Scams like these

And another spam email with a "great greetings" 😲🫣🫢
😆😂🤣🤣🤣

---------------------------------------------------------

Hello pervert,

I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisely.

Have you heard of Pegasus?
This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners.
It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, and Windows.
I guess, you already figured out where I'm getting at.

It's been a few months since I installed it on all your devices because you were not quite choosy about what links to click on the internet.
During this period, I've learned about all aspects of your private life, but one is of special significance to me.
I've recorded many videos of you jerking off to highly controversial cough videos.
Given that the "questionable" genre is almost always the same, I can conclude that you have sick perversion.

I doubt you'd want your friends, family and co-workers to know about it. However, I can do it in a few clicks.
Every number in your contact book will suddenly receive these videos - on WhatsApp, on Telegram, on Skype, on email - everywhere.
It is going to be a tsunami that will sweep away everything in its path, and first of all, your former life.
Don't think of yourself as an innocent victim. No one knows where your perversion might lead in the future, so consider this a kind of deserved punishment to stop you.

Better late than never.
I'm some kind of God who sees everything.
However, don't panic. As we know, God is merciful and forgiving, and so do I.
But my mercy is not free.

Transfer $1300 USD to my bitcoin wallet: 1FXXt4n3GnZKGJeK4LkHmZdKxwpgMwS67e

Once I receive confirmation of the transaction, I will permanently delete all videos compromising you,
uninstall Pegasus from all of your devices, and disappear from your life. You can be sure - my benefit is only money.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing to you, but destroy your life without a word in a second.

I'll be notified when you open my email, and from that moment you have exactly 48 hours to send the money.
If cryptocurrencies are unchartered waters for you, don't worry, it's very simple.
Just google "crypto exchange" and then it will be no harder than buying some useless stuff on Amazon.

I strongly warn you against the following:
) Do not reply to this email. I sent it from a temp email so I am untraceable.
) Do not contact the police. I have access to all your devices, and as soon as I find out you ran to the cops, videos will be published.
) Don't try to reset or destroy your devices.

As I mentioned above: I'm monitoring all your activity, so you either agree to my terms or the videos are published.

Also, don't forget that cryptocurrencies are anonymous, so it's impossible to identify me using the provided address.
Good luck, my perverted friend. I hope this is the last time we hear from each other.

And some friendly advice: from now on, don't be so careless about your online security.
 
Good morning,

I have already posted this in the RTW forum and this is the reason.

I would like to let you know that while I did the transaction to Singapore Airlines, the agent sent me a phishing email that has been flagged by Gmail.
She laughed when I told her that her email was a scam and she sent me quickly the genuine one with my itinerary.
Unfortunately, eventhough Gmail has a warning system, it only appeared after the email was clicked on and by that time it was too late.
This was on Sunday and it's only on Tuesday that I discovered that all my emails from work with my payslips and link to work have been all wiped. I work from home and had Monday off so by the time I tried to log in for work on Tuesday, I found out everything has disappeared.
That agent has my debit card details so I don't know to what extent the damage could be done, but this is to let you know that the scam came from SIA own booking team.
So far I checked my account, it's still ok and have accordingly advised my bank.
There have been 3 different times when I had to key in my card details.
I did the first transaction with the booking agent from the beginning. Then she said the system didn't work on her end so she had to connect me to another one to finalise.
The second agent was the one sending me the phishing email. The second transaction took a while to be done but it had to be annuled because my miles hadn't been deducted for the ticket. Then I had to wait a while after putting my payment details again before everything was finalised. I guess now it took all that time for the downloading of my email contents.
All my messages with anything concerning money were wiped.
The first agent was from US Reservations but I don't know where the second one was from or whether she was a genuine one.

I have advised Singaporeair and am waiting for their response.

Booking.com seems to be taking the cake with scams lately. We booked a heap of overseas accommodation for a trip in a few months. About a month after booking we got a message from within the booking.com app that one hotel hadn't been able to process our payment and to please re-enter our card details. Seeing as it wasn't a random text or email I started to enter it but got some error. Then I wrote directly to the hotel to confirm and they said it was a scam and it wasn't them. So how did it work that the internal app messaging system was producing these scam messages? The stories I've heard have all been about emails which are usually easy to track as scams if you just simply mouseover the purported email address to see what it really is.
Currently having a dispute with Booking about something else entirely. It may be the last time I deal with them.
A news report popped up today on the booking.com. scam

