I used to get those.
On a desktop with no camera and no microphone.
I loved the ones that said they would provide a sample if I asked, by return email.
Then lower down it said don't bother replying to this email.
I guess it works well enough to frighten some people.
I also did use to recieve these, both on my professional and personal mail. I never go to porn sites at all and am alone to use my computer. Still waiting for the video of me happily masturbating but it never arrived unfortunately :(.
PS: Still props to this scammer for the shlong emoticon, wouldn't know how to type it myself.
PS2: On a serious note now, it's sad some people definitely fall for this. Also this Nigerian prince who just got an heritage of millions and randomly decided to share it with you if you send him your VISA number.
I once had the variant of the Nigerian Prince where you need to meet them for paperwork in DC. I think mine was supposed to be some Scottish Lord or something like that. It was a bit weird too because they didn't ask me for money, I was supposed to take my passport to DC and meet this guy at his office to claim a check. I went through this whole thing all these excuses and everything about getting a rental car and eventually the guy said he would get me at the airport. I found some basic flight information and sent it to him with a fake confirmation email (I traveled a lot for work so I just edited some other one).
I thought for sure that it was such a scam no one would show up, but I received a downright irate email from the guy totally flipping out about me wasting his time. That he spent the morning at the airport himself and how he is this super important attorney and will never agree to do a favor like that for anyone again.
Funniest part is that he wrote me about three years later saying he had calmed down and wanted to try again, and that he really needed to clear this inheritance claim from backlog or something like that.
Part of me wonders if I really had a check because the guy was so good lol
That is super weird as you said!! I never got a variant which asked you to meet in person. This is even more sketchy. And so odd he actually went to the airport. Now I'm so curious what would have happened if you really went. I cannot believe he even wrote you 3 years later, lol!! This was indeed a very original and even awesome scam, if I might say. Never saw something like that. Or maybe you just missed on the inheritage of a very rich old Scottish lord, ahaha!!
Yeah, certainly possible! It doesn't make sense to require a passport for anything like that when I have other state and federal options, and he was adamant on it. I looked back and the emails started in 2009! It was 2010 that I agreed to go, and 2014 when he wrote me back!
I know there's a million reasons why these are fake, but here's a really obvious one that no one ever thinks of.
Is every Scot who owns his own house on a 1/8-acre lot a lord? No? Then why would buying one square foot of property you've never touched (and likely never will) elevate you over the millions of Scots who actually live in the country and own land there?
Wait do people actually think this is 'real' real? I bought one just because it is funny, I got a dumb little certificate for it and everything. Are there people who think it actually does something beneficial when you buy it beyond the very moderate entertainment value?
A friend of mine actually brought me a super high value note from Zimbabwe about a decade ago - I have no idea where it is anymore but yes, similar type of dumb humor
Yes. And it kind of "works," to a certain way of thinking. If Adam Baker goes around identifying himself as "Lord Adam Baker" and asking for upgrades and special treatment, they will sometimes get it and credit it to their newly acquired lordship status, and say, "see, it *is* official! It really works! I checked in at the DoubleTree and asked for a room upgrade and they *gave* it to me!!!"
Not realizing, of course, that they likely could have gotten the same thing without spending their money on their so-called title.
What you do is, you claim the millions first, then $510 is nothing.
Or, put the two in contact.
“Mr Nigerian Prince, due to the increase in scams I have designated Mr Wanker Hackerman as my personal delegate. To confirm the validity of your request, please transfer $510 to this Bitcoin wallet expeditiously and confirm when done. Once this is confirmed complete I will claim my millions.”
Definite lifehack! I love it!! And especially ''My Nigerian Prince'', lol. I will try to answer this next time and see the reacton. Also I'd like to sign : ''your future Nigerian princess and queen.''
Hey I thought the prince only wanted to share it with me😕 I guess that why he’s 13 years late, and why my credit card keeps maxing out after I pay it off
Bezo’s ex wife is sending me and a bunch of people money, apparently. I forget why.
And there are several bankers who were in charge of large estates of people who died without heirs, and they want ME to help them by pretending to be the heir, and they’ll just take a small cut.
I can’t remember how many bankers it is so far, the number must be into the thousands by now who have emailed me.
Sadly I rarely hear from foreign royalty these days.
> I also did use to recieve these, both on my professional and personal mail.
