Description

Scam report entered on behalf of victim by BBB Employee. The victim received an extortion email with the following text that included a photo of an old property. I know that calling ********* or visiting **** ** ********* ***** would be a convenient way to have a word with you in case you don't cooperate. Don't even try to hide from this. You have no idea what I'm capable of in Scottsdale. I suggest you read this message carefully. Take a minute to relax, breathe, and really dig into it. 'Cause we're about to discuss a deal between you and me, and I ain't playing games. You do not know anything about me whereas I know EVERYTHING about you and you must be thinking how, right? Well, you've been a bit careless lately, scrolling through those videos and venturing into the darker corners of cyberspace. I actually placed a Malware on a porn website and you accessed it to watch(you get my drift). When you were busy watching those videos, your system started functioning as a RDP (Remote Device) which gave me complete control over your device. I can peep at everything on your screen, flick on your camera and mic, and you wouldn't even notice. Oh, and I have got access to all your emails, contacts, and social media accounts too. Been keeping tabs on your pathetic existence for a while now. It's simply your bad luck that I saw your bad deeds. I invested in more time than I probably should've exploring into your personal life. Extracted quite a bit of juicy info from your system. and I've seen it all. Yeah, Yeah, I've got footage of you doing filthy things in your room (nice setup, by the way). I then developed videos and screenshots where on one side of the screen, there's the videos you had been watching, and on the other half, it is your vacant face. With simply a single click, I can send this video to all of your contacts. I feel your worry and confusion. Wholeheartedly, I am willing to wipe the slate clean, and allow you to continue with your daily life and forget you ever existed. I will provide you two alternatives. Option One is to ignore this message. Let me tell you what is going to happen if you opt this option. Your video will get sent to all your contacts. The video is lit, and I can't even fathom the humiliation you'll endure when your colleagues, friends, and fam watch it. But hey, that's life, ain't it? Don't be playing the victim here. Wiser second option is to pay me, and be confidential about it. We will call it my “privacy tip”. Lets discuss what happens if you choose this way out. Your filthy secret remains private. I'll destroy all the data and evidence once you come through with the payment. You will make the payment by Bitcoins only. I want you to know I'm aiming for a win-win here. I am a man of my words. Amount to be sent: USD 1950 BITCOIN ADDRESS IS: 18xJxocgpEc2PRbj5faQywSuMrqw4vncq8 Let me tell ya, it's peanuts for your tranquility. Important: You now have one day to make the payment and I will only accept Bitcoins (I've a special pixel within this e-mail, and now I know that you've read this e-mail). My system will catch that Bitcoin payment and wipe out all the dirt I got on you. Don't even think about replying to this or negotiating, it's pointless. The email and wallet are custom-made for you, untraceable. If I suspect that you've shared or discussed this message with anyone else, the video will instantly start getting sent to your contacts. And don't even think about turning off your phone or resetting it to factory settings. It's pointless. I don't make mistakes, *********. Can you notice something here? Honestly, those online tips about covering your camera aren't as useless as they seem. I am waiting for my payment..
