Approximately few months ago I have gained access to your devices, which you use for internet browsing. After that, I have started tracking your internet activities. _x000D_ Here is the sequence of events:_x000D_ _x000D_ Some time ago I have purchased access to email accounts from hackers (nowadays, it is quite simple to purchase such thing online). Obviously, I have easily managed to log in to your email account._x000D_ _x000D_ One week later, I have already installed Trojan virus to Operating Systems of all the devices that you use to access your email._x000D_ In fact, it was not really hard at all (since you were following the links from your inbox emails).

Scam claiming to have indecent video material of myself and asks for USD 1500 in bitcoin to not publish it. Scammer is obviously a script kiddie as some of the methods explained in the email are technically impossible.

Here is my bitcoin wallet: 13bfewpQFPW5XxuY4SZGrpieNvpkEGPTY6 You have less than 48 hours from the moment you opened this email (precisely 2 days). _x000D_ Things you need to avoid from doing:_x000D_ 1. Do not reply me (I have created this email inside your inbox and generated the return address)._x000D_ 2. Do not try to contact police and other security services. In addition, forget about telling this to you friends. If I discover that (as you can see, it is really not so hard, considering that I control all your systems) – your video will be shared to public right away,and all yours wallets well be destroyed. _x000D_ 3. Don’t try to find me – it is absolutely pointless. All the cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous. _x000D_ 4. Don’t try to reinstall the OS on your devices or throw them away. It is pointless as well, since all the videos have already been saved at remote servers. Things you don’t need to worry about: _x000D_ *That I won’t be able to receive your funds transfer. _x000D_ *Don’t worry, I will see it right away, once you complete the transfer, since I continuously track all your activities (my trojan virus has got a remote-control feature, something like TeamViewer). _x000D_ *That I will share your videos anyway after you complete the funds transfer. _x000D_ *Trust me, I have no point to continue creating troubles in your life. If I really wanted that, I would do it long time ago! Everything will be done in a fair manner! _x000D_ One more thing… Don’t get caught in similar kind of situations anymore in future! _x000D_ My advice – keep changing all your passwords on a frequent basis
