Hi, how you doing ?

We think there is nothing bad in pleasing yourself from on and off.
Some things are just best kept private, and if your relatives and friends find this out it, this will be something to worry about.
Something any person would be totally troubled by.

This will heavily affect your personal life and wellbeing.
For a certain period of time, we have been monitoring your PC activity by means of a trojan virus that had been installed by yourself and that had infected your PC.
You had been infected after clicking on an advertisement on one of our virus-infected coughographic websites.

A trojan virus gives us access to your PC and any device that is connected to it, whether via wifi or bluetooth.
We have been monitoring your screen and everything you have been doing - through a live feed - and you had no idea of us doing this.
We also have control over your camera and microphone - we can switch them on/off at any time.
We have been privately storing all data and info that we have been considering worthwhile.
This information included the following: contacts, social media, emails, etc.
Also, we’ve got an interesting video depicting you pleasing yourself, and we have added the video you was watching as an split screen footage.
By clicking a button, I can send this blackmail material to all your contacts.
If you want to prevent this from happening transfer the amount of 2500$ to the following bitcoin address.

Bitcoin address: xx_xx_xx_xx_

Though verification is required, you can easily buy bitcoin. Google how to buy bitcoin.

The next moment after receiving money, I will erase all your data.
You have only 5 days to send the money.
Otherwise, I will have to do what I have told you about here in above
Be advised, we never make mistakes

By the way, nothing can be more stupid that reporting this, as it is absolutely unattainable to track this email, as these messages were processed through the external server located in another country.
These accounts have been hacked.
Should you report this or contact anybody about this, your evidence will be immediately sent out. Besides, we will do anything we can to distribute any other harmful information.
We will get notified as soon as this email has been opened, from that moment the clock starts running.
You have 5 days exactly, not a minute longer.
 
A not very convincing one.

Had to laugh the other day when I got one asking for feedback about my shopping experience - from Kohls!

Phonetics rule!
 
Haha - "Please write a review" about something I did not purchase from some scammer at a website that does not exist who does not have the slightest idea on English grammar.

The phone has gone silent, not one scammer call, since I pulled the plug out 2 weeks ago.
Now if Optus would hurry up with 5G broadband in my suburb I could ditch the landline altogether and save on the connection.
 
Had to laugh the other day when I got one asking for feedback about my shopping experience - from Kohls!

Phonetics rule!
Just got another Kohl's spam - turns out Kohl's brand names are trademarks of Kohl's Illinois, Inc.!
 
I have been very successful in no longer receiving calls from India with "this is your internet service provider calling about a problem with your service".

I unplugged the landline 12 months ago and miraculously not a single internet scam call since. ;)
 
Yes the number of spam calls has dramatically fallen since we got rid of our landlines some 2 years ago.
Also dramatically declined the number I get on my email accounts.Only 2 in the last 2 months.A PayPal one and one from mrsdrron at agzrservices.Hmmm.
 
A new one to me - and so believable;) (Link cleared)
