Scams like these

I know it is just another spam email scam, but this one tickled my funny bone, if only because I was ratting on the Germans, not to mention the usual over pompous language of non-english speakers.
Now OCBC Wing Hang Bank does exist, and their website does warn about SMS and emails, but they don't usually come from the gmail address this one came from.


Hello,

The scam I got today was on the paypal account I use for my side hustle.

The scammer had sent a request to paypal for a US$500 payment.

Very quickly got rejected! :mad:
 
Hello there!

Unfortunately, there are some bad news for you.
Around several months ago I have obtained access to your devices that you were using to browse internet.
Subsequently, I have proceeded with tracking down internet activities of yours.

Below, is the sequence of past events:
In the past, I have bought access from hackers to numerous email accounts (today, that is a very straightforward task that can be done online).
Clearly, I have effortlessly logged in to email account of yours (deleted).

A week after that, I have managed to install Trojan virus to Operating Systems of all your devices that are used for email access.
Actually, that was quite simple (because you were clicking the links in inbox emails).
All smart things are quite straightforward. -_-

The software of mine allows me to access to all controllers in your devices, such as video camera, microphone and keyboard.
I have managed to download all your personal data, as well as web browsing history and photos to my servers.
I can access all messengers of yours, as well as emails, social networks, contacts list and even chat history.
My virus unceasingly refreshes its signatures (since it is driver-based), and hereby stays invisible for your antivirus.

So, by now you should already understand the reason why I remained unnoticed until this very moment...

While collecting your information, I have found out that you are also a huge fan of websites for adults.
You truly enjoy checking out cough websites and watching dirty videos, while having a lot of kinky fun.
I have recorded several kinky scenes of yours and montaged some videos, where you reach coughs while passionately masturbating.

If you still doubt my serious intentions, it only takes couple mouse clicks to share your videos with your friends, relatives and even colleagues.
It is also not a problem for me to allow those vids for access of public as well.
I truly believe, you would not want this to occur, understanding how special are the videos you love watching, (you are clearly aware of that) all that stuff can result in a real disaster for you.

Let's resolve it like this:
All you need is $1450 USD transfer to my account (bitcoin equivalent based on exchange rate during your transfer), and after the transaction is successful, I will proceed to delete all that kinky stuff without delay.
Afterwards, we can pretend that we have never met before. In addition, I assure you that all the harmful software will be deleted from all your devices. Be sure, I keep my promises.

That is quite a fair deal with a low price, bearing in mind that I have spent a lot of effort to go through your profile and traffic for a long period.
If you are unaware how to buy and send bitcoins - it can be easily fixed by searching all related information online.

You are given not more than 48 hours after you have opened this email (2 days to be precise).

Below is the list of actions that you should not attempt doing:
> Do not attempt to reply my email (the email in your inbox was created by me together with return address).
> Do not attempt to call police or any other security services. Moreover, don't even think to share this with friends of yours. Once I find that out (make no doubt about it, I can do that effortlessly, bearing in mind that I have full control over all your systems) - the video of yours will become available to public immediately.
> Do not attempt to search for me - there is completely no point in that. All cryptocurrency transactions remain anonymous at all times.
> Do not attempt reinstalling the OS on devices of yours or get rid of them. It is meaningless too, because all your videos are already available at remote servers.

Below is the list of things you don't need to be concerned about:
> That I will not receive the money you transferred.
- Don't you worry, I can still track it, after the transaction is successfully completed, because I still monitor all your activities (trojan virus of mine includes a remote-control option, just like TeamViewer).
> That I still will make your videos available to public after your money transfer is complete.
- Believe me, it is meaningless for me to keep on making your life complicated. If I indeed wanted to make it happen, it would happen long time ago!

Everything will be carried out based on fairness!

Before I forget...moving forward try not to get involved in this kind of situations anymore!
An advice from me - regularly change all the passwords to your accounts.

So where’s the video? 😁
 
got several of these video ransom emails maybe 4 or 5 years back.

Mind you, I still turn the webcam away when not in use :cool:

I love these attempted blackmails. Have received them for over a decade on an email that i used for many things. They are very clever, in three ways.

First is that they usually appear as an email that was sent from your own email account, That bluffs recipients into believing that their actual email/computer has been hacked. But these days anyone can change the "sender" to mirror the recipients email - without ever having hacked your email. An easy way to confirm this is to look into your "sent' emails. the message will not be there.

The second is that they prey upon personal issues, vulnerabilities. Such things like they have downloaded all your personal photos. Many also use the line that they have you recorded enjoying cough :)

And the third is that they demand payment in bitcoin?? Not sure you, but I would not have the foggiest in how to make a bitcoin payment?

If you get one of these emails, rest assured that all that has happened is that your email address has been validated as current, and that you are amongst the ten billion they are sending these to, in the hope that a small percentage actually engages. You have not been hacked.