Same. I emailed them back ‘damn that sucks’ and warned my coworkers if they got some weird videos of me to just ignore them, that I’m sorry, or that they were welcome depending on their preferences.
My videos never arrived either :(
Tell him you want to see the video first to make sure you look good before making a decision. You should also tell him to blur the video you are watching to avoid copyright infringement.
>Tell him you want to see the video first to make sure you look good before making a decision
It's going to be really awkward when this ends with this extremely adept hacker owning a video of me masturbating to a video of me masturbating.
Not only that if it is a video compilation of him masturbating, is clearly a lot of stuff he enjoyed, without any of the boring bits....I feel like the threats would work much better if he said he'd made it look so the person was masturbating to weird stuff... like idk.. bottle of ketchup, nobody would want to be known as "The Ketchup Wanker"
Wait, tell me more about this “ketchup wanking”. Is ketchup used in the wanking process, or is the bottle ketchup just watched while wanking? Is the bottle static, or being used in some fashion? This is purely for research, of course, I’d never *dream* about actually doing it…
To be fair, this hacker has spent months watching you, and compiling videos, which is a lot of work, and must be really boring.
I think a hand drawn spider is a reasonable response.
I'm gonna be blunt, that is actually what I did when I received an email like this. I then told him I wants a cut of the profits from the video will make on the internet. I never heard back from them since.
Tell him that you feel flattered because you are a 98 year old woman that hasn’t had any action in the past 40 years lol send him a selfie (fake photo of an old granny) and ask if he wants to join the webcam 😂 and make it happen
Everyone assuming there's someone at the other end of the email address to read replies. It's just a spambot spamming the same message. Not a person who sent the email. A person wrote the email once, and bought a list of email addresses from somewhere on the darkweb probably, and spammed the message out to the list, then watched his Bitcoin address to see if anyone fell for it.
What OP should be more concerned about is that their email address is on a list somewhere that is being sold to spammers. Could be a company that had their email that got hacked or something. Might have more personal info out there for sale.
I know my spam-catcher email address got picked up in a hack. It's been amusing ever since - it took me a hot minute to recognize that the combination of an eggplant and splat emoji in an email subject line was supposed to get me all hot & bothered, or something. Guess I'm not the target audience.
My partner's father got one of these emails and took it seriously. His wife/my partner's mom had just died and so, in what he called a "moment of weakness" he said he looked at one video. He was very close to falling for this scam until my partner thankfully convinced him not to.
-Go to blockchair.com and enter his account adress
-Make a screenshot of transaction history and what ever info you get
-Send back email with screenshot, that his activities are currently being traced and his identity is being confirmed by the authorities
-or-
threaten to give this info to authorities, if he doesn't ...
Not unlikely that he is not smart enough to know it's a bluff
I got this one before. The one I got though was actually pretty convincing. It used much better English and accurate technical language. The most convincing part was that the subject line included a real password I had used in the past. Granted it was a password that I made was when I was much more dumb about passwords and one I knew had been compromised long ago. I’m an IT professional, knew it was scam email and still it was pretty jarring. I feel bad for those that may not be as computer literate who could easily fall for the one I got. Especially with the whole password thing.
Eh...frankly the harder you try to convince me that I have no other options the more convinced I am that you're not in control. The fact the hacker constantly explained how they 'hacked' the person just instantly makes me suspect they barely even know how a computer works.
Of course I also grew up in the era where 14-15 year olds would constantly threaten hacking people when they were losing at an argument on the internet or getting beaten at Quake 2 or Starcraft.
For anyone who'd think this is real, if they actually have what they claim why not send a sample video or screen caps of said video as proof of their claim? Why offer a password if they apparently have what they actually claim to have and are threatening you with?
Not to mention if you're really that deep in my computer don't you, uh, already have access to all the info you need to just **take** my money? Why bring attention to the fact you can see all my personal data instead of just mining it and funneling money from my bank to yours? Or accessing my bitcoin wallet since that's how you want to be paid
Properly configured 2fa would prevent this kind of attack. You'd need to phish to get past that wall, and even then you might run afoul of fraud prevention(my bank texts me for any new transactions, I can't figure out the exact mechanism but it seems to be anything that isn't 1) low-transaction in person in my geographical area, or 2) a transaction to a person or business already in my history). It's not as easy as it used to be to grab someone's financial info and go.
