1BejqWr1pTqaAGB7beBoQzdSFSBmD9ftw5 Bitcoin Email Scam
Text presented in the email scam:
Hey, some time ago your computer was infected with my private software, RAT (Remote Administration Tool).
That’s why I know one of your passwords is: ***** and as you see I sent this email from your email account.
My malware gave me access to all your accounts, contacts and it was possible to spy on you over your webcam.
When I was bored I was spying on you, then once I was shocked seeing you started to MASTRUBATE ;-D and I RECORDED YOU!
I can share the video of you with all your friends, contacts, post it on social networks and everywhere else.
You can stop me, send 900$ with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC). It’s easy to buy bitcoin, for example here: https://www.coinbase.com/buy-bitcoin , https://cex.io/buy-bitcoins , https://www.binance.com/en/buy-Bitcoin , or Google for other exchanger.
My Bitcoin (BTC) wallet is: 1BejqWr1pTqaAGB7beBoQzdSFSBmD9ftw5 Copy and paste it, it’s (CaSE-SEnSetiVE).
Send the Bitcoin (BTC) directly to my wallet, or create your wallet first here: https://login.blockchain.com/#/signup and then send to mine.
If you have received this email multiple times, it’s because of some test I did with my mailer script.
You got 2 days time. Next time update your browser before browsing the web, so you won’t get infected again!
