Hi there!
Unfortunately, I need to start our conversation with bad news for you.
Around few months back I managed to get full access to all devices of
yours,
which are used by you on a daily basis to browse internet.
Afterwards, I could initiate monitoring and tracking of all your
activities on the internet.
I am proud to share the sequence of how it happened:
In the past I bought from hackers the access to various email accounts
(today, that is rather a simple thing to do online).
Clearly, it was not hard at all for me to log in to your email account
([email protected]).
A week after that, I had already managed to effortlessly install
Trojan virus to Operating Systems of all devices that are currently in
your use, and as result gained access to your email.
To be honest, that was not really difficult at all (because you were
eagerly opening the links from your inbox emails).
I know, I am a genius. ^^
With help of that software, I can gain access to all controllers in
your devices (such as video camera, keyboard and microphone).
As result, I downloaded to my remote cloud servers all your personal
data, photos and other information including web browsing history.
Likewise, I have complete access to all your social networks,
messengers, chat history, emails, as well as contacts list.
My intelligent virus unceasingly refreshes its signatures (due to its
driver-based nature), and hereby stays unnoticed by your antivirus
software.
Herbey, I believe that now you finally start realizing how I could
easily remain unnoticed all this while until this very letter…
While collecting information related to you, I had also unveiled that
you are a true fan of porn sites.
You truly enjoy browsing through adult sites and watching horny vids,
while playing your dirty solo games.
Bingo! I also recorded several filthy scenes with you in the main
focus and montaged some dirty videos, which demonstrate your
passionate masturbation and cum sessions.
In case you still don’t believe me, all I need is just one-two mouse
clicks to make all your unmasking videos become available to your
friends, colleagues, and even relatives.
Well, if you still doubt me, I can easily make recorded videos of your
orgasms become a public.
I truly believe that you surely would avoid that from happening,
taking in consideration the type of the XXX videos you love watching,
(you are clearly aware of what I mean) it will result in a huge
disaster for you.
Well, there is still a way to settle this tricky situation in a
peaceful manner:
You will need to transfer $960 USD to my account (refer to Bitcoin
equivalent based on the exchange rate at the moment transfer),
so once funds transfer is complete, I will straight away proceed with
deleting all that dirty content from servers once and for all.
Afterwards, you can consider that we never met before. You have my
honest word, that all the harmful software will also be deactivated
and deleted from all your devices currently in use.
Worry not, I keep my promises.
That is truly a win-win solution that comes at a relatively reduced
cost, mostly knowing how much effort I spent on monitoring your
profile and traffic for a considerably long time.
In event that you have no idea about means of buying and transferring
bitcoins – don’t hesitate to use any search engine for your
assistance (e.g., Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.).
My bitcoin wallet is as follows: 19yaJM8qhsyXnwoQP7zQbMkqJStoMYxPmE
I have allocated 48 hours for you to do that, and the timer started
right after you opened this very email (2 days to be exact).
Don’t even think of doing anything of the following:
*Abstain from attempting to reply me (this email was created by me
inside your inbox page and the return address was generated
accordingly).
*Abstain from attempting to get in touch with police or any other
security services. Moreover, don’t even think of sharing this to you
friends.
Once I discover this (apparently, that is absolutely easy for me,
taking in consideration that I have complete control over all systems
you use) – your kinky video will straight away be made public.
*Don’t even think of attempting to find me – that is completely
useless. Don’t forget that all cryptocurrency transactions remain
completely anonymous.
*Don’t attempt reinstalling the OS on all your devices or getting rid
of them. That won’t lead you to success either, because I have already
saved all videos at my remote servers as a backup.
Things you should not be concerned about:
*That your funds transfer won’t reach my wallet.
– Worry not, I can see everything, hence after you finish the
transfer, I will get a notification right away
(trojan virus of mine uses a remote-control feature, which functions
similarly to TeamViewer).
*That I will still distribute your videos although you make the funds
transfer.
– My word, I have no intention or interest in continuing making your
life troublesome.
Anyway, If I truly wanted that, it would happen long time ago without
me notifying you!
Everything can be settled in a peaceful and just way!
And lastly… make sure you don’t get caught afterwards in such type
of incidents anymore!
My fair advice – ensure you change all your passwords on a regular
basis.