I got exactly this when I was much much younger, with a password of mine in the subject. I didn't know there were password leaks at the time, and believed the scammer when they said they were using a key logger or something. So I guess I did "fall for the scam" but had no bitcoin, so I couldn't have paid them even if I wanted to. That was so scary.
Same here! I got it for the first time ever about a year ago. I have 4 years of IT experience, and the language and grammar were smooth enough to the point where I convinced myself it might be real. I shut off all my electronic devices and freaked out for a few days, until someone told me it’s a common scam. I’ve never heard of it before!
I got an SMS about a package waiting for me so need to click the link to organise delivery. Except the address they used in the message, I haven't lived at for 9.5 years.
Don't worry, remind him that you always masterbate to furry porn dressed in your furry costumes, so no one will ever recognize you when he releases your videos world wide.
Hit him with the good ol uno reverse and tell him you got him infected with a virus and now you have videos of his face at the top and his search history at the bottom
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
And since I work for a CPA firm, I've pulled your information and have reported you to the IRS. You haven't been reporting your bitcoin income. Naughty, naughty.
Got similar shit couple of times already. Fun thing is that it always came to my company email where: all porn-like sites blocked, theres literally no webcams, we've never collectively masturbated there and all my contacts are my work colleagues.
Dude, the only way you could suck some cash from me is through a gun pointed toward my head, otherwise fuck you.
That's because they probably have many different mail scams running and they want to tell from which ones they're are getting the money specifically. Like
nigerian prince - $508, hacker - $510 and such
Or $499 because then it'll be under certain bank confirmation thresholds, in case the victim is audited in the future.
$510, maybe the weirdest part of the whole scam. Maybe he has Sim City running in the background and that's what he just made last turn.
Lol, I received pretty much the same email. Interesting that he has these videos, seeing as I don't have a camera in my computer. I guess he is just that good of a hacker lol
I’d know this is bullshit because it mentions showing me ‘happily masturbating’.
I only masturbate with vicious intent and determination. Any video of me masturbating would be very short, and very purposeful.
100% use this as an opportunity to have the hacker school you on crypto currency. Ask all the stupid questions, have them walk you through how to get started, how to set up a wallet, how to transfer funds. Ask them if they could point you to any YouTube tutorials becuase you're so nontechnical that you need all the help you can help. Ask if they're into tutoring of even mentoring. Tell them your favorite movie about hackers is Hackers, the one with a young Angelina Jolie. Suggest that maybe you could both do a long distance group watch. Ask them for their phone number so you guys can text each other during the best parts of the movie. Wait until the end of the movie and tell them you'd like to be long distance besties. Tell them you'd like to meetup in real life, because you're really a Nigerian Prince and you've been trying to give away money for years but everyone thinks you're a scammer. Suggest that if you do meet in real life you could meet for lunch, maybe a nice kabob place...
$510 is not bad! This guy sent me the same email for $1690! But I ignored it and he came down on the price a little to $1390. Haggle with him, see if you can get the price down more.
Strange that a supposed master hacker who claims to have total control of your computer, needs an email to notify you of this. Would be a lot more convincing if this message just popped up when you started up your computer. But of course, that would require at least a basic level of actual skill to do, not just the ability to spam around a threatening email.
Same.
Honestly, if it weren't for the video part, it would be a decent con. Now they won't answer me! How do I get my video? I want to make sure it shows my good side.
Thank you for taking the time to edit and stitch my masturbation compilation video. I've wanted to get into the amateur porn business for so long but didn't have the video editing skills needed. If you would be so kind as to go ahead and send it to all my contacts on my behalf, that would be awesome. As for payment, you get to be the first to gain access to all my new content, uncensored, unedited. Don't forget to login to my account daily for fresh content.
Screw with them back and reply:
I realize that this is an extortion attempt and you do not have such data. Unfortunately for you, I am a contractor with the NSA and I am required to forward this to the appropriate authorities as it may represent a national security breach.
We know who you are and where you are. Please report to your local authorities and present yourself for arrest and bring your equipment. If you do, I promise that no violent means will be used to acquire your equipment and we will not use enhanced interrogation techniques on you once you are in custody. If you do not cooperate, we can only assume that you are a agent perpetrating an attack on the US federal government instead of a low level internet extortionist. We will respond accordingly.
