I received a sextortion scam email from [email protected]. The message falsely claimed my device was hacked and that compromising videos were recorded. The sender demanded $1,550 in Litecoin to prevent releasing fabricated videos, providing a wallet address and a 48-hour deadline. This is a known scam and I have received probably five of the similar types in the last 3 months which is a tactic used to intimidate people into paying. I have not paid or responded.(the following is the email sent copy and pasted) Hello, I have some bad news to share. A few months ago, I gained access to your devices and started monitoring your online activities. Are you still surprised how that could happen? Frankly speaking, malware has infected your devices and it's coming from an adult website, which you used to visit. Although all this stuff may seem unfamiliar to you, let me try to explain that to you. With the aid of Trojan Viruses, I managed to gain full access to any PC or other types of devices. That 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. Moreover, I have also received access to your entire contacts list as well as full correspondence. You may be wondering, "My PC and devices are protected by a legitimate antivirus, so how could that happen? Why couldn't I get any alerts?" To be honest, the reply is quite straightforward: malware of mine utilizes drivers, which update the signatures on a 4-hourly basis, which turns them to become untraceable, and hereby makes your antivirus remain idle. I have collected a video on the left screen where you enjoy masturbating, while the video on the right screen shows the video you were watching at that point in time. 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 your e-mail contacts. In addition, I was also able to gain access to all e-mail correspondence as well as messengers used by you and found there some very interesting things. Below are simple steps required for you to undertake in order to avoid that from occurring - transfer $1550 in Litecoin equivalent to my wallet (if you don't know how to complete that, just open your browser and make a google search: "Buy Litecoin"). My Litecoin wallet address is: ltc1qp0jsehr9tw7lqhqgvqypj3v8nqqka6tuvjme0d Once the payment has been confirmed, I shall remove the video without delay, and that is the end of story - afterwards you won't hear about me again for sure. The time for you to perform the transaction is 2 days (48 hours). After this e-mail is opened by you, I will get an automatic notice, which will start my timer. Any effort to complain will not change anything at all, because this e-mail is simply untraceable, just like my Litecoin address. I have been developing these plans for quite an extended period of time; so, don't expect any mistakes from my side. If I get to know that you tried to send this message to anyone else, I will distribute your video as described earlier.

I was emotionally manipulated and financially exploited by Roberta Gabriela Ticarau, a Romanian woman who also goes by the online alias “VanessaEsther.” I first spoke to her on an adult video chat site during a time of personal distress. I wasn’t looking for a relationship — I was looking for someone to talk to. She took advantage of that vulnerability. After gaining my trust, she began inventing crisis after crisis — claiming she was in legal trouble, needed money for medical issues, had no rent, or needed help with a pregnancy. She played on empathy, guilt, and my mental health struggles to push me into sending money. Each time, she promised to pay it back or said her family would — but the excuses and delays never stopped. When I stopped sending money and began seeking help, she escalated to sextortion — threatening to release private content unless I withdrew any complaints. She has also tried to reverse the narrative by claiming I initiated the sexual element of our conversations, which is untrue. I had asked for that to stop and made my boundaries clear. She preys on people going through difficult periods in their life. She uses emotional pressure, false promises, and shame to keep victims quiet. If you encounter Roberta Gabriela Ticarau or “VanessaEsther”, do not engage. She is dangerous and manipulative.

Started with a Whatsapp message including information about my brother, a FB photo of my brother and porn pictures that aren't my brother. They were accusing my brother of being a pedophile. They are wanting a ransom from my brother. They are threatening to contact my female clients if my brother doesn't pay a ransom. They are calling/texting/emailing me non-stop. I haven't spoken to them because I immediately recognized this as a scam.

I received a phone call this morning at 8:12am from a male who stated his name and that he was an FBI agent who has 5 Nigerian citizens in custody regarding sex trafficking, sextortion and a few other things. He said he has a file with my sons name stating that he was involved. He asked why I did not respond to a letter they sent to my home address (he read my address). I said I had not received anything in the mail. He asked why my son was involved in the case, he started to ask another question and I told him I wasn't comfortable answering more questions over the phone, he cut me off repeated his name and department and then said "nevermind, if you don't want to help, we will send someone to arrest your son" and then hung up. I hired a private investigator for a sextortion issue my teen son was involved in 2 years ago (02/03/23). I paid the private investigator and bought the extended plan that meant the investigator would monitor things for two years (internet, social media accounts). I believe the person that called might actually be from the Private Investigator - Digital Forensics Corp in an attempt to scam me into hiring them again. They were very pushy to get us to pay, discouraged us from working with the school and local police and now I am thinking this is another tactic of theirs to get more business from us. I wanted to report this incase they do it to others.

