ADMIN:

You may have arrived at this post because you received an email with an attached PDF from a purported hacker who is demanding payment. They threaten to send compromising information—such as pictures sexual in nature—to all your friends and family. You’re searching for what to do in this frightening situation, and how to respond to an apparently personalized threat that even includes your actual personal details such as “Last Name, First Name” and a picture of your house.
We have actually been sent scams telling us we have had a tracker put on our computer and the scammer has been watching us visit sex sites etc and we have to pay to have the information deleted.
Don’t panic. Contrary to the claims in your email, you probably haven’t been hacked (or at least, that’s not what prompted that email). They found your details from a house sales site or similar where you advertised something. This is merely a new variation on an old scam —actually, a whole category of scams called “sextortion” or “blackmail scams.” This is a type of online phishing that is targeting people around the world and preying on digital-age fears. It generally uses publicly available information or information from data breaches, not information obtained from hacking the recipients of the emails specifically, and therefore it is very unlikely the sender has any “incriminating” photos or has actually hacked your accounts or devices.

(the name of the receiver removed),
I know that calling (removed) or visiting (the address of the receiver removed) would be a better way to reach you if you don’t take action. Don’t try to escape from this. You have no idea what I’m capable of in (City).
It’s important you pay attention to this message right now. Take a minute to relax, breathe, and really dig into it. ‘Cause we’re about to discuss a deal between you and me, and I ain’t playing games.
You don’t know me whereas I know EVERYTHING about you and you must be wondering how, right?
Well, you’ve been a bit careless lately, clicking through those girlie videos and venturing into the darker corners of cyberspace. I installed a Malware on a porn website and you visited it to watch (you get my drift). And when you got busy enjoying those videos, your smartphone began functioning as a RDP (Remote Control) which allowed me complete access to your smartphone. I can peep at everything on your display, flick on your cam and mic, and you wouldn’t even suspect a thing. Oh, and I’ve got access to all your emails, contacts, and social media accounts too.
Been keeping tabs on your pathetic life for a while now. It’s just your hard luck that I found your misdemeanor. I put in more days than I probably should have investigating into your personal life.
Extracted quite a bit of juicy info from your system. and I’ve seen it all. Yeah, Yeah, I’ve got footage of you doing embarrassing things in your room (nice setup, by the way). I then developed videos and screenshots where on one side of the screen, there’s the videos you had been playing, and on the other half, its your vacant face. With just a single click, I can send this garbage to all of your contacts.
Your confusion is clear, but don’t expect sympathy. Wholeheartedly, I am ready to wipe the slate clean, and let you continue with your regular life and forget you ever existed. I am about to give you two alternatives.
Option 1 is to turn a deaf ear this e mail. Let us see what will happen if you opt this path. I will send your video to all your contacts. The video is straight fire, and I can’t even fathom the embarrasement you’ll endure when your colleagues, friends, and fam watch it. But hey, that’s life, ain’t it? Don’t be playing the victim here.
Second option is to pay me, and be confidential about it. We’ll call this my “privacy tip”. let me tell you what will happen when you select this option. Your secret will remain your secret. I will wipe everything clean once you send payment. You’ll make the payment through Bitcoins only. I want you to know I’m aiming for a win-win here. I’m a person of integrity.

Amount to be sent: $1950

My BTC Address: 1LBVS1h1KFck2gJ1F9au1ojQP52GGCFYnX
(Bitcoin wallet address)

Let me tell ya, it’s peanuts for your tranquility.
Note: You have one day in order to transfer the amount and I will only accept Bitcoins (I have a specific pixel within this email message, and right now I know that you have read this e-mail).
My system will catch that Bitcoin payment and wipe out all the dirt I got on you. Don’t even think about replying to this or negotiating, it’s pointless. The email and wallet are custom-made for you, untraceable. If I suspect that you’ve shared or discussed this email with someone else, the garbage will instantly start getting sent to your contacts. And don’t even think about turning off your phone or resetting it to factory settings. It’s pointless. I don’t make mistakes, (the name removed).
Beautiful neighborhood btw
