Bitcoin Extortion Scam - Bitcoin Wallet: 19rFYkzNBqUzHzKZX9McTjtomRv5WMRXTQ

From: Your own email address
Date: 2 January 2025, 4:19
Subject: You have an outstanding payment.

Hello there!

Unfortunately, there are some bad news for you.
Around several months ago I have obtained access to your devices that you were using to browse internet.
Subsequently, I have proceeded with tracking down internet activities of yours.

Below, is the sequence of past events:
In the past, I have bought access from hackers to numerous email accounts (today, that is a very straightforward task that can be done online).
Clearly, I have effortlessly logged in to email account of yours (redacted@redacted.com).

A week after that, I have managed to install Trojan virus to Operating Systems of all your devices that are used for email access.
Actually, that was quite simple (because you were clicking the links in inbox emails).
All smart things are quite straightforward. (x_x)

The software of mine allows me to access to all controllers in your devices, such as video camera, microphone and keyboard.
I have managed to download all your personal data, as well as web browsing history and photos to my servers.
I can access all messengers of yours, as well as emails, social networks, contacts list and even chat history.
My virus unceasingly refreshes its signatures (since it is driver-based), and hereby stays invisible for your antivirus.

So, by now you should already understand the reason why I remained unnoticed until this very moment...

While collecting your information, I have found out that you are also a huge fan of websites for adults.
You truly enjoy checking out porn websites and watching dirty videos, while having a lot of kinky fun.
I have recorded several kinky scenes of yours and montaged some videos, where you reach orgasms while passionately m*st*rbat*ng.

If you still doubt my serious intentions, it only takes couple mouse clicks to share your videos with your friends, relatives and even colleagues.
It is also not a problem for me to allow those vids for access of public as well.
I truly believe, you would not want this to occur, understanding how special are the videos you love watching, (you are clearly aware of that) all that stuff can result in a real disaster for you.

Let's resolve it like this:
All you need is $1250 USD transfer to my account (bitcoin equivalent based on exchange rate during your transfer), and after the transaction is successful, I will proceed to delete all that kinky stuff without delay.
Afterwards, we can pretend that we have never met before. In addition, I assure you that all the harmful software will be deleted from all your devices. Be sure, I keep my promises.

That is quite a fair deal with a low price, bearing in mind that I have spent a lot of effort to go through your profile and traffic for a long period.
If you are unaware how to buy and send bitcoins - it can be easily fixed by searching all related information online.

Below is bitcoin wallet of mine: 19rFYkzNBqUzHzKZX9McTjtomRv5WMRXTQ

You are given not more than 48 hours after you have opened this email (2 days to be precise).

Below is the list of actions that you should not attempt doing:

Do not attempt to reply my email (the email in your inbox was created by me together with return address).
Do not attempt to call police or any other security services. Moreover, don't even think to share this with friends of yours. Once I find that out (make no doubt about it, I can do that effortlessly, bearing in mind that I have full control over all your systems) - the video of yours will become available to public immediately.
Do not attempt to search for me - there is completely no point in that. All cryptocurrency transactions remain anonymous at all times.
Do not attempt reinstalling the OS on devices of yours or get rid of them. It is meaningless too, because all your videos are already available at remote servers.

Below is the list of things you don't need to be concerned about:

That I will not receive the money you transferred.

- Don't you worry, I can still track it, after the transaction is successfully completed, because I still monitor all your activities (trojan virus of mine includes a remote-control option, just like TeamViewer).

That I still will make your videos available to public after your money transfer is complete.

- Believe me, it is meaningless for me to keep on making your life complicated. If I indeed wanted to make it happen, it would happen long time ago!

Everything will be carried out based on fairness!

Before I forget...moving forward try not to get involved in this kind of situations anymore!
An advice from me - regularly change all the passwords to your accounts.

EXTORTION SCAM WARNING - PLEASE READ: The above email is an extortion scam that is attempting to extort or blackmail the email recipient while stating that the recipient’s computer has been hacked and infected with Malware, a Trojan virus or by some sort of remote access tool. Thus, the claims made in the above email are totally fake and false and should be completely ignored.

This meaningless email contains only bogus claims stating that the sender of the extortion email has gained access to your computer and/or your computer’s front-facing camera and that the scammer will soon expose some compromising photos and videos of you that they have obtained by hacking your computer. They will further claim that they will send this compromising content onto your friends, family, relatives, work colleagues, etc unless you pay a stated sum of untraceable money to the scammer via Bitcoin within a short period of time, usually within 24-48 hours.

If the extortion scam email that you received appears to have been sent to you from your own email address then it is not actually coming from your own email address, nor has the scammer hacked into your email account. The scammer is simply sending the scam email out from their own email server while using a software script to spoof the sender's email address to match the recipient's email address of whom they are sending the scam email to. A study of the full email headers from the scam email that you received would reveal that the IP address of the scam email is different to your own IP address and that the scam email was actually sent out from a distant email server.

These type of extortion emails sometimes also claim that if you don’t pay the money that is being demanded from you that some of your other personal identity information (or other personal digital content) may also be exposed publicly on social-media platforms and/or that you could be arrested by a law enforcement agency for not complying. Just more lies. But then the scammer will also claim that if you pay them the money that they are demanding that they will immediately delete all of your files/content and information from their computer systems and no longer attempt to extort you any further.

In all instances, all of the above claims are 100% fake lies. Thus, your computer has not been compromised by any such malicious software and the scammer whom is sending these emails does not have any personal content of yours or any access to your computer camera, your personal photos, your personal files or access to any of the information on your computer at all. They are simply bluffing and spoofing while hoping that one might become worried enough to believe their lies.

However, if you were to actually send the scammer any money then they would not know who paid this money into their Bitcoin wallet because Bitcoin payments are anonymous and there is also no way for you to make any direct contact with the scammers to notify them that a payment was made to their Bitcoin wallet. They would also continue to attempt to blackmail and extort you further by demanding additional money from you if there were a way for them to know that a Bitcoin payment made into their Bitcoin wallet had come from you.

Therefore, if you receive such an email as the one above then do not panic, do not worry, do not become stressed, and definitely do not respond to the scammer's demands in any way since their emails are 100% fake and fraudulent. These type of emails are also known as “ScareWare” or “Sextortion” scams and so you should immediately delete these types of emails and ignore the scammer completely if you receive one. Also, typically, these types of extortion scam emails are just sent out randomly, and in bulk to many thousands of random email addresses at one time, thus nobody is specifically targeting you directly. They likely only have access to your email address and no other personal information about you.

Another form of very common ScareWare is when a scammer claims that they are from the FBI, or some other large government or law-enforcement agency, and the scammer is threatening that you will be arrested or charged with a fictitous crime if you don’t send the scammer a certain amount of money within a short period of time. These are again just more lies and fake, empty threats and you should not panic, worry, or respond to the scammer’s email since these emails are also fictitious and fraudulent claims.