I received this threatening email three time within two weeks time. My step-son and his mother also received the exact same email threats. We all live in different locations and received the emails from different names every time. The email states my full name, home address and cell number with a PDF attachment. The attachment has a full page letter stating he's been watching me through my computer camera and has been by my house (then includes a photo of my view from my house) Then says he will send a video of me doing disgusting things to all of my contacts unless I send him $2,000 via a Bitcoin account. The letter is VERY threatening and scary.

Emailed a pdf containing personal info (phone number, address, google street views) and a sextortion letter demanding money or bitcoin to be paid via QR code

Received a phishing/sextortion email that contains my name, (previous) home address and my phone number.

The scammer tried to sextortion on me claiming they have compromising evidence since I visited adult sites & in 24 hours release it to my family & friends if I don’t pay.

Person said to have watched me through phone. States to release what they captured to my family if I don’t pay. I do not have any explicit material but I do move around the house in minor clothing and wear my rope after a shower before getting dressed.

I received an extortion email asking for $2,000. The email states that if he/she doesn’t receive the money, he will send very personal videos that I supposedly recorded of myself to my contacts. I know it’s a scam because I’ve never recorded such videos. What I am concerned about is that they included my home address and phone number but were stupid enough to include a picture of “my home” in effort to gain credibility but they missed and got a image from a home nearby. They most likely got the image from google maps. I suspect this was part of a data breach and they’re sending emails trying to get money. They included the message in an attached pdf, The message said: “ I suggest you read this message carefully. Take a minute to relax, breathe, and really dig into it.

The scammer texted me stating i owe him money for wasting his womans time and threatened me and my family. Sending beheading pictures. Sent about 10 texts and called 5 times.

They tried to post pictures of my nudity and are trying to ruin my life. They do not have my social security number or account numbers.

I matched with somebody on a dating app called Feeld. The person asked to take the conversation to Whatsapp and so I gave my number. They asked for a selfe to verify my identity, and I then sent them a picture of me naked, and a video of me masturbating. The person's number was +44 7951 830671. The person then continued to ask for more videos, and I got suspicious and blocked them. Today I received a text message from +1 8192720865 saying they had screenshotted my Whatsapp conversation and nude pictures, and have found my list of Facebook friends. They sent pictures of my friends' profiles to prove it, and sent a picture of a message they sent to my close friend on Facebook Messenger sharing my pictures. They have asked for a payment in exchange for deleting the photos, or said they will send them to all my friends otherwise. I have not replied to them since then.

Disguised as someone named Katherine in a dating application named Feeld, pushed for exchange of photos and then proceeded to sextortion.

The person wanted to video chat on the app Signal. While video chatting they screen recorded me then proceeded to say if i don’t want my like ruined and the video sent to family, friends and posted online needed to pay $1500. They sent a screenshot of my Facebook profile picture and 6 people on my friends list they were going to send to. I sent the money western union and was asked to convert it to Philippine currency. Once received they said they needed another $500 to help pay the bills for the “charity “ and to feed the kids and promised they would delete the video. I sent this payment via money gram also converted to Philippine currency. They said they deleted the video. Then the next day (today) told me they didn’t delete it and i need to send another $500 and will give me until 10am tomorrow to pay or they will ruin my life. Hope this helps. I’m still in the middle of this sextortion scam and have reported it to the FBI and IC3 agency with all the tracking numbers and names used for recipients. Be careful out there, it’s not worth it.

You know, I often observe humans when they don't know that someone watched them, at this point the true nature of a person turns up, and normally it is truly disgusting. I am sure that you feel good about yourself, but pay attention to how much you mast*****e, good people do not practice that. U look like a adult human and I don't wanna dictate morals to you, but you act like a teenager. U w**k off as if u are a juvie, then how can you call yourself an adult man? I am not here to give u advice, but I'd like to give you one piece of advice, u should look after ur safety on the Internet. Don't look for a way to reach out to me, it's no use. My requirements are final. In case I don't receive what I need, I have got ur contact list, and they will watch ur dishonor within 78 h.

