I Own Very Sensitive Information About Your Web Activities (Scam)

by Sean Doyle · July 19, 2024

Sextortion email scams are becoming more sophisticated, preying on individuals’ fear and privacy concerns. One common tactic is to make it appear as though the email comes from your own account, leveraging email spoofing to create the illusion of a breach. The scammer claims to have accessed your devices, recorded compromising activities, and demands a ransom in Bitcoin to prevent the release of these alleged recordings.

How the Scam Works

These emails typically start with a claim that the scammer has hacked your devices and gained access to your accounts, including your social media and email. They allege they have used malware to record you through your webcam while you visited adult websites. To make the threat seem credible, they might include an old password or other personal information obtained from data breaches.

Greetings!

First of all, let me tell you, you are one of a kind!

I will get straight to the point. Listen to me carefully.

Several months ago, I was able to hack your operating system and gain full access to all your devices and accounts including messengers, social media profiles, etc.

If you still do not believe me, here is a password to your account on the day when I logged in into it:

I hope, now you begin to get my message.

It goes without saying that I gained access to what you type via keylogger, your internet activity and webcam streaming.

All of this was possible due to your frequent visits to adult websites infected with harmful malware.

In other words, you were under my microscope for many days like some kind of a little bug.

The only difference is that unlike you there is no bug in the world who like to watch pervert porn.

Yes, you understand it right: I was able to see everything on your screen and record video and audio streams of your camera and microphone.

All of these records are currently securely saved on my storage as well as a backup copy.

In addition, I also gained access to your confidential information contained in your emails and chat messages.

Probably you are wondering why your antivirus and spyware defender software allowed me to do all of this?

I am sorry but it's a very stupid question. All antivirus programs turned into useless shit quite a long time ago.

Have you ever heard last years about any "advanced" new technologies in this industry?

Exactly. Nowadays, developers do not give a flying fuck about your security. Therefore, hackers like me took advantage of it.

The more you know my friend, no need to thank me.

Maybe with this fresh knowledge, you will be more serious about your internet security and never take it for granted anymore.

With that out of the way, let's cut to the chase. Using your recordings I made a video compilation,

which shows on the left side the controversial porn scenes of you happily masturbating to,

while on the right side it demonstrates the video you were watching at that moment.. ^.^

There are only 48 hours left since the moment you receive this email until I send this video to all your email and messenger contacts.

But there is more, guess what? I can also make public all your emails and chat history.

You are sick fuck in love with freaky adult content but you are not mentally retarted so I would like to believe, you do not want to let this happen.

Right? Only the most stupid man in the world would be happy if his friends, loved ones and colleagues suddenly knew about something like this.

In other words, there is no way back. It cannot be fixed. However, there is a way forward that both of us can benefit from.

I am a reasonable guy and have no intention to ruin your life for nothing. I'd better like to gain something instead.

Here is your salvation - transfer the Bitcoin equivalent of 1280 USD to my Bitcoin account
(you can google the process in case you don't know how to do that).

Here is my Bitcoin address: 18aDDFMWiMPREjXZ5qmYrhd9xCyNpB6E2U

Once I am notified of receiving it, I will delete all those videos and disappear from your life for good.
As I mentioned, you have only 48 hours to make a transaction after you open this email.

Believe me, I am always one step ahead so no way in hell you could fool me.
If I discover that you shared this message with others, I will send and publish your videos in no time.

P.S. It's in your power to make it nice for both of us.