Sad that people we trust can do things like this.
Shocking too.
---
Not trying to point the finger, but could you what sort of accent of English was the 2nd agent speaking.
Or even the first, and what phone number did you use?
We know of roughly, 4 or 5 nationalities that would do the winkie.
======
Adelaide woman pays $550 for what she thought would be a wide screen TV, but instead got a bag of cat litter (!), a bag of sugar, 2 hammers, and 2 books...
On news(.)com(.)au.
Very daring of the seller on FB marketplace.
Never bought anything from there, don't know if the seller is traceable, but still.
Funny in a way, sad in another, shocking as well.
Just goes to show, even in Aust between Aussies, things (scams) like this can happen.
---
Looks like the cops have given up investigation too, "pending further information", ... ouch.
She's a goner!

It's definitely Singapore airlines number. It's the usual call center where they use filipinos agents like with Citibank... the second agent has a much better english, very clear and I'm sure she's not filipino but can't really say.

Dear old Elsie in Warrington. With all that money I think she needs some grammar and spelling lessons

( +44?) 7451?278881?

Im Elsie Kemnitz, a 53-year-old European citizen residing in Warrington Road, Glazebury, WA3 5LB Culcheth Warrington UK. Despite participating in a compensation program in Paris France, years ago, I never received payment after spending over ?28,930 British Pounds sterling in the US trying to claim it.

I traveled to Paris France, 153 Av. Jean Lolive, 93500 Pantin, France, with all my compensation documents and met with Valentin Kent, a member of the Compensation Award Committee. He explained that individuals contacting us via email are fraudulent, as the Inheritance/Compensation Law exempts beneficiaries from any fees. Valentin Kent escorted me to the bank to claim my compensation payment. I?m thrilled to announce that I?ve received ?4,950,000.00.

Mr Valentin Kent informed me about beneficiaries yet to receive payments, including you. Please stop dealing with those exploiting you. Contact Mr. Valentin Kent directly for assistance.

Unbelievable, invitation to the Covid-19 💰 money❓🤔
😲🤭🦊👹
😆😂🤣🤣
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friend ,

I got your contact email address on the internet in my search for a reputable, reliable, and trustworthy person who can stand confidently with me.

My name is Mr. D.C Williams, I am in the Office of Auditing and Accounting Management Department of Citi Bank Plc here in USA. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my Bank (Anthony P. of your country) who died on the 24th of March, 2020 due to this recent Corona-virus pandemic.

There was an account opened in my Bank by this late INDUSTRIALIST/CONTRACTOR who died without a written or Oral WILL and Next of Kin information attached to the account, and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, because the account has no other beneficiary or Next of Kin until his death.

Meanwhile, the Banking ethics here does not allow an account to stay dormant more than a year without being operated, hence the money deposited in the said account will be confiscated as unclaimed funds after the long period of dormancy.

So, it is in light of these development that I am compelled to seek your indulgence and active participation in a well thought out scheme for you to act as the Next of Kin and foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased, since it is certain that no one will show up to be the Next of Kin to claim the funds.

The total amount involved is $2.5 million Dollars, but I wish to start the first transfer with half of the total fund. Upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side, then you shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance into your account.

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% risk free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within a few banking days after you apply to my Bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.

The only risk I foresee here is you alerting my Bank or your refusal to work with me.

So, I would like you to treat this transaction with utmost confidentiality between me and you alone. I promise to always have direct communication with you on how this transfer will go successfully, if only you can abide by my instruction.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will give you full details on how the transfers will be executed and I can obtain and manipulate all vital documents necessary for a successful transfer of the fund into your bank account.

I look forward to your quick response. Thanks and trusting to hear from you immediately.Reply here: [email protected]

Best Regards,
Mr. D.C Williams

Watch for deepfake scams tho, there was the guy in HK working for a finance co, who "accidentally" tranferred several HKGm$ into the scammers account.

Paypal has the pay in 4 instalments.
Maybe the above is a play on this, ie, the scam trying to follow the pay in 4 instalments thing.
I had an email from ebay, with pay in 4 as a title.
 
Just got a text message saying that my referral has been reviewed by some doctor, call this number to make an appointment.

While I am waiting for a call about a referral, the number doesn't match any number the expected call could come from, the only medical related text messages I've ever gotten have been for automated appointment reminders (which are also emailed) or 2FA login codes for digital health records and the number the message came from has been listed on reverse call indexs with poor ratings.

I assume this is a scam.

Safe to assume it is a scam.

However, no harm in ringing up the clinic/hospital where the referral was made to make sure?
