Message Body: We have hacked your website cho-wa.com and extracted your databases. This was due to the security holes you had in your your site/server which have gained us remote control of pretty much everything that was on the server. Our team is mostly interested in customer, administrative, and employee information which we have extracted through your databases once we got remote control over the server. It still needs to be sorted out but it will be well-organized once finished. First, we will be going through the emails/sms information and contacting the recipient how you held in disregard about their information being exposed to a hacking group when you could have stopped it. This would be detrimental to your personal image with these relationships with these people. Lastly, now that we have information not only will we be monetizing off it with our methods but made public or sold to other people that will do whatever they wish with the information also after we are done. Now you can put a stop to this by paying a $3000 fee (0.11 BTC) in bitcoin to the address 36dVU734JWLxv9X25nEjUcfDY9EQLapw55 We will be notified of payment which we will then delete the information we have obtained, patch the hole in the site/server which we got in and remove you from any future targeting in the future. You have 72 hours in doing so after viewing this message or the series of steps will commence. You can obtain bitcoin through such services such as paxful.com or do a search on bing.com

Scammer contacted me. I'm a scambaiter who goes after scams on Social Media. He offered to hack into my friends IG account to recover it for them.

He pretended to be Jukka Koskinen, a bassist for a popular band. He's really from Nigeria and is trying to offer me a visit if I paid him with Bitcoin.

Tried to impersonate by sending me an email that looked as if I had send it to myself

A very generic email sextortion email claiming to have hacked one of my accounts and subsequently my computers. They are extorting 800USD, claiming they will spread your dirty stuff around the internet and to your family and friends. Bitcoin wallet is: 1NL4B6t3BkmUYbrYZsARYe9fThZkTiVb8w

scam was sent to spam on my gmail i opened it and found he wanted 900 in btc

Initially contacted through instagram in September 2021 then texted through WhatsApp until February 2023. Imposter stating he was Omarborkan an Arab model/photographer who stated he was willing to assist me in my career. He sent me UAE papers to enroll in special program for businesses. Upfront money of $12,600.00 via Bitcoin that I was unfamiliar with. He sent me the wallet. He continued to tell me that we needed to have a Dubai Model exhibition with us as sponsors. More money requested. And was told we were fined thousands of dollars for dishonesty in the Muslim religion Claiming we had a romantic relationship. Majority of conversations were by text several by VideoConnect but now looking back was altered. I was told by this man that he’s a public figure and due to his fans and media had to change phones frequently and couldn’t have pictures or conversations out there until we make it official when I’m in Dubai. I became more and more suspicious and requested my money back. That’s when they changed the rules and terms. Blocked all of them. Requested help from Tom Brandt of mytcybersecurity to obtain my money /bitcoins. He stated he did per attachments but unable to move the bitcoins. He said to pay with credit card which made no sense. multiple questions to support with no response. Question if Bitcoin is in my BNT wallet. That money I took out of my retirement funds leaving me in debt and with the IRS. I’m 75 and smart but Omarborkan impersonator was very slick.

Standard E-Mail (German language), claiming to have control over my computer made a video etc. Requesting EUR 5000 = 0.1942 BTC Two mails with identical text but different BTC-addresses sent to two different mail aliases of the same mailbox.

I received an email saying I was hacked and all my contacts would receive images of me doing 'things' if I did not send them $500 in bitcoin. They had an old password of mine they said that's how they hacked me. I attached an image of the email. I laughed but some people might take it seriously. They used my email to send me an email.

I am a spyware software developer. Your account has been hacked by me couple months ago. The hacking was carried out using a hardware vulnerability through which you went online (Cisco router, vulnerability CVE-2023-20026). I went around the security system in the router, installed an exploit there. When you went online, my exploit downloaded my malicious code (rootkit) to your device. This is driver software, I constantly updated it, so your antivirus is silent all time. Since then I have been following you (I can connect to your device via the VNC protocol). That is, I can see absolutely everything that you do, view and download your files and any data to yourself. I also have access to the camera on your device, and I periodically take photos and videos with you. At the moment, I have harvested a solid dirt... on you... I saved all your email and chats from your messangers. I also saved the entire history of the sites you visit. I note that it is useless to change the passwords. My malware update passwords from your accounts every times. I know what you like hard funs (adult sites). Oh, yes .. I'm know your secret life, which you are hiding from everyone. Oh my God, what are your like... I saw THIS ... Oh, you dirty naughty person ... :) I took photos and videos of your most passionate funs with adult content, and synchronized them in real time with the image of your camera. Believe it turned out very high quality! So, to the business! I'm sure you don't want to show these files and visiting history to all your contacts. Transfer $1360 to my Bitcoin cryptocurrency wallet: 14YLQ A98RN JX22W2 Prmc7PR QNf6QQ f1B1D Just copy and paste the wallet number when transferring. An important notice: I have specified my Bitcoin wallet with spaces, hence once you carry out a transfer, please make sure that you key-in my bitcoin address without spaces to be sure that your funds successfully reach my wallet! If you do not know how to do this - ask Google. My system automatically recognizes the translation. As soon as the specified amount is received, all your data will be destroyed from my server, and the rootkit will be automatically removed from your system. Do not worry, I really will delete everything, since I am 'working' with many people who have fallen into your position. You will only have to inform your provider about the vulnerabilities in the router so that other hackers will not use it. Since opening this letter you have 48 hours. If funds not will be received, after the specified time has elapsed, the disk of your device will be formatted, and from my server will automatically send email and sms to all your contacts with compromising material. P.S. Do not try to contact me (this is impossible, sender's address was randomly generated). I advise you to remain prudent and not engage in nonsense (all files on my server). Good luck!

A random email ended up in my outlook mailbox asking for bitcoin.
