They’re evolving.
This is a completely new variant in terms of text. Though they claim to know my password, without providing anything within the body of the email proving such, I already know what password they would’ve shown had they actually done that.
And it also still bears the same hallmarks of the other scam emails: claiming to have put some kind of backdoor on my computer, claiming to have recorded me masturbating at my desk (despite the fact I don’t do that and also don’t have a webcam), etc…
Though I find it ironic that they point you to blockchain.com to create a Bitcoin wallet. Ironic in that I also link there for all wallets I see in these emails. Though what’s heartbreaking is seeing the balance of those wallets as not zero when I first look at them. And such was the case with the wallet linked below.
Hello
I know your password!
I infected you with a malware (RAT)/(Remote Administration Tool), some time ago and since then, I have been observing your actions. The malware gave me full access and control over your system, meaning, I can see everything on your screen, turn on your camera or microphone and you won’t even notice about it, yes such things exist, you can Google it!
I have also access to all your contacts, I collected everything private from you, pictures, videos, everything!
And I MADE A VIDEO SHOWING BOTH YOU (through your webcam) AND THE VIDEO YOU WERE WATCHING (on the screen) WHILE SATISFYING YOURSELF!
I can send this video to all your contacts (email, social network) and publish all your private stuff everywhere!
You can prevent me from doing this!
To stop me, transfer exactly: 400$ with the current bitcoin (BTC) price to my bitcoin address.
If you don’t know how to get bitcoin, Google – “How to buy Bitcoin”, it’s very simple for example with credit card. The wallet you can create here: https://www.blockchain.com
My bitcoin address is: 13zk33SCAt5KGrMSR1ktL4Tkow4sVck4Qg
Copy and paste my address – it’s (CASE-sensitive).
You know this all isn’t a joke, you got the proof above!
I think it’s a very good price compared to the damage and hell it can bring into your life!
After receiving the payment, I will delete everything from you and you can life your live in peace like before. I give you 3 days to get the bitcoins!
Don’t share this email with anyone, this should stay our little secret!
