New Extortion Email Scam Threatens to Release Your Sex Tape

Scammers are now sending extortion emails stating that they have a tape of you and them having intercourse and are threatening to release it if you do not send them a $1,500 in bitcoins.

In a new email scam campaign going around, extortionists are stating that they had intercourse with you a long time ago and had secretly recorded it. They then state that they stole all of your passwords and contact lists while you were in the bathroom.

The email goes on to say that if you send them $1,500 in bitcoins, they will delete everything they have about you and you will never hear from them again.

The reality is that this is just a scam and the senders do not have a tape of them having intercourse with you. Therefore, you should not send them any money or be worried that it is true.

The good news is that people are not falling for it and the bitcoin address associated with the above email had not received any payments as of today.  Unfortunately, we cannot provide this bitcoin address due to privacy concerns of the person who shared the above email with BleepingComputer.

If you are interested in reading the full extortion email, it is shown below.

Surprised? 

I have yet another surprise for you, our intercourse video. 

Yes, you read it right. We had intercourse quite a long time back, and I recorded a video of it. Not just the video, I even saved all your passwords, contact lists and everything. I did all of this when you were in the bathroom, trying to clean yourself. 

Trust me, I can fcuk up your life if I want to. 

I am not an evil individual, it's just that, I need some money and I am certain you can help me with it. 

So here is the non-negotiable deal. You send me $1500, and I will delete everything I have about you. You will not ever ever hear from me. 

Send the money to my bitcoin (BTC) address. Search Google (How to buy bitcoin), if you do not know how to send bitcoin. 

Address: 
[id]

Darling, the address is case-sensitive, so it is better to copy and paste it. 

If I do not get the bitcoins within one day, I promise, I will: 

1. Send our intercourse video to all of your contacts. 
2. I will leave our intercourse DVD to your neighbors (I know where you reside), and a copy for your nice family as well. 
3. I will NOT let you live your life, as simple as that. I will keep coming back. 

For the apparent reason, I can not tell you my personal name, but yes, I can tell you one thing that, it was a long, long time back darling.

While receiving one of these emails can be anxiety provoking, always remember that these are just scams and you should not believe anything they state. Instead, just mark it as spam and delete the email.

Thx to Sigtrap for sharing the email!
