Oh look – I found another hacker/scammer floundering in my Spam Bucket

After my recent discovery of a scammer’s blackmailing email in my Spam Bucket, I found an even more recent version of much the same pathetic effort floating in the same place.

I’m actually wondering if it’s one of Donald J Trump’s grifts, and a last desperate attempt to steal, sorry raise funds for his various legal appeals, since he’s been publicly outed for illegally scraping money for this from campaign funds sent by MAGATS. Even if it’s money parted from fools for campaign purposes, it’s STILL ILLEGAL to use it for anything else. Not that something being illegal would deter Trump in any way.

The wording is much the same as the vile threats and claims which have been pouring from his mouth at recent campaign gatherings, where his cult followers cheer him on.

Also, like Trump, nothing this hacker/scammer says actually has any substance – it’s all ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ that means nothing at all.

I think the best bit, common to both, is the assertion:

I never make any mistakes.

The WHOLE THING’S one huge mistake!

Once again, I’m happy to call this moron’s bluff, and publish their email in full.

Enjoy.

Hi there!

I am a hacker and I have successfully gained access to your operating system. I also have full access to your account. I’ve been watching you for a few months now.

The fact is that your computer has been infected with malware through an adult site that you visited.
If you are not familiar with this, I will explain.
Trojan virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device.
This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it.
I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence.

Why did your antivirus not detect malware? The malware I used is driver based and I update its signatures every six hours. Hence your AV is unable to detect its presence.
I made a video showing how you satisfy yourself in the left half of the screen, and the right half shows the video you were watching at the time.

With one mouse click, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on your social networks.
I can also make public all your email correspondence and chat history on the messengers that you use.

If you don’t want this to happen, transfer 665 USD in Bitcoin equivalent to my Bitcoin address (if you do not know how to do this, just search “buy bitcoin”).

My Bitcoin address is: 1GRSCYSLDe4kX97QobTz8UcZZRVBXi2ewB

After confirming your payment, I will delete the video immediately, and that’s it. You will never hear from me again.
I will give you 60 hours (more than two days) to pay. I will get a notice, when you open this email, and the timer will start.
Filing a complaint somewhere does not make sense because this email cannot be tracked like my Bitcoin address.

I never make any mistakes. If I find that you have shared this message with someone else, the video will be immediately distributed.

Best regards!

Sure, I believe you – HERE, TAKE MY MONEY

Every now and then I have a look at my Spam Folder. Sometimes, it’s interesting.

The main reason for this folly is to recover misdiagnosed Spam. While the provider’s spam detector does a pretty good job at recognising the rubbish, it does seem to get a little over enthusiastic at times, and dump anything, even legitimate email from trusted sources. As far as I can tell, these overprotective urges can be triggered if the email contains words that refer to sources that are often spoofed, or used by spammers to hide their real identity,

Definitely NOT in that category though, was this utter gem I found lurking there recently.

I don’t usually even bother looking at this nonsense, but this one caught my eye for a number of reasons.

First was the valiant effort to appear to be smart and clever, but failing as the writer is obviously not as mature as they try to portray. Not helped by the various mistakes made in the writing.

Then there’s the ‘veiled threats’, promises of what they could do if they don’t get their money. Such things just show you’re not serious. If being a Glaswegian taught me one thing, it’s that threats don’t work if they’re muted. If you want to scare the shit out of somebody, THEN DO IT!

Without picking on any of the examples in this email, if you want to make your threats credible, then don’t claim you have evidence of things that haven’t happened, or recordings made when it’s not even possible. Good luck threatening me with video of my criminal or embarrassing activities – the first things I do with a new computer are disable all the default camera and microphone shares, THEN tape over block both of them – not much better than a good physical barrier. Please, go ahead and record from them whenever you like.

I have this mental image of a kid working away on this in his bedroom, with his favourite sock beside him (you know the one, the soggy one), hurriedly hiding everything away when the shout comes from mom downstairs, “TIMMY, YOUR DINNER’S ON THE TABLE, GET DOWN HERE NOW!”

And finally…

IF this moron was genuine, is anybody naïve enough to believe that after all the effort he’s gone to harvesting the stuff listed, he’s REALLY going to DELETE IT and disappear?

Someone who states: “Trust me, I am very careful, calculative and never make mistakes.”

“Trust me”?

Is he mad?

Here’s his complete email, by cut and paste, so what you see is what he typed.

I’d love to his bank account (crypto wallet, whatever), and find out how many millions, or even billions, it contains.

I tried to get an AI generated funny pic of a stupid scammer/hacker, but for some unspecified reason, whenever I used those words the resulting pics were censored, and I couldn’t even look at them :(

So, I had to keep changing the words used in the description until something was eventually delivered – it’ll do for these idiots.

Hi,

I am a professional hacker and have successfully managed to hack your operating system.
Currently I have gained full access to your account.

In addition, I was secretly monitoring all your activities and watching you for several months.
The thing is your computer was infected with harmful spyware due to the fact that you had visited a website with porn content previously.
╭ ᑎ ╮

Let me explain to you what that entails. Thanks to Trojan viruses, I can gain complete access to your computer or any other device that you own.
It means that I can see absolutely everything in your screen and switch on the camera as well as microphone at any point of time without your permission.
In addition, I can also access and see your confidential information as well as your emails and chat messages.

You may be wondering why your antivirus cannot detect my malicious software.
Let me break it down for you: I am using harmful software that is driver-based,
which refreshes its signatures on 4-hourly basis, hence your antivirus is unable to detect it presence.

I have made a video compilation, which shows on the left side the scenes of you happily masturbating,
while on the right side it demonstrates the video you were watching at that moment..ᵔ.ᵔ

All I need is just to share this video to all email addresses and messenger contacts of people you are in communication with on your device or PC.
Furthermore, I can also make public all your emails and chat history.

I believe you would definitely want to avoid this from happening.
Here is what you need to do – transfer the Bitcoin equivalent of 540 United States Dollars to my Bitcoin account
(that is rather a simple process, which you can check out online in case if you don’t know how to do that).

Below is my bitcoin account information (Bitcoin wallet):
1G3RLzYbEai8bKe9TAHBdeuXhTy3sXwxYP

Once the required amount is transferred to my account, I will proceed with deleting all those videos and disappear from your life once and for all.
Kindly ensure you complete the abovementioned transfer within 50 hours (2 days +).
I will receive a notification right after you open this email, hence the countdown will start.

Trust me, I am very careful, calculative and never make mistakes.
If I discover that you shared this message with others, I will straight away proceed with making your private videos public.

Take care and have a good day.
