Fake CIA Email - Distribution and Storage of Pornographic Electronic Materials Involving Underage Children

Online users who have received the fake CIA email below, which claims the recipients have distributed and store pornographic content of underage children, are asked not to follow the instructions in it. The fake email also claims the recipients need to pay US$10,000 if they want to get off the so-called case the CIA have against them. But, the CIA will never ask civilians to transfer money to a bank or Bitcoin account. And, if the CIA has incriminating information against you, they will not contact you via email, they will send law enforcement to arrest you.

So, do not be fooled by cybercriminals who are using scare tactics to trick you into sending them money.

This was the Bitcoin address they mailed to me with the same letter conent

Mar 18, 2019 by an anonymous user from: Minnetonka, Minnesota, United States

I've received one as well, on an email address which I know was exposed in a corporate data breach.

The scam email is very fluent, but in British English not American (that is, it is not written by someone working at a US Government agency).

For example, it uses the British spelling of pedophilia. Also, the CIA is not a law enforcement agency and does not arrest people; the CIA is also barred by law from operating inside the United States.

FYI
