I had two of the TV license emails today (I renewed in Aug). Also had an email telling me one of my domain names was about to expire and would I pay them $80 to renew (it's due in January but not through them and it doesn't cost anywhere near $80) plus a couple of emails saying my phone had been hacked and to deposit a shed load of bitcoins into an account or the hackers would send pictures taken on my phone of me watching ---- to everyone in my email list. I get emails like this almost daily to one or more of my email address'
If any of you get any emails asking for money, even if it looks like a genuine email or it's from someone you know, always, ALWAYS check it and DO NOT click on the links!
 
Yes blah blah tv ....... blah blah, means jack to me, but I had the sense to know it was B.......
You proceeded, what about Malware or any other Bots you introduced to your system that are now either dormant and waiting or collecting your data blah blah blah...... ;o)))

I’ve had an email threatening to show all my contacts a film of me taken with my webcam performing a solo “act” unless I pay.
Its like the scammers aren’t even trying anymore.

Probably the same ones I've had. They send the email alegedly from your own email address to 'prove' that they have hacked you. Most people won't realise it's VERY easy to alter the 'from' email address to whatever you want.
BTW, could you send me £500 in used notes. If you don't I'll email the photos I have of you to everyone on this forum :)
 
I get a lot of remittance advice scam emails.
A bit annoying because I do get genuine ones, where I have to download a PDF.
The scam ones have an httml prefix, which is easy to spot.

I also get final warnings that I am about to lose my email address because AOL is now called Oath.
All I have to do is log in via the link supplied and update my details.

I don’t get so many now, but there was a spate of emails telling me to update my PlayStation password.
Just follow the link supplied.

But Moley - One man and His dog isn’t ----, I’ve told you that before!
 
Your right the tv license is the biggest scam going!

The threatening letters with the red writing are quite amusing tho!

They're ridiculous. I got one a couple of days after moving in to my current house because the previous tenant didn't have a TV licence, nearly 3 years later I still get a 'final warning, investigation active in your area' letter about once a month.

I don't have a TV licence either, but I don't watch TV.

...Yeah,i got that video of you...pretty open minded,so wasn't a problem...until i realised you were thumbing through yer regs book,with the other hand...just weird...;)
 
I got a repeat of what I call a "lucky shot" spam email. I'm sure out of the thousands of these that get sent out, one of the recipients will have been up to something in front of a webcam.
My personal email details have been edited out.

LAST WARNING [email protected]!

I give you the last 72 hours to make the payment before I send video with
your masturbation to all your friends.

The last time you visited a pornographic website with teens, you downloaded
and installed software I developed.

My program has turned on your camera and recorded the process of your
masturbation. My software has also downloaded all your email contact lists
and a list of your friends on Facebook.

I have both the m92qk51x.mpg with your masturbation as well as a file with
all your contacts on my hard drive.
You are very perverted!

If you want me to delete both the files and keep the secret, you must send
me Bitcoin payment. I give you last 72 hours.
If you don't know how to send Bitcoins, visit Google.

Send 1000 GBP to this Bitcoin address immediately:
3QKbw5QnxKMexLpQNLHhoLkqvCoqfSWp3v

1 BTC = 2750 GBP, so send exactly 0.368576 BTC to the address above.

Do not try to cheat me! As soon as you open this Email I will know you
opened it.

This Bitcoin address is linked to you only, so I will know if you sent the
correct amount.
If you don't send the payment, I will send your masturbation video to all
your friends from your contact list I hacked.

Here are the payment details again:

Send 0.368576 BTC to this Bitcoin address:
3QKbw5QnxKMexLpQNLHhoLkqvCoqfSWp3v

You саn visit police but nobody will help you.
I don't live in your country. I translated this message to your language so
you can understand.

Don't cheat me! Don't forget the shame and if you ignore this message your
life will be ruined.

I am waiting for your Bitcoin payment.

Cant even get the exchange rate right.
1000/2750 is 0.3636363, not 0.368576 as stated.

So, Colleen Anonymous Hacker.... do your worst!
