Over the weekend I received a “blackmail”scam email demanding bitcoin from me.
The email accurately contained my full name, phone number and home address. (Easy info to buy since so many companies, my kids school district and the VA have been compromised. )
Then he made false claims stating I visit naughty sites and he has control over my camera and he has footage of me etc.
funny considering we done run any Windows computers.
He provided an address and demanded I send him $2,000 usd in bitcoin.
I sure wish I was an experienced hacking sleuther and could track down this con artist.
I do wonder how many people he scares into sending BTC? I’ll have to browse the blockchain for his address.
The email claims to come from “Johnny Stanfield”.
What a dirtbag.
