On edit: I am not the least bit worried about this. I just thought it was funny since I have never visited a porn site and I don't have a Facebook account. But gentlemen of DU, I know some guys like porn, so be careful out there!

I guess you're wondering why you're receiving this email right?

It would be highly beneficial to your privacy if you didn't ignore it.

I have placed a Malware on an adult website (ÖPÖ0ÖrÖn site) and as you visited and watched the video your device has been affected, placing a spyware on your machine. Which has recorded you both with webcam and screen capture while you had your 'funTime' allowing me to see exactly what you see.

This has also affected your smartphone via an exploit. So do not think for one minute you can circumvent this by reinstalling your OS. You have already been recorded.

After that my Malvware collected all your messengers, emails and social networks contacts.

I guess this isn't good news right?

But don't worry too much, there ís a way we can fix this privacy issue. All i require is a Bitcoin payment of £750 which i think is a fair price considering the circumstances.

The address to make the payment is: 35ZnzaxANgFSFkoqFytGMckXrkwo7vbgDC

If you don't understand bitcoin, go on youtube and search for ìt how to buy bitcoin or google for ìlocalbitcoinsî, its pretty easy to do it.

You have only 48 hours after reading this e-mail to send payment (Be warned i know when you have opened and read this email, i have placed a pixel image inside it. Which enables me to know when you have opened the messaged on exactly what day and time)

If you decide to ignore this email, i will have no choice but to forward the video to all the collected contacts you have on your email account, as well as post on your social media accounts, and send as a personal message to all facebook contacts. and of course make the video publicly available on internet, via youtube and adult websites. considering your reputation, i highly doubt you want to be exposed to your family/friends/coworkers during this current time.

You can actually go to the police, but these people will not likely do anything, the most significant stuff they can do is lock my wallet and you will deprive other people from the opportunity to pay me. So think twice before doing foolish things.

If i receive payment all the material will be destroyed and you will never hear from me again. If i do not get my funds for virtually any reason, such as the inability to send cash to a blacklisted wallet ñ your reputation is going to be wrecked. So make it fast.

Do not try to make contact with me because am using a victim email that was hacked and exposed.

If you don't believe and want proof just reply to this email with ìPROOFî and i will send your video to 5 of your contacts via email, and post on your facebook wall. In which you will be able to remove it once, not forever.

1. Get the header information and find out what the IP address is

curious to see where it is coming from.

2. Is this what you mean?

ANTHONY CREEK <[e-mail]>

[mikeysnot]

4. No that is the from address

which could be spoofed.

Depends on you email client, what are you using? LMK and I can help you get it.

Just to be safe, change your FB password, and email password. If you can do it on another machine.

7. I don't have a facebook account. The camera on my computer has been disabled for quite some time.

The message was sent to my work email account. We have pretty solid security for our devices because we perform government work.

I'm not worried about this AT ALL. I just thought it was funny.

12. Unfortunately people fall for this

I was just curious where it was originating from...

My clients are getting trolled from Ukraine and the Russian fed.

13. I get it. I can see how it would be frightening if they included some personal info in the email.

And I guess most men have visited porn sites at some time or another.

3. Here is what this is about

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/07/sextortion-scam-uses-recipients-hacked-passwords

I know a few people that got them.

5. The article says: "The email now references a real password previously tied to the recipient's email

No password was included in the email I received.

It was sent to my work email address. We have pretty tight security because we perform government work. The camera in my computer has been disabled.

I have never in my life visited a porn site. I don't know too many women who watch porn.

I don't have a facebook account.

This is the third time I have received such an email this week.

6. It's a less sophisticated version of the same scam

8. Hmmm? Keep us posted. I'm not in favor of paying the bastard anything.

[fleur-de-lisa]

11. I'm not worried about it at all.

I am a woman. I have never visited a porn site in my life.

The message was sent to my work email. We have pretty good security. And the camera in my computer was disabled by our IT guy a long time ago.

I don't have a Facebook account.

I think it was just a feeble attempt. But I'm guessing most men have visited porn sites, so maybe the scam works with some people.

9. Do this:

10. oooooh noooooooo ;)

14. Have you told your IT people at work? There might be concern about breech of the system.

15. I've gotten a blackmail e-mail like this one before

It might have been the same exact e-mail. Basically, they were going to reveal to my contacts that I went to some porn site I've never been to unless I send them some money. Lol! That was a funny one. They never followed through on their threat. It would have been funny if they did. Would have been an interesting conversation starter. lol!
