David H. Lipman Posted July 20, 2019 ID:1323932 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) This is purely a scam and they send those emails out en masse hoping one or two bite at the bait. Just delete the email and then change your email password to a new Strong Password just to make sure. Additionally, you can enter your email address(es) in the following site and it will check to see if that email address was part of a known breach. This is most likely how they know the password. From a breach and not from your PC being compromised. https://haveibeenpwned.com/ Please reference: ----------------- US FBI PSA - Extortionists Increasingly Using Recipients' Personal Information To Intimidate Victims US FTC Consumer Information - How to avoid a Bitcoin blackmail scam MyOnlinesecurity - attempted-blackmail-scam-watching-porn BleepingComputer - Beware of Extortion Scams Stating They Have Video of You on Adult Sites Malwarebytes' Blog - Sextortion emails: They’re probably not watching you Malwarebytes Forum sample thread - Got strange threating email.

Please read the References in Post #2. They want you to panic and they want you to pay the BitCoin fee. It is nothing more than a poor man's get rich scheme. Edited July 20, 2019 by David H.

David H. Lipman Posted July 20, 2019 ID:1323954 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) N O ! Again - Please read the References I provided. Use Critical Thought. If you were infected and they wanted you to pay a Fee, your email would be distinct and personal. Compare your email to those in FYI: Email Ransom Scam still current and review the time frame of the References I provided. As I wrote in Post #2, "...they send those emails out en masse hoping one or two bite at the bait " and that's why your email is so very similar to those being represented. It would not be cost effective to create hundreds of email variations and distribute them to all the possible victims. Instead, in each campaign they create one email format and broadcast it to a wide distribution list. You are not the only recipient. They perform an email version of "mail merge" where an email template is created and they merge data fields ( email address and password ) into the email so that one email is sent personalized with the password associated with that email address. This in not unlike using MS Word and create a Mail Envelope template that merges the contact information of a list of people and their Postal Addresses . You print the Envelope and if there are 20 people in that contact information list then you end up printing 20 envelopes each with an individuals' postal address. The email is generated the same way. A new campaign may use a new variation of text in the email body but the process is the same. Edited July 20, 2019 by David H.

Jockyspider Posted July 20, 2019 Author ID:1323955 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Ok thanks you for that I was just concerned hope you understand my concern Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted July 20, 2019 ID:1323956 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) Yes. That's why I chose to add those authoritative references to show the breadth of the scam so people can see the text is used and reused and that it is well known by Law Enforcement as a scam. You are not the first coming to the forum seeking assistance with this scam ploy and, sadly, you probably won't be the last. Edited July 20, 2019 by David H.

David H. Lipman Posted July 21, 2019 ID:1324088 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I have requested you read those authoritative references. The come from the here at Malwarebytes, the US FTC and FBI, Bleeping Computers and MyOnlinesecurity. I asked you to use Critical Thought and compare the text of your email vs. the text of similar email scams. I have explained about Mail Merge and how a mass email can be sent "personalized" with a password of your own making and I have provided a link to a site, https://haveibeenpwned.com/ , where one can check if they were part of a breach and how that personal password was obtained. If you still think this information in the email is true then you do have a high probability of being an easy mark. The fact that you are here, and still questioning it, shows promise. Please read those References I have provided and do compare the text of the email with the subject matter within each reference. Then I urge you to read; I'm infected - What do I do now? and make a post in; Windows Malware Removal Help & Support and request that you would like to have to have your PC checked out for assurance and reference this thread.

Jockyspider Posted July 21, 2019 Author ID:1324090 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I did do that check yesterday 3 times data was breached, also did virus scan with malware bytes and came back clear, if you are definitely 100% sure i have not been hacked and had my personal files stolen, I will be happy if you could confirm this, cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 96 of those and similar emails in a folder stashed away to use as examples for my clients that they in themselves are harmless. For peace of mind, I would have your computer checked out by the experts in our malware removal section as David suggested. I know my computers are clean as I do this for a living.