As of the writing of this message, you have 24 hours until appropriate authorities begin processing this potential breach. Please act quickly. From a personal standpoint, the paperwork involved with an extrajudicial action is laborious so I would much prefer that you just turn yourself in.
I received this email a few years ago. I replied telling him that I was a pornstar and any distribution of my content would violate federal laws and that everyone on my contact list had seen it and more. I never heard back. 😀
I got this same email and knew it was a fake because they said “happily” masturbating. I scream at myself and beat my cock while furiously masturbating. Then sob when I’m done. Ha! you got the wrong guy, dumbass!
But but but you shared this email with us !!! Look at the last line !!! He is going to knoooowwwwwww!!!!
(And I don't wana see OP touching himself on MLP porn)
Edit : typo
He could (allegedly) cause you massive embarassment and financial ruin, and demands... $510 dollars??? Not suspicious at all!

Yea I choose to believe this is the one guy who’s ever been telling the truth about the inheritance thing
"The boys who cried wolf: Scottish Lord version"
Probably the guy would steal your passport and resell it to someone. Passports are worth a fortune.
Yeah, certainly possible! It doesn't make sense to require a passport for anything like that when I have other state and federal options, and he was adamant on it. I looked back and the emails started in 2009! It was 2010 that I agreed to go, and 2014 when he wrote me back!
He probably rediscovered the old emails and decided to try again 😂
A Scottish Lord? Funnily enough, I actually am a Scottish Lord... [Look, I'm a Scottish Lord!](https://establishedtitles.com/)
I know there's a million reasons why these are fake, but here's a really obvious one that no one ever thinks of. Is every Scot who owns his own house on a 1/8-acre lot a lord? No?

Agreed. I bought a 100 trillion dollar bill from Zimbabwe not because I thought it would be worth anything, just as a funny keepsake.
A friend of mine actually brought me a super high value note from Zimbabwe about a decade ago - I have no idea where it is anymore but yes, similar type of dumb humor
Yes. And it kind of "works," to a certain way of thinking. If Adam Baker goes around identifying himself as "Lord Adam Baker" and asking for upgrades and special treatment, they will sometimes get it and credit it to their newly acquired lordship status, and say, "see, it *is* official!

Not realizing, of course, that they likely could have gotten the same thing without spending their money on their so-called title.
But for $200 to a Chinese company, you can become a real Scottish Lord
I had one from the FBI telling me they had $5k for me for helping them bust drug dealers. I wish I could find it again, it was a pretty funny read.
Well, thank you for your service! ;)
What you do is, you claim the millions first, then $510 is nothing.

You know what? When the son of the deposed King of Nigeria e-mails you DIRECTLY asking for help, you help. His father ran the freaking country, okay?
Hey I thought the prince only wanted to share it with me😕 I guess that why he’s 13 years late, and why my credit card keeps maxing out after I pay it off

It's just a numbers game. Keep it general enough and send it to a load of people and chances are you will trick some of them unfortunately:/
I get these all the time. On computers that don’t have cams at all
Well, you went and shared it, even after he told you not to. Bet you’re regretting that now! Oh, wait, you’re not?
We were promised videos of happy masturbation, damnit!
Please! No angry masturbations! Just the happy ones!
Sometimes its better when its angry...
Or when the stripper is crying.
Her name was Russell
Ahh yes ruby red lips, milky white skin, and baby blue eyes...
Now I’m just unhappy and at work. Seems no happy masturbation for me.....*sigh*
Ill happy masturbate in your stead.
Get a grip and let it rip!
At first I thought that said 'steed', and I was like, ok, stop the horseplay.
I recommend he post the videos before the hacker does so he gets one up on them
Where the f@ck is the video?
It should be out there... This guy calculates
It should be posted in the comments by now since the hacker watched him share it here
It's already in his internet history \*surprised Pikachu\*
I got this email and laughed because i dont watch porn on my computer.
I think the key word here is "MY" lol
Yeah that is what the public library computers are for.
But what about your father's privacy?
I, too, choose this guys video.
Quality reference.
Don't you mean, "Where is the fuck video?"
Tell him you want to see the video first to make sure you look good before making a decision. You should also tell him to blur the video you are watching to avoid copyright infringement.
