Crypto Extortion Attempt

Another moron trying to bilk and blackmail innocent persons:

All users please be wary of the following extortion activities being attempted by this individual:
Wendel Sinclair<[email protected]>

uses crypto address - 1PafvGqeiyuG2WNHYBKMrzKH__FGTegjVqWC for deposits obtained from his unwitting victims.

He sends you an e-mail with a grouping of image.png snippings in which he claims to have been monitoring your digital activity on your computer, as well as having activated your webcam for nefarious recordings, including any Facebook and smartphone communications for a designated lengthy period of time (like 151 days), and he then threatens to expose all activities through various forums, regardless of their nature.

He demands that $2,000 USD in Bitcoin (BTC) be deposited into the detailed account within 24 hours otherwise he will post all information through several different forums and other outlets.

This person has been reported to the FBI Chicago branch office - Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) as well as other Federal agencies.

Please do not use the crypto address provided above for any illegal activities (like hacking it and draining the account) as that would not be nice, although very well-deserved.
