that, if I receive the payment, I’ll destroy the video immediately. If you need evidence, reply with “Yes” and I will certainly send out your video recording to your 6 contacts. It is a non-negotiable offer, don’t waste my personal time and yours by responding to this message.
