I received one and recognized the password as one I haven\u2019t used in 20 years the newest version isn\u2019t even that good. Here is the text you might be getting:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>It appears that, (), is your password. You may not know me and you are most likely wondering why you are getting this e-mail, right?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>in fact, I setup a viruses over the adult vids (porno) web-site and you know what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what What i&#8217;m saying is). When you were watching videos, your internet browser began working like a RDP (Remote Desktop) which gave me accessibility of your screen and web camera. after that, my computer software obtained all of your current contacts from the Messenger, Microsoft outlook, Facebook, as well as emails.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>What did I really do?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>I made a double-screen video recording.

If I do not get the BitCoins, I will certainly send your video recording to all of your contacts including relatives, colleagues, and so forth. Having said that, if I get the payment, I&#8217;ll destroy the video immidiately. If you&#8217;d like evidence, reply with &#8220;Yes!&#8221; and i&#8217;ll undoubtedly mail out your videos to your 6 contacts.

Second, my webcam is unplugged and stays that way unless I actually need it. Third, I run security scans on all the Anger Central systems constantly.<\/p>\n<p>This scam has been running around for a month or so, and this iteration is showing that some meathead, who probably saw one of the original messages that did have passwords, just copied the idea and blasted it out. It isn\u2019t even as good as the original ones. When I saw that one I paused for almost 30 seconds before mumbling to myself, &#8220;Yeah, right. Pull the other one Boris.&#8221;\u00a0 This one went right into the trash before I decided to pull it out alert those of you less knowledgeable then I on these matter.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t waste your time with this moron and certainly don\u2019t send him any bitcoin.