This company requested money from me in order to help me with my blackmail situation. I paid them but I didn’t see any proof of results. They request only to text them and no live person to talk to you.

The email that I received was a sextortion phishing email, where the person claimed that they hacked the operating system of my device and received full access to my account. They also claimed that they installed a virus in my system, allowing them to control all devices that are connected to my internet. They threatened to create a video of me masturbating in one part of the screen, with the other part containing pornographic content, and that if I don't pay them $1800 via bitcoin in two days, they will send the video to all of my friends and family. He sent the email to a bunch of my friends and family members as well. They also attached a screenshot of my laptop display to the email to make it seem like they had access to laptop. I was not worried about the email as this is an example of a classic sextortion phishing scam, but I was worried when they sent a screenshot of my laptop screen, making me believe that my computer might have been hacked.

Am being harassed from someone in the Philippines. I am a victim of Sextortion

Last night, December 5 I was contacted by anoush_gomez_2471. She said she added me based on our mutual friends. Quote "Hey how are you". I respond and she says this "sorry i know you i just wanted to make friends in my hometown and since we have mutual friends so i decided to add you, sorry if i upset you". I was confused by this since she only said hello. I told her there's no reason to be sorry since nothing happened. She went on to say "Nice to meet you ?? I'm from Ohio, but I old I live Florida( Us )and you?". I replied with Michigan but I'm in Arizona for the holidays. She then goes on to say "I'm 19 and you ??" And "I am happy to meetI work as a beauty salon And you?". I responded saying I'm 19 and currently unemployed. Then she says this "Now I am alone at home very alone in my room and I would like very much the exposure of me naked in the camera, but I hope it stays between you and I promise you that it will rest between us two, is it Okay ?". I was shocked at first but also intrigued and went along with what she was saying. She goes on to say "I see that you do not trust that's the reason why you do not want to be envied.I'm telling you one thing I'm hot right now and I miss *** and I do it too but you do not want anyone to know.Me too I do not want that so trust me too I trust you it remains between us OK". I told her that I trust her and that it would be between us. She then tells me to download the Hangouts app and message her there with the email: [email protected]. One thing I did right to conceal my personal information was to not use my real email. I made a fake one under the name Chris Hemsworth with the email being similar to ******************. I download and message her where her name is now Samira Smith. She asks me if I am alone and proceeds to video call me saying she wants to see my face and then my *****. I was nervous and declined not to but she persisted and said she'd leave if I didn't. Being young and stupid (and *****) I opened camera and followed. She seemed nice at first smiling and waving. She wanted to see my ***** and she'd show me her ***** and ******. I listened and we both disrobed. After ******** ******* for a minute, she asked for my phone number. In the heat of the moment I listened. The next thing I knew I was watching a video of myself nude. She threatened to post it on YouTube and send it to my contacts on Instagram. I panicked and she said I had to pay $4000 to her. She said the money was for her mother's cancer treatment. I told her I didn't have the money and could not pay. After countless threats and prices I just ended the conversation and deleted the fake email and my Instagram account with it. After doing research about sextortion crimes I came to articles saying not to delete chats and other evidence. So I made a fake Instagram account and went to message her. This fake Instagram account is under the name ********* *****. When I woke up on December 6, I had a message from her and the whole story played out the same. One difference however was her location. In the original conversation she said she was from Texas and currently in Florida, where as the new conversation was Ohio and Florida. I went so far to redownload Hangouts but told her I was not alone as to not show myself again and proceeded to come here and report it. I would have reported it last night however I didn't have enough information I felt was needed and then proceeded to make the Instagram account to try and recover their email. I have not deleted any of these chats yet should you contact me or need them later. I really hope you can help.

these two numbers use facebook and whatsapp and one goes by the name Ashley Robertson they steal or hack in your phone or computer or try to get close to you

Scammer approached dery deceiving looking for a romantic relationship. Created trust, demanded compromising pictures and videos. Later requested money or would share with all family and friends in social media. Then demanded i started a new conversation with a different email.

