件名: メールアドレス:攻撃者が提示するパスワード
詳細:
It appears that, (攻撃者が提示するパスワード), 's your password. You might not know me and you are most likely wondering why you're getting this e-mail, right?
 
actually, I put in place a viruses over the adult vids (adult porn) website and you know what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what I mean). During the time you were watching videos, your internet browser started off working like a RDP (Team Viewer) which provided me accessibility to your screen and web camera. after that, my software programs obtained all your contacts from your Messenger, Outlook, Facebook, in addition to emails.
 
What did I do?
 
I produced a double-screen video. Very first part shows the video you were seeing (you've got a good taste haha . . .), and 2nd part shows the recording of your web cam.
 
exactly what should you do?
 
Well, in my opinion, 00 is really a fair price for our little secret. You'll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).
 
Bitcoin Address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(It is case sensitive, so copy and paste it)
 
Very important:
You've few days to make the payment. (I've a unique pixel in this e mail, and at this moment I know that you've read this email message). If I don't get the BitCoins, I will certainly send your video recording to all of your contacts including family members, co-workers, and so forth. Having said that, if I receive the payment, I'll destroy the recording immidiately. If you want evidence, reply with "Yes!" and i'll definitely send your video recording to your 6 contacts. It is a non-negotiable offer, that being said don't waste my personal time and yours by answering this message.