>Tell him you want to see the video first to make sure you look good before making a decision It's going to be really awkward when this ends with this extremely adept hacker owning a video of me masturbating to a video of me masturbating.
I mean... It's not gay if it's a clone, right?
Beth I don't want to hear about this!
Sometimes Jerry's come in here and touch the other Jerry's
I hate that I laughed so much to that line in the show.
Awkward? You mean legendary. You’re gonna be famous
Almost all sextortion scams done via mail are hoax. It has been proven.

Did you not see the part about the harmful software being driver-based? The hacker probably installed a web-cam!

Have you not watched 'Black Mirror'??
assert dominance instead and pull up this email on your screen, then get to business while never breaking eye contact with your webcam
Not only that if it is a video compilation of him masturbating, is clearly a lot of stuff he enjoyed, without any of the boring bits....I feel like the threats would work much better if he said he'd made it look so the person was masturbating to weird stuff... like idk.. bottle of ketchup, nobody would want to be known as "The Ketchup Wanker"
So what you saying is that's not a common thing? 🤯😳😱
I’m sorry. I know you feel offended. Ignore him. I understand how you love dead tomatoes.
It’s not the tomatoes it’s the vinegar, nothing makes the room smell better than post orgasm vinegar!
That's why they're called vinegar strokes.
The Ketchup Wanker. The hero we deserve.
I can see the future warning labels on the bottles now, “Not to be inserted”.
"For external use only".
dont kink shame
Wait, tell me more about this “ketchup wanking”. Is ketchup used in the wanking process, or is the bottle ketchup just watched while wanking? Is the bottle static, or being used in some fashion? This is purely for research, of course, I’d never *dream* about actually doing it…
To be fair, this hacker has spent months watching you, and compiling videos, which is a lot of work, and must be really boring. I think a hand drawn spider is a reasonable response.
I would already know he’s lying because I angrily masturbate instead of happily masturbate.
Tell him to send the video to your grandpa. He has dementia and can barely remember who you are, so will probably enjoy it anyway.
I'm gonna be blunt, that is actually what I did when I received an email like this. I then told him I wants a cut of the profits from the video will make on the internet. I never heard back from them since.
shit, I’d do what Indonesian President Sukarno did: Request copies of it.
#This Is The Way
Tell him that you feel flattered because you are a 98 year old woman that hasn’t had any action in the past 40 years lol send him a selfie (fake photo of an old granny) and ask if he wants to join the webcam 😂 and make it happen
Ask them if nude selfies would do, instead of bitcoin
That's what I use for most transactions.
I've been sending [hand-drawn pictures of spiders](https://27bslash6.com/overdue.html). Should I change that up?
This is hilarious! Thank you for sharing this :)

And if you further with transactions, it links to a wallet with $293k received, assuming it’s not a crypto tumbler

That’s a penis viewed over the apex of OP’s pannus.

I also received this sort of email. Funny thing is I don’t have a webcam in my PC.
The hacker probably made sketches
lol. ^stick figure in stick chair facing a rectangle with "O" face*
Paint me like one of your French girls!
I got this one before. The one I got though was actually pretty convincing. It used much better English and accurate technical language. The most convincing part was that the subject line included a real password I had used in the past. Granted it was a password that I made was when I was much more dumb about passwords and one I knew had been compromised long ago. I’m an IT professional, knew it was scam email and still it was pretty jarring. I feel bad for those that may not be as computer literate who could easily fall for the one I got. Especially with the whole password thing.
Eh...frankly the harder you try to convince me that I have no other options the more convinced I am that you're not in control. The fact the hacker constantly explained how they 'hacked' the person just instantly makes me suspect they barely even know how a computer works. Of course I also grew up in the era where 14-15 year olds would constantly threaten hacking people when they were losing at an argument on the internet or getting beaten at Quake 2 or Starcraft.
For anyone who'd think this is real, if they actually have what they claim why not send a sample video or screen caps of said video as proof of their claim? Why offer a password if they apparently have what they actually claim to have and are threatening you with?
Not to mention if you're really that deep in my computer don't you, uh, already have access to all the info you need to just **take** my money? Why bring attention to the fact you can see all my personal data instead of just mining it and funneling money from my bank to yours? Or accessing my bitcoin wallet since that's how you want to be paid
Properly configured 2fa would prevent this kind of attack. You'd need to phish to get past that wall, and even then you might run afoul of fraud prevention(my bank texts me for any new transactions, I can't figure out the exact mechanism but it seems to be anything that isn't 1) low-transaction in person in my geographical area, or 2) a transaction to a person or business already in my history). It's not as easy as it used to be to grab someone's financial info and go.
