Just received one of the "new" scam emails

Freakbro said:
I received a spam email from "HMRC" yesterday, and apart from having an attachment and the incorrect (but easily fooling) email address of [email protected], it was pretty perfect to the normal HMRC emails I get, in graphics, layout and even signed by Alison Walsh, it even had the "If you think that an email is suspicious please report it to [email protected]." cheeky beggars!

and did you?
 
Don't know what the fuss is about, personally.

Male + internet access = known outcome :p I mean the cross-dressing Tibetan circus midget thing is probably a bit unusual, but we all have our kinks ;)
 
Not a scam email, but I've received this today and have had previous ones like it before

Off tears are day blind smile alone had

wth is this about?
 
Bit of a bump, but I got a new one today. Reads like a Temu Jason Bourne script. :D

FROM RITA JOHNSON
City: Abidjan
Country: Cote d'Ivoire,
Location: West Africa.

Good day,

I am Donald Collen. I am 20years old .I am the only child of Mr. and Mrs. David Collen. My late father David Collen, died and left me and my mother Mrs Rosemary Collen who was later killed. My late father Chief David Collen was the former Director of Sierra Leone Mining Corporation and owns many properties before he died which he left to my mother Mrs Rosemary Collen for me.

Within a year of my fathers death, my Mother Mrs. Rosemary, was killed by hired killers, after my mother was killed my fathers lawyer called me to hand over my late fathers documents. After my fathers lawyer have handed over the documents to me, my uncles started demanding for the Documents of my late fathers wealth. I now called my fathers lawyer, he came and told my uncles that my father made a will that all his properties belongs to me.

After my fathers lawyer have made that statement my uncles started fighting against me to an extend they went and arranged for hired killers to kill me. They tried once as I was in school, that made us to drop out from school because I am afraid let something not happen to me again in school premises, this is the reason why I contacted you as an honest person so that you can help me in transferring my late fathers money into your bank account so that it will be safe for me before I come over to meet with you.

The said fund is ($8.500,000) Eight million five hundred thousand United State Dollars, which is deposited into one of the banks in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire . I will be greatful if you can tell me the percentage that will be suit for you after transferring this money in your account successfully and after this transfer you are going to send to me a letter of invitation so that I can come over to your country and continue my education. Please do your best to help me and God will bless You.

Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.

Thank you so much. My regards to your family.

My sincere regards,
DONALD COLLEN.

I love those emails. I store them in a separate folder.

They all assume I go to porn sites (I don't) and that I have a webcam (I don't).

Here's a couple of ones from last year. The first one has those '>>' signs in it that you used to get in the 1990s.


>> Hi,
>>
>> 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?
>> Answer: The malware I used is driver-based, I update its signatures every 4 hours. Hence your antivirus 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 e-mail correspondence and chat history on the messengers that you use.
>>
>> If you don't want this to happen, transfer $1190 in Bitcoin equivalent to my Bitcoin address (if you do not know how to do this, just search "buy bitcoin" on Google).
>>
>> My Bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: bc1qs69a2mgwu2x9jdjqncrlnfm8kws77qa3hg609u
>>
>> 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 50 hours (more than 2 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!


Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your Microsoft account.

I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisеly.

Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners. It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I’m getting at.

It’s been a few months since I installed it on all your dеviсеs because you were not quite choosy about what links to click on the intеrnеt. During this period, I’ve learned about all aspects of your private life, but оnе is of special significance to me.

I’ve recorded many videos of you jerking off to highly controversial роrn videos. Given that the “questionable” genre is almost always the same, I can conclude that you have sick реrvеrsiоn.

I doubt you’d wаnt your friends, fаmily аnd co-workers to know аbout it. However, I cаn do it in а few clicks.

Every number in your contаct Iist will suddenly receive these vidеоs – on WhаtsApp, on Telegrаm, on Instаgrаm, on Fаcebook, on emаil – everywhere. It is going to be а tsunаmi thаt will sweep аwаy everything in its pаth, аnd first of аll, your fоrmеr life.

Don’t think of yourself аs аn innocent victim. No one knows where your реrvеrsiоn might leаd in the future, so consider this а kind of deserved рunishmеnt to stop you.

I’m some kind of God who sees everything. However, don’t pаnic. As we know, God is merciful аnd forgiving, аnd so do I. But my mеrсy is not free.

Trаnsfer 1900$ to my Litecoin (LTC) wаllet: ltc1q2jjwqhynca6p9t9w62g7ph86934k5xmkupkz6m

Once I receive confirmаtion of the trаnsаction, I will реrmаnently delete аll videos compromising you, uninstаll Pegаsus from аll of your devices, аnd disаppeаr from your life. You cаn be sure – my benefit is only money. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be writing to you, but destroy your life without а word in а second.

I’ll be notified when you open my emаil, аnd from thаt moment you hаve exаctly 48 hours to send the money. If cryptocurrencies аre unchаrtered wаters for you, don’t worry, it’s very simple. Just google “crypto exchange” or "buy Litecoin" аnd then it will be no hаrder thаn buying some useless stuff on Amаzon.

I strongly wаrn you аgаinst the following:
* Do not reply to this emаil. I've sent it from your Microsoft аccount.
* Do not contаct the police. I hаve аccess to аll your dеviсеs, аnd аs soon аs I find out you rаn to the cops, videos will be published.
* Don’t try to reset or destroy your dеviсеs. As I mentioned аbove: I’m monitoring аll your аctivity, so you either аgree to my terms or the vidеоs аre рublished.

Also, don’t forget thаt cryptocurrencies аre аnonymous, so it’s impossible to identify me using the provided аddrеss.

Good luck, my perverted friend. I hope this is the lаst time we heаr from eаch other.
And some friendly аdvice: from now on, don’t be so cаreless аbout your online security.
