Topic: I've just received this scam email. - page 2. (Read 864 times)

It is just unfair... it is one of my best mating arguments and I have to hide it due to social conventions. Free Willy!

Right? What kind of crap ass anonymous hacker signs their name!

I'm not alone in this camp! I think it'd be quite funny tbh if this happened to me (especially since I never go on freeporn sites intentionally).

---

Can I get a copy of the email jet? Better yet try to get the email header and see if you can do some reverse lookups.
Chack the address too it might have gone straight to an exchange lol.

I was having fun going through my spam folder recently and found a load of stuff. A 26 year old woman apparently uploaded "a new naked photo". They're not very good at finding the right audience, I'm more for 16-20 ish because I'm kinda young. And another one said women want to have sex in public places/parks which is a bit of a weird one since I've seen people being arrested for that crap and there's always police in parks (not to mention why would you do it anyway).

lol, would that be Dion Doe?

LOL no one likes a braggard paxmao!  
  P.S. no spamming

In my case a video of me masturbating could actually do good to my social life. I am far from ashamed from what you´d see there 

As an ethical hacker I can tell you dis iz legit. Send the dood 0.583285 BTC


At the same time, if you don't want to pay the script kiddie, have you ever considered a career "in the industry"? 
This career usually brings you on the good paths in life. Take as example Johnny Sins, he is a teacher, an astronaut, a doctor,
a mechanic, gym trainer and everything you want

Jokes apart, there are many things you could do to this guy. Unfortunately I'm not a red hat hacker so I don't
want to be involved to do justice for you without the legal consent.

We should never miss the opportunity to be seriously funny

I read yours Jet Cash,

"Anonymous hacker"   <----- cute

I've had quite a few over the years we could post them here as they come if you like
P.S.----camera stickers y'all

That certainly adds some spice to the video, sir.

(Serious discussion, I know...  I couldn't help myself.)

yes "she" even gave me advice on buying bitcoin and on how to use a wallet address

LOL LOL

You ma​y no​t know me​ and y​o​u a​re​ proba​bly​ wonde​ring why​ yo​u a​re​ getting this e mail, right?
 I'm a​ hacke​r who cracke​d y​o​ur device​s a few mo​nths a​go​.
 I sent y​o​u an ema​il from YOUR hacke​d account.
 I se​tup a malwa​re​ o​n the​ adult vids (po​rno​) we​b-site​ a​nd gue​ss wha​t, y​o​u visite​d this site​ to​ ha​ve​ fun (yo​u kno​w wha​t I mea​n).
 While​ y​o​u were wa​tching videos, y​o​ur interne​t bro​​wser sta​rte​d o​ut functioning a​s a​ RDP (Remo​te​ Control) having a​ ke​y​logger which ga​ve​ me acce​ssibility​ to​ your scree​n a​nd web cam.

 Yo​u e​ntere​d a​ pa​sswo​rds on the website​s you visite​d, and I inte​rcepte​d it.

 Of co​urse y​o​u ca​n will cha​nge​ it, or alrea​dy cha​nged it.
 But it do​e​sn't ma​tte​r, my​ ma​lware update​d it e​ve​ry time​.

 What did I do​?
 I cre​a​te​d a do​uble-scre​en vide​o​. 1st pa​rt sho​ws the​ video​ yo​u we​re wa​tching (y​o​u've got a​ go​od ta​ste​ ha​ha​ . . .), and 2nd pa​rt sho​ws the​ re​co​rding o​f y​our web ca​m.
 Do​ not try to find and de​stro​y my​ virus! (All y​o​ur data​ is alre​ady​ uplo​ade​d to a​ re​mote​ serve​r)

You can report spam I just don't know how useful it is

the Federal Trade Commission at --------       [email protected]        ------------Be sure to include the complete spam email.

I'm 77 in June, and I suspect that may not lead to a prosperous future. I was a HADLer, then I became a HUDLer, and now I'm more of a HEDLer, so I think my new career will have to be as a HODLer.

ps, I was going to say I'm a HIDLer, but I thought that could be misinterpreted.

I've seen a number of these emails lately, with slightly different flavors. The #1 thing that gets me, is where they say that they have accessed all of your personal data and will release it if you don't pay X in BTC, and then go on to tell you how to buy Bitcoin. Come on now, why would they need to tell you how to buy Bitcoin if the know you've accessed the Bitcoin forum, exchanges, crypto news sites, etc, 27,961 times in the past two years.

If it was worth actually talking to them, I'd say something along the lines of that you are an aspiring porn star, and hope that they can help you advertise or something, maybe some cross collaboration to get your career going.

I have received several different email variations of this same basic premise.  I have yet to have any videos of me enjoying a porn site a little too much sent to my co-workers and associates. So I hope I am in the clear! 

The real interest for me is in the source of the email address harvesting. I registered the domain name to see how risky it really was to include email addresses in posts. I had a bit of initial activity, and then things died down as I forgot about the project. I should probably have tried to tie the mail to the source, but I didn't really have time. Anyway, I've deleted the account, and I'll put the name up for sale.

Anyway I'm keeping the McDonalds promo bean stuck over the camera lens. It reminds me that I drink too much coffee.

I received this message here twice LOL:




There are several points which makes the email 100% scam attempts and the user does not even have any idea about me.

1.
This is a simple php function mail("[email protected]","My subject",$msg);
Using this you can send email to anyone even it does not require a sender email.

2. Lie which I have not done for ages. This is a common interest for all male so scammers try it in general.

I am 100% cool with these emails by the way. There are no hackers LOL

Those extortion emails were common several months ago. They included usernames and passwords (that they got from hacked web sites), so they seemed very convincing.

These scammers didn't provide any info to back up their claims, so it's probably just some script kiddies that are just spamming email lists. I would ignore it. Its not worth any more of your time.

There are a number of elements that I take seriously, but not the basic scam - it is obviously just phishing for payments from the unwary.

I ran the anti-virus because the email coincided with a problem I had accessing the control panel for one of my hosting plans, and I suspect that was caused by yet another unwanted, rubbish update by Windows.

For the guidance of other members, these are the things that point to the fact tht the mail is of no consequence.

- There is no truth in the allegation
- The sex of the "teens" is not mentioned, if a video did exist, then this would be included.
- The name part in the mail was just a simple copy of the part of the address to the left of the "@".
- I have never used the email address. It was one that I set up to track spamming from addresses included in forum posts, and it is hosted by me on a shared server.
- It is not possible to create the video clip in the message using the camera on a notebook computer.
- I have stuck a McDonalds promo bean over the camera lens, as it is known that Microsoft, Google and others use the cameras to collect personal information about computer users.
- The sender obviously has no personal info about me, as he requested a US dollar equivalent, and I use Sterling as my fiat currency.
- The mailbox is hosted in the US, and that is probably the limit of the info he has about me.

^ You seemed to be taking this seriously than I'd have expected a pro to, It was an obvious bluff, really. I guess you just chose to take extra precautions since one can't be too careful.

Well the email did prompt me to run a trojan and virus scan on the computer. Both came up negative. I also stuck a McDonalds promo coffee bean over the camera lens. Not that a picture from that would cause much trouble for me. Well I haven't had a shave for a couple of days, so I'm a bit scruffy, but that seems to be trendy at the moment.

You should report it, but I don't think there is anything worth to follow up with this, at least It could serve for reference purposes.

You should be scared man, Lol!
Sometimes I just do wonder how these retards would expect a knowledgeable person to fall for their petty scam tricks, Oh well, except one is guilty right ? I still wouldn't fall victim should I be guilty.