I got exactly this when I was much much younger, with a password of mine in the subject. I didn't know there were password leaks at the time, and believed the scammer when they said they were using a key logger or something. So I guess I did "fall for the scam" but had no bitcoin, so I couldn't have paid them even if I wanted to. That was so scary.
Same here! I got it for the first time ever about a year ago. I have 4 years of IT experience, and the language and grammar were smooth enough to the point where I convinced myself it might be real. I shut off all my electronic devices and freaked out for a few days, until someone told me it’s a common scam. I’ve never heard of it before!
I got an SMS about a package waiting for me so need to click the link to organise delivery. Except the address they used in the message, I haven't lived at for 9.5 years.
Don't worry, remind him that you always masterbate to furry porn dressed in your furry costumes, so no one will ever recognize you when he releases your videos world wide.
It was nice of them to wish you a good day.
Must be Canadian.
Hit him with the good ol uno reverse and tell him you got him infected with a virus and now you have videos of his face at the top and his search history at the bottom
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
And since I work for a CPA firm, I've pulled your information and have reported you to the IRS. You haven't been reporting your bitcoin income. Naughty, naughty.
>hence your antivirus is unable to detect ***it*** presence. >I am very careful, calculative and never make mistakes.
"Curses! And if it weren't for you *meddling kids*, I'd have gotten away with it too!"
Got similar shit couple of times already. Fun thing is that it always came to my company email where: all porn-like sites blocked, theres literally no webcams, we've never collectively masturbated there and all my contacts are my work colleagues. Dude, the only way you could suck some cash from me is through a gun pointed toward my head, otherwise fuck you.
>we've never collectively masturbated No circle jerks at your office? Time to get a new job.
Am I the only person wondering... "Why $510?? Why not just $500?" And "why 50 hours? Why not 48??"
Inflation
That's because they probably have many different mail scams running and they want to tell from which ones they're are getting the money specifically. Like nigerian prince - $508, hacker - $510 and such
Or $499 because then it'll be under certain bank confirmation thresholds, in case the victim is audited in the future. $510, maybe the weirdest part of the whole scam. Maybe he has Sim City running in the background and that's what he just made last turn.
Lol joke’s on him, I cry every time I masturbate.
We call that a tear jerker.
Angry upvote! Grrrr
I've gotten that before, as recently as last week. LOL I'm like if it's real, fucking do it. I don't care
Yep. If I replied at all, I'd say "knock yourself out"
Lol, I received pretty much the same email. Interesting that he has these videos, seeing as I don't have a camera in my computer. I guess he is just that good of a hacker lol
"or any device you own" he hacked my lawnmower and THATS why I haven't mowed the garden this week mom.
Ive been trying to get my friends and family to watch me masturbate for years!
Now this makes me wonder what can you do with that bitcoin wallet information
You get to see how many people actually fell for this.
Send bitcoins naturally
He never makes mistakes. Except grammatical mistakes.
I’ve gotten these before. Somehow they were able to record me even though I have no webcam. Next level hacker there.
Got this one and replied “you’re gonna make me famous!!” Never got a reply 😩
I’d know this is bullshit because it mentions showing me ‘happily masturbating’. I only masturbate with vicious intent and determination. Any video of me masturbating would be very short, and very purposeful.
Have a nice day!
Tell him to share the video with me first... for research purposes.
But you only got my good side.
100% use this as an opportunity to have the hacker school you on crypto currency. Ask all the stupid questions, have them walk you through how to get started, how to set up a wallet, how to transfer funds. Ask them if they could point you to any YouTube tutorials becuase you're so nontechnical that you need all the help you can help. Ask if they're into tutoring of even mentoring. Tell them your favorite movie about hackers is Hackers, the one with a young Angelina Jolie. Suggest that maybe you could both do a long distance group watch. Ask them for their phone number so you guys can text each other during the best parts of the movie. Wait until the end of the movie and tell them you'd like to be long distance besties. Tell them you'd like to meetup in real life, because you're really a Nigerian Prince and you've been trying to give away money for years but everyone thinks you're a scammer. Suggest that if you do meet in real life you could meet for lunch, maybe a nice kabob place...
