It was a pdf with my name address and phone number and a picture of the house directly across from mine.
The guy is writing that he is videos from me watching filth which I don’t recall ever doing and he has footage from me from inside my house doing embarrassing things… help, I can’t imagine what… and if I don’t send him $1950, he’ll spread it all to my contacts….
Is such a thing possible, or someone’s just trying to make some fraudulent money off me?
Oh and he also wrote that if I share this email with someone, he’ll know and fwd all the filthy footage to my contacts….or if I don’t send the payment within a day, he’ll fwd to all mg contacts. And his bitcoin system will pick up if I discuss or share this email with anyone
Did anyone else receive such an email?? |
Also, never open attachments from senders you don't know! PDFs can have malware in them as well.

If you're in the U.S., Google or ask AI "how to report email scams government". It tells where to report.

Blackmail is a crime. Report it to the authorities.

I’ll be more specific, viruses that are installed by opening a pdf are usually targeted at computers. But I’m happy to be corrected. That’s just my understanding.

There is something called zx-tortion by the non jews.
A scammer (often from Nigeria) pretends to form a romantic relationship with a teen or young adult on line
And convinces the teen to send them naked pictures of themselves.
Then they are blackmailed over and over for $$$
Or they will send the photos to all their contacts.
People have committed suicide because of this.

There have been malware campaigns targeted towards android devices that use PDFs as an attack vector. I don't know the statistics about what devices are most commonly by malware from PDFs, but it would be a big mistake to think it's safe to open PDFs from unknown senders or that mobile devices aren't targets for malware.

The names are randomly generated. They aren't real people.
