Bitcoin Sextortion Email Scams Used to Trick Potential Victims

The following Bitcoin wallet is being used by scammers: 1BYb79BbSzKZ3tgUekCbxW9ee8dAMLaEtW

Received this scam:

"Hello info!

Have you recently noticed that I have e-mailed you from your account?

Yes, this simply means that I have total access to your device.

For the last couple of months, I have been watching you.

Still wondering how is that possible? Well, you have been infected with malware originating from

an adult website that you visited. You may not be familiar with this, but I will try explaining

it to you.

With help of the Trojan Virus, I have complete access to a PC or any other device.

This simply means I can see you at any time I wish to on your screen by simply turning on your

camera and microphone, without you even noticing it. In addition, I have also got access to your

contacts list and all your correspondence.

You may be asking yourself, "But my PC has an active antivirus, how is this even possible? Why

didn't I receive any notification?" Well, the answer is simple: my malware uses drivers, where I

update the signatures every four hours, making it undetectable, and hence keeping your antivirus

silent.

I have a video of you w*****g on the left screen, and on the right screen - the video you were

watching while m**********g.

Wondering how bad could this get? With just a single click of my mouse, this video can be sent

to all your social networks, and e-mail contacts.

I can also share access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.

All you have to do to prevent this from happening is - transfer bitcoins worth $290 (USD) to my

Bitcoin address (if you have no idea how to do this, you can open your browser and simply

search: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 

bc1qj4j309csk0nty2fqhl6wactqylfu0p6cnf2dfl

After receiving a confirmation of your payment, I will delete the video right away, and that's

it, you will never hear from me again.

You have 2 days (48 hours) to complete this transaction.

Once you open this e-mail, I will receive a notification, and my timer will start ticking.

Any attempt to file a complaint will not result in anything, since this e-mail cannot be traced

back, same as my bitcoin id.

I have been working on this for a very long time by now; I do not give any chance for a mistake.

If, by any chance I find out that you have shared this message with anybody else, I will

broadcast your video as mentioned above."

Another scam:

"I bring bad news to you.

Quite a long time ago I got access to your device through which you visit the Internet and all this time I have been watching you. It is all the fault of the adult sites you visited.

In general, the adult sites you visit have become the key to my infiltration of your data.

I have uploaded a malware program to you that updates its signatures every few hours so that anti-virus programs cannot recognize it.

It gives me access to your camera and microphone. In addition, I have all copies of data, including photos, social networks, correspondence and contacts.

Recently I had a great idea: to make a video where in one part of the screen you satisfy yourself, and in the other a video that was playing at that moment. It turned out very interesting!

Rest assured that I can send this video to all your contacts in just a couple of mouse clicks. I think you would like to prevent such a development of events.

So here is my suggestion. You transfer an amount equivalent to $1,600 USD to my bitcoin wallet and we forget about each other, and i will delete all data and videos forever.

Believe me, this is a very modest sum for my work.

You can easily find how to buy bitcoin using search engines like Google or Bing

My bitcoin wallet (BTC-wallet): 1CYj5VELcyQhFMyNSLzqPoU3U3A3rTARn7

You have 48 hours to pay (I have a unique pixel in the message, and right now I know that you have read this message).

If I do not receive payment, I will send a video to your contacts on social networks and messengers

It is a waist of time replying this massage, because you will not get a response. This is a one time mail

A quick awareness of where I will start from. I have all email addresses of your colleagues to tell some cool stories about your filthy tracks with pictures if you do otherwise.

If I find that you have somehow shared this message, the video will be distributed immediately.

I wish you good luck.

Regards,

Anonymous"

Let's get right to point. You may not know me and you are most likely wondering why you're getting this e mail?

I set up a malware on the 18 streaming (pornographic material) web site and guess what, you visited this site to experience fun

(you know what I mean).

While you were watching videos, your web browser began operating as a Remote control Desktop having a key logger which provided me

with accessibility to your screen and webcam. immediately after that, my software obtained your entire contacts from your Messenger, social networks, and email.

Next I created a double video. 1st part shows the video you were viewing and 2nd part shows the view of your web camera, and it's

you.

Neglect this email message, I most certainly will send out your very own recorded material to each of your personal contacts and

imagine about the disgrace you can get.

2nd option should be to give me $1486 to bitcoin address below.

1E6qZkzbGZHh9hWF4dQcTUdbmsYkvBYPrR"

Here is another scam.

"I am well aware [old password removed] is one of your passwords. Lets get straight to purpose. Neither anyone has paid me to investigate you. You don't know me and you are most likely thinking why you are getting this e-mail?

actually, i placed a software on the x*x videos (s*x sites) site and you know what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what i mean). While you were viewing video clips, your internet browser started operating as a Remote control Desktop with a key logger which provided me accessibility to your display and web camera. Just after that, my software program collected all of your contacts from your Messenger, FB, and emailaccount. Next i created a video. 1st part displays the video you were viewing (you have a nice taste haha), and second part shows the recording of your web cam, yea its u.