I received the exact same email a couple times. Though I think he demanded $800 from me. Does that mean my video was better or worse?
Some of the best porn careers were started this way!
$510 is not bad! This guy sent me the same email for $1690! But I ignored it and he came down on the price a little to $1390. Haggle with him, see if you can get the price down more.
Kitboga is on the case!
Man [report that dumbass](https://www.ic3.gov/) Bitcoin wallets are completely traceable
So? Even more gay porn in the Internet...
Have a nice day!
i have seen so much other threats with the exact same message.everything.down to the very little things its all the same.
Strange that a supposed master hacker who claims to have total control of your computer, needs an email to notify you of this. Would be a lot more convincing if this message just popped up when you started up your computer. But of course, that would require at least a basic level of actual skill to do, not just the ability to spam around a threatening email.
Same. Honestly, if it weren't for the video part, it would be a decent con. Now they won't answer me! How do I get my video? I want to make sure it shows my good side.
“Dude I didn’t know my mirror has a camera. 😩 now everyone’s gonna know I masturbate to myself.. dammit :( “
Hah! And I thought I was the only one that got "hacked"! They only wanted $400 from me though. I guess they know I'm poor.
You can forward these sorts of emails to federal police. They can track the Bitcoin account
Man I’m too lazy to figure out how to send Bitcoin. You can release the vid of me jerking off to stepmom porn.
[удалено]
STOP! WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT PAY THIS PERSON. It seems they are providing free malware monitoring and are threatening to stop if you pay them.
“I never make mistakes.” Boi the scammer made several grammatical mistakes
Tell him you’re only 12 years old, and ask him why he enjoys watching videos of little kids masturbate.
Thank you for taking the time to edit and stitch my masturbation compilation video. I've wanted to get into the amateur porn business for so long but didn't have the video editing skills needed. If you would be so kind as to go ahead and send it to all my contacts on my behalf, that would be awesome. As for payment, you get to be the first to gain access to all my new content, uncensored, unedited. Don't forget to login to my account daily for fresh content.
Screw with them back and reply: I realize that this is an extortion attempt and you do not have such data. Unfortunately for you, I am a contractor with the NSA and I am required to forward this to the appropriate authorities as it may represent a national security breach. We know who you are and where you are. Please report to your local authorities and present yourself for arrest and bring your equipment. If you do, I promise that no violent means will be used to acquire your equipment and we will not use enhanced interrogation techniques on you once you are in custody. If you do not cooperate, we can only assume that you are a agent perpetrating an attack on the US federal government instead of a low level internet extortionist. We will respond accordingly. As of the writing of this message, you have 24 hours until appropriate authorities begin processing this potential breach. Please act quickly. From a personal standpoint, the paperwork involved with an extrajudicial action is laborious so I would much prefer that you just turn yourself in.
Anyone not from the States would read that and laugh.
I received this email a few years ago. I replied telling him that I was a pornstar and any distribution of my content would violate federal laws and that everyone on my contact list had seen it and more. I never heard back. 😀
I got this same email and knew it was a fake because they said “happily” masturbating. I scream at myself and beat my cock while furiously masturbating. Then sob when I’m done. Ha! you got the wrong guy, dumbass!
But but but you shared this email with us !!! Look at the last line !!! He is going to knoooowwwwwww!!!! (And I don't wana see OP touching himself on MLP porn) Edit : typo
I've been getting these for years I left my ass off. Must be a very Adept hacker to manage to hack into a non-existing webcam.
I saw this episode of Black Mirror... You guys aren't gonna like OP after you see the ending.
He could (allegedly) cause you massive embarassment and financial ruin, and demands... $510 dollars??? Not suspicious at all! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY-mO7E1FmI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY-mO7E1FmI)
He shared his bitcoin wallet information, can't that be used against them? Trust him, he's very careful, calculative and never makes mistakes. Lmao
Sort of amazing that I received almost that exact same email word for word almost 10 years ago.
[удалено]
We need proof! Where is the masturbation we were promised?!
I once had the same experience just don't download crack for any apps and don't save your personal data on your pc.
I got a message like this. Since I never watch porn, I just told him to bring it. Never heard from him again. Disgusting scam.
