Online users, do not be tricked by the fake email below, from a so-called Romanian scammer who claims he has installed a malicious program on your operating system (OS). The sender of the fake email is attempting to frighten and trick his potential victims into sending him money or Bitcoins by claiming he has a videotape of them in a compromising position. The scammer claims he recorded the video using a malicious program he installed on the recipients' computers, but that is not true. Therefore, recipients of the same email (see below), are asked to delete it and should not be frightened by it because it is a fake.