You actually have only 2 alternatives. Let us understand each of these solutions in particulars:

1st choice is to ignore this email message. as a result, i most certainly will send out your video to all your your personal contacts and thus imagine about the humiliation you feel. Not to mention should you be in a committed relationship, precisely how it can affect?

in the second place option would be to pay me USD 2000. I will refer to it as a donation. Then, i will right away delete your video recording. You will keep going your daily life like this never took place and you will not ever hear back again from me.

You'll make the payment through Bi‌tco‌in (if you do not know this, search for 'how to buy b‌itcoi‌n' in Google).

B‌T‌C‌ ad‌dre‌ss: 1DrApz3Noacj84z2maUZgKPWAHtCr6MenZ

[case-SeNSiTiVe copy & paste it]

Should you are thinking of going to the cops, good, this email message can not be traced back to me. I have covered my steps. i am not attempting to demand a lot, i just like to be paid for. within this%} emaitCr6MenZ if i don't get the ‌bi‌tco‌in‌, i will, no doubt send your video to all of your contacts including family members, colleagues, and many others. Having said that, if i receive the payment, i'll erase the recording immediately. If you want to have evidence, reply with Yeah! & i definitely will send out your video to your 8 contacts. This is a non-negotiable offer and thus please do not waste my personal time and yours by responding to this email."

Another scam.

I just got 3 of these in the past few days. Some of the wording was different and all the bitcoin addresses were different

There is the email I got, and they keep sending the same email again and again on daily basic for few weeks. Yes, they were using different email address for keeping out of my block list. The threat they said I do not really care cuz I know I wasn't doing anything at all. They really should say they recorded something more realistic. However, I am wondering how they actually get part of my info. tho. Be careful if you got similar email.

***below it's the orignal email***

Hey, I know your password is: XXXXX ( be aware they do provide a old password I used to use)

Your computer was infected with my malware, RAT (Remote Administration Tool), your browser wasn't updated / patched, in such case it's enough to just visit some website where my iframe is placed to get automatically infected, if you want to find out more - Google: "Drive-by exploit".

My malware gave me full access and control over your computer, meaning, I got access to all your accounts (see password above) and I can see everything on your screen, turn on your camera or microphone and you won't even notice about it.

I collected all your private data and I RECORDED YOU (through your webcam) SATISFYING YOURSELF!

After that I removed my malware to not leave any traces.

I can send the video to all your contacts, post it on social network, publish it on the whole web, including the darknet, where the sick people are, I can publish all I found on your computer everywhere!

Only you can prevent me from doing this and only I can help you out in this situation.

Transfer exactly 1400$ with the current bitcoin (BTC) price to my bitcoin address.

It's a very good offer, compared to all that horrible sh**t that will happen if I publish everything.

You can easily buy bitcoin here: www.paxful.com, www.coingate.com, www.coinbase.com, or check for bitcoin ATM near you, or Google for other exchanger.

You can send the bitcoin directly to my address, or create your own wallet first here: www.login.blockchain.com/en/#/signup/, then receive and send to mine.

My bitcoin address is: 1KDnUbAHkxb57RYjJufdmjYF9F4vFWjm5m

Copy and paste my address, it's (cAsE-sEnSEtiVE)

I give you 2 days time to transfer the bitcoin.

As I got access to this email account, I will know if this email has already been read.

If you get this email multiple times, it's to make sure that you read it, my mailer script is configured like this and after payment you can ignore it.

After receiving the payment, I will remove everything and you can life your live in peace like before.

Next time update your browser before browsing the web.

A variant to the paedophile email, guess they gave up on the other one:

Received this scam:

"Hello!

I am a hacker who has access to your operating system.

I also have full access to your account.

I've been watching you for a few months now.

The fact is that you were infected with malware through an adult site that you visited.

Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device.

This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it.

I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence.

Why your antivirus did not detect malware?

Answer: My malware uses the driver, I update its signatures every 4 hours so that your antivirus is silent.

I made a video showing how you satisfy yourself in the left half of the screen, and in the right half you see the video that you watched.

With one click of the mouse, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on social networks.

I can also post access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.

If you want to prevent this,

transfer the amount of $500 to my bitcoin address (if you do not know how to do this, write to Google: "Buy Bitcoin").

My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 3HknhyqNaCx9g7J4kXK6TC2kCVJgSKwbu6

After receiving the payment, I will delete the video and you will never hear me again.

I give you 50 hours (more than 2 days) to pay.

I have a notice reading this letter, and the timer will work when you see this letter.

Filing a complaint somewhere does not make sense because this email cannot be tracked like my bitcoin address.

I do not make any mistakes.

If I find that you have shared this message with someone else, the video will be immediately distributed.
