"You're my victim" - really hopeless attempt at phishing

[alex_]

I don't have anything to do with that company now, and I don't use that exact password for anything else (and will make an effort not to use that combination of e-mail address / password for anything else in case someone out there is trying it for other things)

Stop using anything even remotely related to that password too.

If it is based upon your birthday, change to a religion which observes a different calendar.

A friend got this - Millwall fans beware:

Let's cut to the chase. I am aware millwall is your password. Most importantly, I know your secret and I have evidence of it. You do not know me personally and nobody hired me to examine you.

It's just your hard luck that I found your bad deeds. Actually, I actually placed a malware on the adult video clips (sex sites) and you visited this site to experience fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your web browser started working as a Rdp (Remote control desktop) that has a keylogger which provided me accessibility to your display and also webcam. After that, my software program obtained all your contacts from your messenger, facebook, and mailbox.

Next, I gave in more hours than I probably should've investigating into your life and created a two view video. First part shows the recording you were watching and 2nd part displays the capture from your webcam (its you doing nasty things).

Frankly, I am willing to forget exactly about you and let you move on with your regular life. And I am going to provide you 2 options that may accomplish this. These two choices either to ignore this letter, or just pay me $3200. Let us investigate above 2 options in more details.

First Option is to ignore this message. Let me tell you what will happen if you take this path. I will, no doubt send your video recording to your contacts including family members, co-workers, and so on. It does not protect you from the humiliation your self will feel when family and friends discover your unpleasant details from me.

Other Option is to make the payment of $3200. We’ll call this my “privacy tip”. Here is what happens if you pick this path. Your secret remains your secret. I will destroy the video immediately. You move on with your lifetime like nothing ever occurred.

At this point you must be thinking, “I'm going to report to the cops”. Without a doubt, I have taken steps to make sure that this message cannot be linked to me plus it won't prevent the evidence from destroying your health. I'm not trying to steal all your savings. I just want to get compensated for efforts and time I place into investigating you. Let's hope you have chosen to create this all go away and pay me the confidentiality fee. You will make the payment by Bitcoins (if you do not know this, type "how to buy bitcoins" in google search)

Required Amount: $3200
Receiving Bitcoin Address: 1Gsgt8XrvoUAvLZ1H68tJbvUe6JuQV7P6h
(It is cASe sensitive, so you should copy and paste it)

Tell nobody what you would be utilising the Bitcoins for or they will often not provide it to you. The process to acquire bitcoin may take a few days so do not wait.
I've a specific pixel in this email message, and right now I know that you've read this email. You have 2 days in order to make the payment. If I do not receive the BitCoins, I will, no doubt send out your video to your entire contacts including relatives, coworkers, etc. You better come up with an excuse for friends and family before they find out. Nevertheless, if I receive the payment, I will destroy the video immediately. It is a non-negotiable one time offer, so do not waste my time & yours. Time is running out.

A useful site:
Have I Been Pwned: Check if your email has been compromised in a data breach

thanks

looks as though linkedin may be the suspect - i did sign up for a free account on there maybe some time round 2011 / 2 when my brief and fairly unspectacular bit of freelancing (ok, it sounds better than being unemployed) was on. they appear to have had a data breach in 2012.

i didn't stay around for long - so don't know what i used as password on there. it's possible i did use the same one as the aforementioned recycling thingy.

i'm not going to get too worried about it - i don't have this password for anything else, and while there is a certain system to most of my passwords (there are one or two that i use for multiple things, although not anything that's particularly secure) I'm not convinced it's one that the average hacker is likely to work out and then try all the possible combinations.

i'm aware that using the same password for everything is not a good idea, nor (like the one above) using the name of your football team.

Birmingham Mail had a piece about this earlier in the week. Maybe will forward to 'action fraud' for what it's worth.

Just got this:

"Ŵhat's up.
If u were more vigilant while caress yourself, I wouldn't worry you. I don't think that playing with yourself is very bad, but when all colleagues, relatives and friends get video record of it- it is definitely for u.

I placed virus on a porn web-site which you have visited. When the object press on a play button, device starts recording the screen and all cameras on your device starts working.

мoreover, my virus makes a remote desktop supplied with key logger function from the device , so I was able to save all contacts from ur e-mail, messengers and other social networks. I'm writing on dis e-mail because It's your corporate address, so you must read it.

ɩ think that 400 usd is pretty enough for this little false. I made a split screen video(records from screen (u have interesting tastes ) and camera ohh... its awful ἌF)

ȿo its ur choice, if u want me to erase ur disgrace use my itсȎin wаllet аƊdress- ..................... (edited out)
ou have one day after opening my message, I put the special tracking pixel in it, so when you will open it I will know.If ya want me to show u the proofs, reply on this letter and I will send my creation to five contacts that I've got from ur contacts.

P.S. You can try to complain to police, but I don't think that they can solve ur problem, the inquisition will last for one year- I'm from Ukraine - so I dgf LOL"

Pathetic
