I uploаdеd the maliciоus рrogrаm оn yоur systеm.


Since thаt mоmеnt I рilfеred аll рrivy bаckground from your systеm. Аdditionally I havе sоmе more cоmprоmising еvidеnce. The most intеrеsting еvidencе thаt I stole- its а videоtаpе with your masturbаtiоn. I аdjusted virus оn а рorn wеb site and after yоu lоаdеd it. Whеn you decided with the video аnd tapреd on a рlay buttоn, my delеterious sоft at оnce sеt uр оn your systеm. After аdjusting, your cаmerа shoоt thе vidеotapе with you sеlf-abusing, in аdditiоn it saved рrecisеly thе роrn vidео yоu mаsturbatеd on. In next fеw dаys my mаlwаre collесted all your soсial and wоrk contаcts.

If you desire to destroy the records- pay me 200 united state dollar in BTC(cryptocurrency).

You have 12 hours after reading. If I see transaction I will erase the videotape permanently. Differently I will forward the tape to all your friends.

I wonder how many people fall for that

They can spell "deleterious", yet get simple words spelt wrong added to the poor grammar.

Denali, I have to say that is an odd thing for a bunch of office ladies to go looking for. Why?

A group was going to see the 50 Shades movie as a group, which turned to ex's and kinks which turned to "my sisters ex has cough online!", which meant we delved into free cough and found it. Not too much shocks me so this didnt, people have their adult kinks, good luck to them.

 

[Bindibuys]

Received same email at work today.......

 

[prozac]

Hahahahaaa. As a bloke, I can't imagine why anyone would want to upload something like that. Film it maybe but upload it???

 

[OATEK]

This is the second email of this type I have received! Both threats were sent to my work address, and those PCs don't have a camera!

Hi,


My name is Perry Rice; I am an American soldier 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, deployed to Afghanistan.My reason for contacting you is


that I managed to move funds belonging to some Afghanistan heads that ran away after we rescued the hostages.These hostages were released by us as they were victims of


intimidation and violence and incarcerated under the blasphemy laws while awaiting sentence and there are forced sex acts and killings by the Afghanistan terrorist ,as I discovered. In their hideout, I found an underground with currencies. I know that reading this, you may condemn my deeds but sincerely, I have served in US Army


in good faith,stealing nothing from my division neither have I be involved in any illegal act.


I only manage to move the total amount of US$34 Million dollars in cash,mostly 100 dollar bills. However, I want to move this money US$34 Million to you (mostly 100


dollar bills), so that you may invest it for me and keep my share for banking. I know you will be asking how did I got your email, it is through my effort to search


for a reputable person which my heart is directing me to trust you since here is a war zone and no much time. I want you to understand that I have seen money in


Afghanistan even US contractors have wasted lots of hard-earned money over here.


The US$34 Million belong to me, I will take 60%. You will take 40%. No strings attached, just help me move it out of Afghanistan, here is a war zone. I plan on using


diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in two large silver boxes, using diplomatic immunity. The Boxes are deposited with the firm for easy delivery so I will only present your details for delivery to you.


If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that I can trust and that will assist me. Can I trust you? When you receive


this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest and more information will be send to you.


Contact This Email: ( xx_@xx_.xx_)


This business is risk free. The box will be shipped out in 72hrs.


With Respect and Salutation,

SFC Perry Rice

Most scams do indeed defy logic. But then look at the politicians we vote in.

A few months ago, I had a throat operation and haven't yet got my voice back. A few days ago, I logged in to iinet where they verify you by asking you to repeat a quote. I was very surprised to be verified as I don't have a voice, just a bit of a croak.

I asked them about the voice recognition last time I phoned because I went through that ridiculous rigmorole only to be asked to identify myself when I spoke to a human. The response was an offhand "oh that system hasn't worked for months"!

Oxytocin is an amazing free chemical.

From the article:

People are good at sharing intel like this online to save others from getting caught

Yes, that's what we are doing here

My pick of the week (looks like I have a new love interest in France)....

I do not know how to start our communication right? I understand that you may have some important things to do.

I just want to be happy, and that my heart be not so lonely as it is now. I try to find somebody who will save me from loneliness.

Serious, responsible, who knows exactly what he wants. That's why I'm writing you.

I really hope that we can have communication with you and maybe something more serious in the future. I'm not kidding.

I'm a real girl who wants to find her destiny. And I understand that for this we need to get to know each other better.

I hope that soon I will see your letter, and we can begin our communication.
