Hi there!

I regret to inform you about some sad news for you.
Approximately a month or two ago I have succeeded to gain a total access to all your devices utilized for browsing internet.
Moving forward, I have started observing your internet activities on continuous basis.

Go ahead and take a look at the sequence of events provided below for your reference:
Initially I bought an exclusive access from hackers to a long list of email accounts (in today's world, that is really a common thing, which can arranged via internet).
Evidently, it wasn't hard for me to proceed with logging in your email account (redacted@redacted.com).

Within the same week, I moved on with installing a Trojan virus in Operating Systems for all devices that you use to login to email.
Frankly speaking, it wasn't a challenging task for me at all (since you were kind enough to click some of the links in your inbox emails before).
Yeah, geniuses are among us.

Because of this Trojan I am able to gain access to entire set of controllers in devices (e.g., your video camera, keyboard, microphone and others).
As result, I effortlessly downloaded all data, as well as photos, web browsing history and other types of data to my servers.
Moreover, I have access to all social networks accounts that you regularly use, including emails, including chat history, messengers, contacts list etc.
My unique virus is incessantly refreshing its signatures (due to control by a driver), and hence remains undetected by any type of antiviruses.

Hence, I guess by now you can already see the reason why I always remained undetected until this very letter...

During the process of compilation of all the materials associated with you,
I also noticed that you are a huge supporter and regular user of websites hosting nasty adult content.
Turns out to be, you really love visiting porn websites, as well as watching exciting videos and enduring unforgettable pleasures.
As a matter of fact, I was not able to withstand the temptation, but to record certain nasty solo action with you in main role,
and later produced a few videos exposing your m**turbation and cumming scenes.

If until now you don't believe me, all I need is one-two mouse clicks to make all those videos with everyone you know,
including your friends, colleagues, relatives and others.
Moreover, I am able to upload all that video content online for everyone to see.
I sincerely think, you certainly would not wish such incidents to take place, in view of the lustful things demonstrated in your commonly watched videos,
(you absolutely know what I mean by that) it will cause a huge adversity for you.

There is still a solution to this matter, and here is what you need to do:
You make a transaction of $1290 USD to my account (an equivalent in bitcoins, which recorded depending on the exchange rate at the date of funds transfer),
hence upon receiving the transfer, I will immediately get rid of all those lustful videos without delay.
After that we can make it look like there was nothing happening beforehand.
Additionally, I can confirm that all the Trojan software is going to be disabled and erased from all devices that you use. You have nothing to worry about,
because I keep my word at all times.

That is indeed a beneficial bargain that comes with a relatively reduced price,
taking into consideration that your profile and traffic were under close monitoring during a long time frame.
If you are still unclear regarding how to buy and perform transactions with bitcoins - everything is available online.

Below is my bitcoin wallet for your further reference: bc1q0qn46ytkmyhmpmjcw9jtecdgsfnwnxvwya5yv9

All you have is 48 hours and the countdown begins once this email is opened (in other words 2 days).

The following list includes things you should remember and avoid doing:

There's no point to try replying my email (since this email and return address were created inside your inbox).
There's no point in calling police or any other types of security services either. Furthermore, don't you dare sharing this info with any of your friends.

If I discover that (taking into consideration my skills, it will be really simple, because I control all your systems and continuously monitor them) -
your nasty clip will be shared with public straight away.

There's no point in looking for me too - it won't result in any success. Transactions with cryptocurrency are completely anonymous and untraceable.
There's no point in reinstalling your OS on devices or trying to throw them away. That won't solve the issue,

since all clips with you as main character are already uploaded on remote servers.

Things that may be concerning you:

That funds transfer won't be delivered to me.

Breathe out, I can track down everything right away, so once funds transfer is finished,
I will know for sure, since I interminably track down all activities done by you (my Trojan virus controls all processes remotely, just as TeamViewer).

That your videos will be distributed, even though you have completed money transfer to my wallet.

Trust me, it is worthless for me to still bother you after money transfer is successful. Moreover, if that was ever part of my plan, I would do make it happen way earlier!

We are going to approach and deal with it in a clear manner!

In conclusion, I'd like to recommend one more thing... after this you need to make certain you don't get involved in similar kind of unpleasant events anymore!
My recommendation - ensure all your passwords are replaced with new ones on a regular basis.

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.
