New blackmail scam: Pay $8,600 or we’ll send your family video of you watching porn

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. (ABC7) — Police are warning about a new online blackmail scam trying to force you into giving up your money.

It all starts with an email that includes “your password” front and center.

The criminals give you two options: “…turn a deaf ear to this e-mail…” or “…or pay me $8,600…”

If you don’t pay, the criminals threaten to send a video of you watching porn to your friends, family, and co-workers.

Prince William County Police say it’s a scam sweeping the nation. And there’s a third option.

“If you get an e-mail like this, don’t open any attachments,” says Officer Nathan Probus. “We would encourage, if they see them, to delete them.”

These scams often have the same fake script with just one bit of personal information at the top, which they switch out for each victim. In some cases, they stole the person’s old password.

The latest scam has a new twist. The criminals write: “You’ll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you do not know this, just type “how to purchase bitcoin” in Google).”

The potential victim only gets one day to make the payment.

One of my employees got a similar email. It was from someone that said they hacked his phone on his camera and had video of him beating it to porn. They wanted $300 or they were going to send it to his work email list. The way it was worded was very specific, so it freaked him out. He ended up quitting over it although nothing came of it.

I got shook down for about the same thing before.  $52,000 at each pickup...twice per year.  Yet somehow the blackmailers rounded it up to $105,000 per year. . 

Fucking maths.  The film quality was decent enough for the time though, considering what we were all up to.  Then they wanted my car.  Because the cassette player was awesome.

Jokes on them.  My porn LT is a burner. In the age of chrome why not keep 2 laptops?  

1.  Take your burner LP and open every nefarious looking attachment in your spam box.

2.  Put every White House, Congressional, government and news related email address on your contacts list.

3. Put on a Trump mask, and vigorously beat off to every video under the categories of ‘Ivanka’ and ‘Cucked by Putin’

4.  Make sure to use your ‘small’ hand and don’t forget to hold a Big Mac in free hand.

5. Profit.

I got it too. Except they wanted $3k. My favorite part was the threat that they’ll send the video to 10 friends if I didn’t respond within 24 hours. Hah! Good luck, I don’t have 10 friends. Suckers.
