Scam Blackmail Email

[AreYouBeingSeriousNow]

I just received the email below, and while I don't visit any adult sites I'm a bit concerned as I do use my iPhone and iPad in the bath. Also DD uses both devices quite a lot.

Like everyone I've received this type of email before and have just googled and seen others have emails that are exactly the same and have binned and blocked the sender. However I can't find anything for this one and it's been sent via an app called UpKeep and has a purchase order attached. It was also in my inbox and not the junk folder which is new.

I know it's unlikely but I'd rather my workmates and family didn't receive footage of my boobs floating about in a bubble bath, as I watch the Bridgerton carriage scene yet again 😂

Also is there anywhere I can report these scumbags as I feel worried enough so can't imagine the panic that someone who has visited adult sites would feel!

Oh come on, you can't actually think that is real in any way, shape or form! Noone is getting your videos.

Does that look like a normal email address to you?! Total scam, block and delete.

I know the email address is odd but if someone had managed to access my devices then they wouldn't exactly use their personal email address like [email protected]

I have received lots of these emails over the past year and yes it's a scam.

Our local police force has been raising awareness on social media over the last few months too.

Delete and think no more of it!

I've had virtually that exact email numerous times. You have nothing to worry about, just delete it.

Delete and ignore.

The ones asking for bitcoin make me laugh. I have no idea how to do that. If you want to blackmail me, let's make it a currency I understand how to use 😂

Are you a female? How exactly would you 'jerk off'? It is a scam. If it was a real message they would have mentioned the boobs for sure!

But they haven’t, it’s a scam. And that’s what scam email addresses look like. I don’t see how you are not getting my point - it’s a scam therefore the email address is scammy.

😂 that's a good point. Thank you for setting my mind at ease.

I had one the other day with started off " hello pervert" I laughed a lot, rang my best friend to read it to because it was so creative, laughed some more and forgot all about it, scammers will try anything to get money.

It is a scam. Got the exact same email twice before (years ago!) and nothing happened. The idea is to scare you. Ignore and delete.

@Arlanymor no I'm obviously not getting your point. What would the email address look like if it was not a scam and they actually did have footage of me in the bath?

Delete & forget about it

You have to love their suggestion that footage of some anonymous person jerking off is going to go viral on every available platform.

I imagine that if they did have footage of you in the bath & they wanted to convince you, they’d tell you that was what they had & include some detail like the colours of your bath & your wall tiles. Or even better, a screenshot.

That scam came about after one of the black mirrors that was basically the same thing, so it's a few years old. Send it to junk and don't give it any more thoughts.

Go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Search your email address.

You will see your email address has been part of a data leak. That's how the scammer has got it.

Yes, maybe back in 1980 but now? Billions of naked people at your fingertips. No one is special these days lol

They didn't say they have footage of you in the bath, they said they have footage of you watching adult videos - which you haven't done. That alone should tell you it's fake.
Plus, it's a very well known scam, as others have said.
Even if it were real (which it isn't), would sending that money really guarantee they'd delete all their footage? I doubt it. They're just after easy money.

OP, everyone gets these! I get them and I'm a 63 year old grandmother who never watches porn! It's one the oldest scams in the book. And, as a pp said, asking for cryptocurrency is just stupid - cash is far easier to come by for most people!

100% scam.

These have been going around for years haven’t they?

I’d love to write back and say thanks but no thanks to the tutoring offer, I’d be more ashamed of your flagrant mis-use of commas than whatever you’re accusing me of!

I think everyone has had this email over the last decade. The same as the Nigerian Prince wanting my bank details 😂

It’s obviously a scam. If it were real then they’d send you a screenshot of the alleged video that they have.

Perhaps he'll let you pay him in commas as he evidently collects them.

But, as everyone else says, 100% a scam.
