Okay so today, I got a random fishy email that got my attention. The email was placed in the Spam and it is the first time I am seeing something like this. I know it is a scam because the email that they have sent me looks weird. I am sending the whole mail that I got.
I know __(here was sitting some old password of mine)______ is one of your password on day of hack..
Lets get directly to the point.
Not one person has paid me to check about you.
You do not know me and you're probably thinking why you are getting this email?
in fact, i actually placed a malware on the adult vids (adult porn) website and you know what, you visited this site to experience fun (you know what i mean).
When you were viewing videos, your browser started out operating as a RDP having a key logger which provided me with accessibility to your display and web cam.
immediately after that, my malware obtained every one of your contacts from your Messenger, FB, as well as email account.
after that i created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were viewing (you have a nice taste omg), and 2nd part displays the recording of your cam, and its you.
Best solution would be to pay me $4902.
We are going to refer to it as a donation. in this situation, i most certainly will without delay remove your video.

You could go on your life like this never happened and you will not ever hear back again from me.
You'll make the payment via Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search 'how to buy bitcoin' in Google).
if you are planning on going to the law, surely, this e-mail can not be traced back to me, because it's hacked too.
I have taken care of my actions. i am not looking to ask you for a lot, i simply want to be paid.
if i do not receive the bitcoin;, i definitely will send out your video recording to all of your contacts including friends and family, co-workers, and so on.
Nevertheless, if i do get paid, i will destroy the recording immediately.
If you need proof, reply with Yeah then i will send out your video recording to your 8 friends.
it's a nonnegotiable offer and thus please don't waste mine time & yours by replying to this message.
I looked up on the internet and there are a lot of people that got the same email and thought it was a scam. First of all the password that they have inserted is one of my old passwords that I have used it before like 2 years or something. Second of all, I always put something on the camera of my laptop and I am not even a fan of that kind of websites that they are saying in the message itself. And the third and final thing that I have noticed is that they gave a threat on me about publishing some videos/photos of myself to my friends/family and contacts, but never put a proof in the mail, according to me if they had something they would've put some pictures or snapshots as an evidence so they can threat me. The only thing that you can do is report the message and most important of all change your passwords and DO NOT reply to this message. I really hope that you can share your experience if you had something similar like this.
Have a nice day and stay safe!
