It uses data (name, email and address) stolen from Pish Posh.

How do you know where she got your info from?

If you check out the Reddit link that a previous poster shared you’ll see this scam is not only for imas. Literally thousands of people got that email

It’s not imamother related! Look at this Reddit thread I posted before
https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams.....view/

Tons of random people got this same exact email the same day.

There have been so many data breaches lately, all of our info is out there.

Correction: my data was stolen from PishPosh Baby. I know this because I once placed an order there as a favour for someone and that was the information used in the email.

Got it also , happened to watch a non Jewish movie for first time in forever and I knew was a scam but took this as a sign for me, not judging anyone else at all but this is something I have been working on and def was not adult filth ! Was so scared at first then realized was a scam
I did open up the pdf how do I run an anti virus ? Do I have to pay for one is there a free one?

Wow that’s crazy. The scammer happened to have my old address, not one that I ever used with pishposh but I guess they have lots of ways of getting info

I got it too and it’s really creepy. Had a picture of my house with my name, phone number etc. Its also written in proper English, no spelling or grammar errors etc.... Luckily I never access anything of the sort, so I knew it was a scam...

Of it…wanted to post a screenshot but not sure how to.
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??

I got the exact same email yesterday. The picture is straight off of Google maps, my husband checked that. I was paranoid too, even though I can tell it was a scam!

I got it and my neighbor too. Maybe we should make a poll to see how many people got it. I was alarmed but was 99% sure was nothing. Just checked with my dh to be sure. I’m waaay more gullible then he is.

Ty all imas! I got it too and was so shaken! I know it must be spam but s Stupidly I open the email pdf because I thought it was a receipt that I was waiting to get. Does anybody know what I could do. I opened it on an iPhone -are there any security measures that I should/should not be taken. It’s so good to know that this was not just me.

Because it’s written by AI, which knows proper grammar.
