Here is another scam: - Forwarded message - From: Jimbojettison Sent: Wednesday, 17 April 2019, 16:23:03 BST Subject: I know is one of your passphrases. Lets get directly to the point. Neither anyone has paid me to investigate about you. You do not know me and you're probably wondering why you're getting this mail? in fact, i actually setup a software on the 18 streaming (p**n material) website and you know what, you visited this site to experience fun (you know what I mean). When you were watching video clips, your internet browser initiated working as an RDP with a keylogger which gave me access to your screen and also cam. Right after that, my software program gathered all your contacts from your Messenger, FB, and email account. Next, i created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you have a nice taste hahah), and 2nd part shows the view of your web camera, & its u. You will have 2 alternatives. We will read each one of these solutions in details: First alternative is to skip this e mail. in this situation, i will send out your very own recorded material to every bit of your contacts and then visualize about the disgrace that you receive. Not to forget if you are in a committed relationship, just how it will certainly affect? Number two option should be to compensate me $998. Lets name it as a donation. Consequently, i most certainly will immediately eliminate your video footage. You can keep your life like this never took place and you surely will never hear back again from me. You'll make the payment by Bi‌tco‌in (if you do not know this, search 'how to buy b‌itcoi‌n' in Google search engine). in case you are thinking of going to the police, anyway, this email cannot be traced back to me. I have dealt with my moves. i am just not attempting to charge a fee so much, i wish to be paid for. e mail if i don't get the ‌bi‌tco‌in‌, i will send your video recording to all of your contacts including close relatives, colleagues, etc. However, if i do get paid, i will erase the recording immediately. If you need evidence, reply with Yes then i definitely will send your video to your 7 contacts. it is a non-negotiable offer, so do not waste my time & yours by replying to this email.
