Good day!

Hello!

I want to inform you about a very poor predicament for you. But, you can benefit from it, if you will act intelligently.

Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a monitoring software application that installs on machines and smartphones and allows cybercriminals to track the activity of device operators. It provides access to your video feed, chat applications, electronic mail, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, Windows. I suppose, you by now realized where I am going.

It’s been a couple of weeks since I installed it on each your machines because of you were not quite choosy about what links to press on the online. During this period, I’ve gained knowledge about all aspects of your private life, nonetheless one is of notable significance to me.

I’ve captured various recordings of you self-pleasuring to exceedingly controversial adult clips. Given that the “dubious” category is almost always the same, I can conclude that you have sick fetish.

I also stored each your essential files - records, pictures, videos, etc. - to a distant server.

I question you’d want your friends, relatives, and colleagues to know about it. However, I can achieve it in a couple of clicks. All contact in your phone list will abruptly obtain these videos - on Whats App, on Telegram, on Skype, on email - everywhere. It is going to be a flood that will sweep away everything in its course, and first of all, your past life. Don’t consider of yourself as an innocent sufferer. Nobody knows where your corruption might lead in the time ahead, so view this a kind of deserved retribution to halt you. Better postponed than not at all. I’m some kind of Deity who sees everything. However, don’t panic. As we are aware, God is forgiving and forgiving, and so do I. Nonetheless my forgiveness is not without cost.

Send $1300 USD to my BTC crypto wallet:

Let’s confront it, that’s a fairly insignificant sum in current world.

Once I receive verification of the exchange, I’ll permanently delete every clips compromising you, remove Pegasus from all of your items, and disappear from your existence. You can be certain - my gain is only money. If not, I would not be writing to you, however destroy your existence without a notice in a moment.

I will be informed when you view my email, and from that moment, you have exactly 12 hours to transfer the money. If cryptocurrencies are unchartered waters for you, don’t worry; it’s fairly straightforward. Just google “crypto exchange” and then it will be no more challenging than buying a couple of useless stuff on Amazon.

I firmly caution you against the next:

• Do not reply to this message. I dispatched it from a temp address so I’m untraceable.

• Do not get in touch with the authorities. I have access to all your equipment, and at the time that I find out you sprinted to the police, recordings will be released.

• Do not try to reset or eliminate your equipment. As I noted above: I’m tracking all your actions, so you either accept to my demands or the clips are released.

In addition, don’t neglect that virtual currencies are untraceable, so it is difficult to trace me using the supplied address. Good fortune, my perverted friend. I sincerely hope you will arrive at the correct decision and this is the final time we communicate from each other.

And some friendly suggestions: from now on, don’t be so careless about your digital protection.

I personally receive such emails every couple of weeks. The good news is that I forwarded them to the US Secret Service that is responsible for investigating crypto scams. The email for them is:

[email protected]

I had their agent email me back with a request for additional information. I was pleased to find out that they actually read their emails.

Hi!

I feel sad to alert you about some disheartening information for you. Roughly 1 month or two ago, I managed to succeed total entry to each your devices utilized for surfing the web. From here on out, I have started monitoring your internet actions on a ongoing basis.

Go ahead and take a glance at the chain of events provided following for your consideration: Initially, I bought an exclusive entry from hackers to a long list of e-mail accounts within the current era, that is really a common situation, which can be arranged via online. Obviously, it wasn’t challenging for me to continue with accessing your electronic mail account.

Within the same week, I moved on with installing a computer virus in OS for all machines that you utilize to sign in to e-mail. To be honest, it was not a difficult task for me at each since you were gracious to select a few of the links in your incoming messages before. Yes, brainiacs are in our midst.

Owing to this virus, I’m able to gain access to the entire collection of settings in machines such as your video camera, input device, audio input, and others. As a consequence, I seamlessly extracted each data, as well as photos, online activity records, and other types of data to my servers. Moreover, I have entry to each social networks accounts that you often access, including e-mails, including conversation records, instant messaging apps, contacts list, etc. My unique virus is incessantly updating its signatures due to control by a program, and hence remains invisible by any type of malware detectors.

Consequently, I guess by now you can already understand the motive why I consistently remained unseen until this very communication…

During the process of gathering of all the materials associated with you, I also noticed that you are a huge enthusiast and regular user of platforms featuring adult material. Turns out to be, you really enjoy exploring porn websites, as well as seeing exciting footage and savoring memorable delights. As a matter of truth, I was not able to withstand the allure, nonetheless to document certain lewd solo acts with you in main role, and later produced some recordingsshowing your masturbation and cumming scenes.

If until now you do not accept me, all I necessitate is a few mouse taps to make all those clips with everyone you are familiar with, featuring your peers, coworkers, relatives and others as well. Moreover, I’m competent to upload every that content on the internet for everybody to see. I sincerely feel, you certainly would not desire such incidents to take place, in view of the lewd acts demonstrated in your commonly viewed recordings, you absolutely know what I imply by that. It will lead to a major challenge for you.

There is remains a fix to this situation, and here is what you must do: You execute a transaction of $1300 USD to my account the value in crypto, which is recorded according to the exchange rate at the date of money transfer, therefore upon receiving the transaction, I’ll promptly eliminate every those lustful clips without waiting. After that, we can pretend there was no taking place previously. Additionally, I can assure that every the Trojan software is going to be disabled and removed from all machines that you utilize. You have absolutely nothing to be concerned about, because I keep my word at each occasions.

That is indeed a beneficial arrangement that comes with a fairly reduced cost, taking into consideration that your information and activity were under intense observation during a long time frame. If you are even unclear regarding how to purchase and carry out trades with cryptocurrency - everything is available on the internet.

Below is my BTC wallet for your payment ($1300 USD):

Let’s face it, that is a fairly insignificant amount in current society.

All you have is 12 time and the countdown begins once this message is accessed that is to say 2 days.

The following catalog contains things you should note and avoid doing:

• There is no reason to attempt answering to my e-mail since this email and reply address were established inside your inbox.

• There’s no point in contacting law enforcement or any other types of security services either. Furthermore, don’t you dare sharing this data with any of your contacts. If I find out that given my expertise, it will be really straightforward, because I oversee each your networks and repeatedly monitor them - your disturbing footage will be shared with the public immediately.

Breathe out, I can track down everything right away, so after the funds transfer process is finished, I’ll understand for sure, since I continuously track down every transactions done by you my Trojan manages each operations remotely, simply as remote control applications.

• That your clips will be distributed, even though you have finalized the money movement to my address. I assure you, it is useless for me to remain harass you after the funds movement is successful. Also on, if that was ever part of my agenda, I would ensure it happen way sooner!

We are going to tackle and handle with it in a open manner!
