[QUOTE="melted welly, post: 9251282, member: 37168"] I had an interesting email off a gentleman last year. He was apparently heading up a crack team of scammers who had recently breached my security systems and was set to wipe all my files unless I paid him £500 in bitcoin, which seemed low given the international esteem he appeared to hold himself in. As the cherry on the cake so to speak, he also claimed to have taken control of the webcam and had footage of some “passionate masturbation sessions” 🧐 that would be sent to all contacts if money wasn’t received within 48hrs. Few things crossed my mind: 1. Might be quite nice if he wiped gatekeeper from the computer. 2. I don’t have a webcam. 3. The email came was to my work computer, which is in the office and I think someone else in the office might’ve said something about these alleged “passionate sessions”. 4. His spelling was atrocious. Anyway 48hrs came and went and I never heard any more from this international crime lord, maybe his mum had grounded him and turned off the internet that day 🤷🏻♂️ I could see however, if they get the right person with the right email, then there will be a chance at a response. Be a numbers game. [/QUOTE]
