I got an email from the "FBI"

[Bobby]

I got this one today.

It got my heart racing for about 3 seconds because it started off, you're under investigation and for a sec I thought it was some BS about a Covid contact. Then it goes on to say, there's an arrest warrant out for you and to press 1 to hear more details. As soon as it said that I looked at the number and it was from a mobile number. You'd have to be a window licker to fall for that.

Why can't the Grubberment close them down?

Could be.
I use Norton and it tells me if I try to click on a dodgy website.

[Black Orchid]

BTW mine was from Emergency Alert NSW. I'll be aware of it now but at the time it looked dodgy.

The message was sent from 0444 444 444.

They will try anything.

Even better as I don't use Paypal or have an account.

I am sorry to inform you but your device was hacked.

That's what happened. I have used a Zero Click vulnerability with a special code to hack your device through a website.
A complicated software that requires precise skills that I posess.
This exploit works in a chain with a specially crafted unique code and such type of an attack goes undetected.
You only had to visit a website to be infected, and unfortunately for you it's that simple for me.

You were not targeted, but just became one of the many unlucky people who got hacked through that webpage.
All of this happened in August. So I’ve had enough time to collect the information.

I think you already know what is going to happen next.
For a couple of month my software was quietly collecting information about your habits, websites you visit, websearches, texts you send.
There is more to it, but I have listed just a few reasons for you to understand how serious this is.

To be clear, my software controlled your camera and microphone as well.
It was just about right timing to get you privacy violated. I have made a few pornhub worthy videos with you as a lead actor.

I’ve been waiting enough and have decided that it’s time to put an end to this.
Here is my offer. Let’s name this a “consulting fee” I need to get, so I can delete the media content I have been collecting.
Your privacy stays untouched, if I get the payment.
Otherwise, I will leak the most damaging content to your contacts and post it to a public website for perverts to view.

You and I understand how damaging this will be to you, it's not that much money to keep your privacy.

I don’t care about you personally, that's why you can be sure that all files I have and software on your device will be deleted immediately after I receive the transfer.
I only care about getting paid.

My modest consulting fee is 1650 US Dollars to be transferred in Bitcoin. Exchange rate at the time of the transfer.
You need to send that amount to this wallet: 1CcWVVERk1oqjC7UbWrGSGWLGvh2YTCx8k

The fee is non negotiable, to be transferred within 2 business days.

Obviously do not try to ask for help from the law enforcement unless you want your privacy to be violated.
I will monitor your every move until I get paid. If you keep your end of the agreement, you wont hear from me ever again.

Take care and have a good day.

---------------------------------------------

I get these occasionally and they look like they are being sent from your own email account. Usually they say I am making my own porn videos and will release them if I don't pay up. That mustn't have been working so well for them so they changed tack. Lol

I recently got one.

And what a persistent Indian arsehole he was too.

I was washing my car at the time and I stopped to answer this mysterious number.

This was the reason why I needed to listen and do exactly as I was told by this strange Indian voice.

My car had been found in another state of Australia abandoned and my licence papers were found in it. Blood stains were also found ( this bit did sound desperate and I have to admit I began to play along for fun ).

So I went on about the blood stains.

I asked him where the blood stains were. Apparently they were all over the front passenger seat.

And because of that I was about to be arrested for murder.

So I asked if they found the body from which the blood came from? The answer was no.

That's when I thought I could take the conversation one of two ways.

1. I could own up as being the person who was murdered.

OR

2. I could tell the nong that I don't have a driver's licence and I've never bought a car in my life.

But this is where the stress came in for me. I was torn btwn the above 2 choices.

I had to think quick because the soap suds on the car I was washing at the time were fast drying. I opted for 1.

My response?

Quick quick quick! Call the police and tell them the blood on the passenger seat came from me and I am alive and well. It's just period blood. So it's ok. Ta muchly.

Answer?

Fucking bitch followed by angry Indian words.

Phone call ended.