I received a sextortion scam email this morning at 5:41am EST from someone claiming to be named "Stephanie Williams" with an email address of "[email protected]." The body of the email is as follows: "Honestly, I just dread to imagine what queer thoughts are in ur mind. And we won't be able to talk about it. What mindset should a person possess to adore jerking off so badly. The velocity of ur hand impresses so much. I bet u are the only one with this kind of abilities. I laugh at u and simply can't stop it, as though I'm going to explode. What is happening to you and where does this all come from? So many questions are left without answers. I bet even Flash would envy your speed. I highly recommend u not to defy me, otherwise I'll be made to share ur delicate mysteries with the contacts from ur email, and I have not made up my mind yet where to post u for all to see. I urge you to rethink your mindset and your attitude to your safety. I very much doubt about ur soundness, only a stupid man doesn't cover the cam of his device when doing such kind of things." The email then contains a text file that demands I pay money to the email's author via Bitcoin within the next 46 hours. That text is as follows: "I will provide you with a chance to retain your image in front of ur loved ones, Bitcoin 1gs9VisjWjKpfJzPsA5kry4rYnmJzoG4T, 1346 usd. I'm confident 46 h are enough. See what a kind man I am."

Contacted via email as part of a Porn Blackmail/ sextortion Scam. Sender claimed to be Kelly Jones with email address: [email protected] Message: "U are a kind of a super machine in the world of pleasures of the flesh. I, certainly, witnessed a lot of different things, but you extremely surprised me. I have so many questions, and I would like to know the answers, but sadly, I won't have such a chance. How badly a human should like ******* *** to do it this much. Bro, I really can't understand what happens to u. I am willing to grant you an opportunity to preserve your prestige in the eyes of your relatives and redeem yourself. If you defy my requisitions, I will be made to share ur hobby with the contacts from ur e-mail. Taking into consideration your stalemate, I guess, a sensible proposal in this case is BTC 1FR2TfNe5nzFcoFWfTgoXr7LDKqERH6iJ7, 1294 usd. 52 hours will be more than enough to address my claims. In fact I really doubt about your wisdom, for u do not tape the camera of your device while practicing the things like that. My advice to u is not to overindulge your passion. Never forget, this is a great sin for people of faith." I looked at the original message via Gmail and found that the email is from: sonic314-48.consmr.mail.ne1.yahoo.com with IP address 66.163.189.174.

I received an email that says: I have been following u for years, you never stop astounding me by ur fondness for intimate oblectation. U masturbate as if you are a machine gun) It's unfortunate that there is no at the Olympic Games) There is no doubt u would be ranked first) I am impressed by the fact that u’re an adult but you do such nasty stuff which are unnatural for adults. Ur habit is comparable to addiction of drug abusers. It's amazing that u haven’t rubbed ur hand or ur little friend yet) I’m certain you have superpowers, a normal human being will never survive such exertion) When u do such sort of things, I recommend you to tape ur webcam. Otherwise the situation similar to yours can happen. Having got access to your device I have recorded a video with your home hobby. And now I’m gonna post it on the web and send it to the contacts from your mail. When I get my reward, no one is going to see ur domestic hobby.

I was using social media as normal, and the Sextortion person made a fake Instagram account to talk to me. I did not know and did not realize that I was being scammed at first. While we were talking via social media, we were sexting. Then, that fake account tried to video call me, tricked me to strip naked in front of the camera, while they were recording me naked without my permission and knowledge. After that, they use that recorded video to blackmail me, threaten to spread it to all of my friends and family members. They did send to a few of my friends on facebook and instagram to make a statement, asked me to send money via Paypal, with username @sweet8961. The sextortion person uses the name "Marvin Mendoza Gaspar" and appears to be living in Philippines. Here is the social media account they use to blackmail/scam people: https://www.instagram.com/hannahchen39/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100070860701712

I received this email out of the blue on 08/28. I imagine the AOL acct it came from was fake as is “Leo Coleman”, sad commentary on today’s digital society.

I was told if I did not send them ramson they would shared pictures of me in compromising situations to all my contacts

I received an email giving me 40 hours to send $1,099 in BitCoin to a provided crypto wallet address. If not sent, my “compromising videos” would be sent to my email contacts. The email was in extremely broken English and provided no personal information to convince me that it was not a scam.
