Description

Email received: ---> (Owners Name), I suggest you read this message carefully. Take a moment to chill, breathe, and analyze it thoroughly. 'Cause we're about to discuss a deal between you and me, and I don't play games. You do not know me however I know you and right now, you are thinking how, right? I very well know that calling (Owners Number) or visiting (Address) would be a follow up step to contact you if you don't cooperate. Don't even try to escape from this, I know where your family lives and you've no idea what my power is in (City). You've been treading on thin ice with your browsing habits, scrolling through those videos and clicking on links, stumbling upon some not-so-safe sites. I placed a Malware on one such website & you visited it to have fun(you know what I mean). And when you got busy accessing that website, my malware allowed me total control over your device and your device began working as a RDP (Remote Protocol). I can look at everything on your screen, flick on your camera to record you, and you wouldn't even suspect a thing. Oh! you guessed it right, I have recorded you and I've got access to all your contacts, and social media accounts too. Been keeping tabs on your pathetic existence for a while now. It is simply your bad luck that I came across your misadventures. I gave in more days than I probably should have digging into your 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 house (nice setup, by the way). I then developed videos and screenshots where on one side of the screen, there's whatever garbage you had been enjoying, and on the other half, it is someone doing inappropriate things. With simply a click, I can send this filth to all of your contacts. I feel your worry and confusion. As a family man, I am ready to wipe the slate clean, and allow you to continue with your life and forget you ever existed. I am about to offer you two options now. Option One is to disregard my e-mail. You should know what will happen if you take this option. I will send your video to all your contacts. The video is straight fire, and I can't even fathom the embarrasement 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. Second option is to pay me, and be confidential about it. We’ll name this my “keep the secret fee”. Now Lets see what happens if you opt this way out. Your dirty secret remains your secret. I'll wipe everything clean once you come through with the payment. You'll make the payment via Bitcoin only. Pay attention, I'm telling you straight: 'We gotta make a deal'. I want you to know I'm coming at you with good intentions. I honor my obligations. Amount to be paid: $ 1950 My Bitcoin Address: bc1qgpepaejqak7sdmqwc3gqwzytmhksk44lc3796z(Copy it carefully) Let me tell ya, it's peanuts for your tranquility. Notice: You got one day to sort this out and I will only accept Bitcoins (I have a unique pixel in this email, and right now I know that you have read this mail). Once my system will catch that full Bitcoin payment, it'll 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 mail with anyone else or online, your shitty 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, (Owners Name). Honestly, those online tips about covering your camera aren't as useless as they seem. I am waiting for my payment
