Just unfortunate. People got consumed of greet just always looking for ways to get money from anyone else.
I never face that situation and never got that kind of email. I hope that I don't get the email and face that situation. Nowadays, some people are trying to get our money. So we should be more careful when using and click something which comes from the internet.

Hi,
I recently fell victim of a scam attempt and I thought I would let you all guys know. It is very well social-engineered, seems very credible and it really makes you think that maybe your computer was compromised and keylogged.
Basically they claim to have a keylogger installed on your system, to have hijacked the camera and have been able to hijack your screen - all while you - the victim - has been browsing porn sites.
Then I found a link on the internet and it seems that I was just one of many attempted victims:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/6v2ji9/a_little_blackmail_email_in_my_inbox_this_morning/
The attacker wants some money (ranging from 300 to 350 USD in Bitcoin) sent to some Bitcoin addresses they provide.
Hope you are all well and didn't fall victims!

Like most of the other industries, now the scammers are attempting to exploit the crypto-market through this kind of fraudulent activities. people who access the vulnerable website must take precautions to get themselves protected by knowing the impact of these threats. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience.
He could take that money and spend on an English course lol
Thanks for sharing that I think one of the greatest roles of our community is to share those things and by doing that we can help each other to stay in work carefully and sober facing another scam attempt.
This is not the first times that hackers want bitcoins. They think that bitcoin will change their future as if it is too easy to survive in this crypto world. Without passion it is really hard to survive.
Thanks for letting us know. I haven’t received this type of email yet. Online scams are increasing nowadays. It is really irritating. The online world is really promising and these scams are making it polluted.
Really appreciate your effort to let everyone know of the possible danger of falling prey to any of these multiple scams that are surfing throughout the web.
Thank you for providing this information. Avoid filling out personal information when you receive an unclear message. Be careful and keep it safe and secure because you can be attacked by hackers. I'll tell my friends about this.
I received dozens of emails that were clearly fraudulent, but I ignored them.
I'm sure they'll get tired of themselves.

Such an immature form of scam but surprisingly, many fall victim of this. It’s obviously just a bluff but people who get too engrossed in their fear fail to think rationally and all their wits go out the door all of a sudden. Why should it matter if your screen has been hijacked while you were browsing porn sites. It’s definitely a privacy violation but i don’t find it as a threat. I’m guessing that no proof to show that you have been hijacked can be shown by these scammers so why waste a single cent on them?
Thank you very much for alerting. These types of scams are spreading all over the internet now. Everyone should be real cautious about it.
So far there has been no report of someone getting hacked by these mails, however, it is wise to take extra measures to secure your account because the market is growing and so is crypto's price.
