Lab Bot Email Hack Scam - Fake Extortion
Lab Bot Email Hack Scam - Fake Extortion

The "Lab Bot Email", "Lab Bot Hackers", or "Lab Bot Hack" message below is a fake extortion or Bitcoin scam being sent by cybercriminals or scammers, therefore, recipients are asked NOT to follow the instructions in it. The scam is being used by cybercriminals or scammers to frighten and trick their potential victims into sending them money via Bitcoin. But, do not send the liars, thieves, tricksters or so-called data storage hackers your money because they have not downloaded all your cloud storage or hacked your computers or online accounts

Over the past 2 years, we have seen hundreds of similar extortion Bitcoin scams used by scammers to trick their potential victims into sending them money by claiming they have hacked their computers or online accounts. These scammers know that their potential victims are not tech-savvy and will quickly believe what they have been sent. Therefore, do not be fooled by these scammers or cybercriminals who are collecting thousands of dollars and are probably laughing at their victims, who they think are stupid into believing them.

The "Lab Bot Email Hack" Scam

Lab Bot Email, Lab Bot Hackers, Lab Bot Hack

Please do not ignore this message, as it refers to your account [email address] and cloud storage. We are a group of data storage hackers. If you receive this message, we've already hack you. We are software developers (Login And Backup or often called LAB Bet).

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) Q: What Is the LAB Bat, A: LAB is an automated application made by Bot using a special API request, the API can download all the data or files that are related to your cloud storage and send it to our server automatically via hacked email access.

Q: Definitely, you'll think this is impossible! A: Smartphones, Apple, Windows, etc. All have cloud storage data. Like Google with Gdrive, Microsoft with OneDrive, Apple with Cloud, and all cloud storage directly connected to an email account.

D: Why should you care about LAB Bot? A: Lab Bot is automatically configured and has a five day grace period. On the fifth day, Lab Bot will accomplish its final task. I.e., share backup data downloaded to the darknet forum publicly or to e-mail correspondence, contacts, social network, co-worker. (You certainly didn't want everyone to see or know your private files (documents, nude photos, hot videos, or others).

Precisely what should you do? To prevent all of this thing from happening, you need to send Bitcoin with the amount of 0.22034 Bitcoin - to my bitcoin wallet address. (if you didn't know this, search 'how to buy bitcoin. on Google.)

BTC address:

Scan the QR code with your phone to get the address.

So, to stop the LAB Bot process, it's only in one way; 'make payments through Bitcoin in the amount of 0,22034 Bitcoin'. You have five days to make a payment, and the time will start when this message opened; LAB Bot will know if you've already read the letter because it uses e-mail trackers.

I got the amazon one yesterday but only noticed it this morning. I actually only opened it because I am waiting on a package from amazon and have also recently got a new credit card so thought that there was a genuine problem as the order was made with the old card. Also noticed that there is a message supposedly sent from me to me in my spam folder but didn’t open it. Like others I have got spam emails before but this one felt a lot more sinister . Going to change passwords anyway but glad to have found this place and that it is just a hoax. I also tried forwarding the email to amazon but their spam filter blocked it

It's not amazon, the email is being spoofed. The original sender is "tryhall.net" which was registered on the 15th of Dec 2019. The registrar is Google and I have reported this activity.

I got this e mail this morning and although I knew it was probably fake it really made me feel quite sick in the stomach. That slight doubt 'Of what if it is true' and the horrible feeling that you are being watched. It's disgusting and I feel for those more vulnerable types that may fall prey of these vile people. So I'm very glad that I found this site, it has made me feel much reassured. Thanks.

Antivirus software cannot stop this type of scam. Flag the email as spam so they are automatically sent to your spam folder.

I just received this same email this morning. I’m so relieved to hear it’s a scam. I’ve still gone ahead and updated all passwords and gotten some extra protection on my accounts. Seems my Microsoft account is always the one having issues like this.
