Bitcoin Extortion Scam - Bitcoin Wallet: 1Gcpk3gmSCZDdihRp3Kc5HAsHoBcNhzXTQ

Post by Jokerr »

From: Your own email address
Date: 19 April 2025, 4:19
Subject: Pending for payment.

Greetings!<br>
Have you seen lately my e-mail to you from an account of yours?<br>
Yeah, that merely confirms that I have gained a complete access to device of yours.<br>
<br>
Within the past several months, I was observing you.<br>
Are you still surprised how could that happen? Frankly speaking, malware has infected your devices and it's coming from an adult website, which you used to visit. <br>
Although all this stuff may seem unfamiliar to you, but let me try to explain that to you.<br>
<br>
With aid of Trojan Viruses, I managed to gain full access to any PC or other types of devices.<br>
That merely means that I can watch you whenever I want via your screen just by activating your camera as well as microphone, while you don't even know about that. <br>
Moreover, I have also received access to entire contacts list as well as full correspondence of yours.<br>
<br>
You may be wondering, "However, my PC is protected by a legitimate antivirus, so how could that happen? Why couldn't I get any alerts?" <br>
To be honest, the reply is quite straightforward: malware of mine utilizes drivers, which update the signatures on 4-hourly basis, <br>
which turns them to become untraceable, and hereby making your antivirus remain idle.<br>
<br>
I have collected a video on the left screen where you enjoy wanking, while the video on the right screen shows the video you were watching at that point of time.<br>
Still puzzled how much damage could that cause? One mouse click is enough for me to share this video to your social networks, as well as e-mail contacts of yours.<br>
In addition, I am also able to gain access to all e-mail correspondence as well as messengers used by you.<br>
<br>
Below are simple steps required for you to undertake in order to avoid that from occurring - transfer $1550 in Bitcoin equivalent to my wallet <br>
(if you don't know how to complete that, just open your browser and make a google search: "Buy Bitcoin").<br>
<br>
My bitcoin wallet address (BTC Wallet) is: 1Gcpk3gmSCZDdihRp3Kc5HAsHoBcNhzXTQ <br>
<br>
Once the payment has been confirmed, I shall remove the video without delay, and that is end of story - afterwards you won't hear about me again for sure.<br>
The time for you to perform the transaction is 2 days (48 hours).<br>
After this e-mail is opened by you, I will get an automatic notice, which will start my timer.<br>
<br>
Any effort to complain will not change anything at all, because this e-mail is simply untraceable, just like my bitcoin address.<br>
I have been developing these plans for quite an extended period of time; so, don't expect any mistake from my side. <br>
<br>
If, get to know that you tried to send this message to anyone else, I will distribute your video as described earlier.<br>

EXTORTION SCAM WARNING - PLEASE READ: The email posted above is a typical extortion scam attempting to blackmail the recipient by falsely claiming that their computer has been hacked, infected with malware, or compromised by a trojan virus or remote access tool. These claims are completely false and should be disregarded.

The email makes baseless allegations, stating that the sender has gained access to your computer and/or your computer’s front-facing camera. The scammer then threatens to expose compromising photos and videos allegedly obtained by hacking your computer. They may also claim that they will send this content to your friends, family, coworkers, and others unless you pay a specified sum, typically in Bitcoin, within a short time frame—usually 24 to 48 hours.

If the extortion email appears to have been sent from your own email address, rest assured that your email account has not been hacked. The scammer is merely using a technique called email spoofing, which allows them to send the scam from their own server while displaying your email address as the sender. Analyzing the full email headers of the extortion scam email would reveal that the email originated from a different IP address and server, not from your own email account.

These types of emails often make additional false claims, such as threatening to expose other personal information or digital content, or even to have you arrested by law enforcement for not complying. Again, these are lies. The scammer may further promise that paying the demanded sum will lead to the immediate deletion of all compromised files and the cessation of future threats. Again, more lies because they aren't really in possession of any of your personal content.

In every instance, the claims made in these emails are entirely fabricated. Your computer has not been compromised by any malware, and the scammer does not have access to any of your personal files, photos, or camera. They are simply attempting to deceive you into paying money to them by bluffing and manipulating your fear.

If you were to send money to the scammer, they would not be able to trace the payment back to you, as Bitcoin transactions are anonymous. As a result, they would have no way of knowing that you were the one who made the payment that was made to their Bitcoin wallet. Moreover, once the payment is made, there would be no way for you to contact the scammer about the payment, and they would likely continue to extort you for additional money if they were even able to identify you as the payer.

If you receive an email like this, do not panic, stress, or respond in any way. These emails are 100% fraudulent. This type of scam, commonly referred to as “ScareWare” or “Sextortion,” relies on fear and deception. Simply delete the email and ignore the scammer. Typically, such emails are sent out randomly to thousands of email addresses, meaning they are not targeting you personally. The scammer likely only has your email address and no other personal information about you.

Another common form of ScareWare involves scammers pretending to be from agencies like the FBI or other law enforcement bodies. They will threaten you with arrest or charges for a fictitious crime unless you send them money. These are also false threats and should be ignored.

In conclusion, don’t let these emails cause you distress. Recognize them for what they are, which are merely fraudulent, empty threats and do not take any action other than deleting the email and ignoring it.

If you want to scan your computer for possible malware or trojans, which is always good to do as a safety precaution, then you can go to https://malwarebytes.com to download, install and run Malwarebytes to perform a free malware check on your computer for any possible presence of malicious software.

Hitman Pro is another software package which offers a fully functional (30-day free trial) anti-malware program that you can also run on your computer and which cleans malware, viruses, trojans, worms, keyloggers, rootkits, trackers, spyware and more. You can download it here: https://hitmanpro.com

If you are interested to see the status of any Bitcoin wallet, and how much money has been recently transferred in and out of the wallet, then go to https://bitref.com/. Once on the website, enter the Bitcoin wallet address from the above email into the box and it will show you a history of the last 50 payments (if any) made in and and out of that Bitcoin wallet.
FRAUD WARNING: The above information is being provided as a fraud warning. Do not contact the sender of the above email. The source of this information is from a scammer who is a criminal imposter. Any names of real people being used within the above information from this imposter is unauthorized and illegal. Do not provide this scammer any of your personal information. Do not send them any of your personal identity documents. Do not send them any money. Do not call any phone numbers that they provide to you. This email, and all of its content, are part of a fraudulent, criminal act and the only intention of the scammer who sent this email is to steal money and to obtain personal information leading to identity theft of the scam victim. If you received the same email (or one very similar) then stop all communication with the scammer immediately. All claims made within the email are lies fabricated by a fraudster and this criminal will never provide you any money, assets, investments, property, commodities, merchandise, employment, romance, or anything of value. Every email scammer uses a completely false identity, thus their names used in the email (and any company name, employment, occupation, street address and/or location information that they provide) is 100% fake. Any photos, scans of passports or other personal identity documents and/or any other documents (government, corporate, legal, financial, etc) or forms that they send to you are all stolen, fake and/or forged and the file attachments they send with their scam emails may also contain viruses. Also avoid all website links that any scammer sends to you because their websites are all fraudulent and may also contain hidden Malware, Trojans, Spyware and/or key loggers. In conclusion, do not send any money to this scammer or you will lose it permanently. Contact with this scammer also places you at risk of identity theft and having your identity wrongfully used for illegal activities, which can place you in legal, financial, and physical danger.
