Email from "Hacker" that Face is under review?

Hi ,Michelle

my name is Dennis, I'm an independent advisor and I'll do my best to help today.

These emails are to steal information from users or money, stating that they have something about you but it's a lie, ignore emails with that type of information, if you feel more secure change the password to your email.

Regards,

Dennis.

Did anyone, by any chance, receive an email similar to this one?

It is a hoax, do not send them any money. I got the email twice and reported it to bitcoin. Sadly there are many people that have already sent them money. Do not reply to the message or send money. Just report it.

Everyone chill out I can guarantee this is a scam. If you receive this email, do the following:

1. Report the email as phishing spam
2. Report the bitcoin address

Again, just chill out, you are not the only one that receive this email. There are THOUSANDS of others. Like seriously how do you “hijack” my webcam if I don’t physically own one.

The version I received is shown below (It is almost the same as many other people received, some emails appeared half a year ago, just how did they miss a “<br>” when copying and formatting the email lol):

You may not know me and you are probably wondering why you are getting this email, right?

I’m a Hacker who cracked your devices. I setup a malware on the adult video (porn) website and guess what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out functioning as a “HRDP” – Hidden Remote Desktop Protocol having a keylogger which gave me accessibility to your screen and webcam. After that, my software program obtained all of your contacts and files. You entered a password on the websites you visited, and I intercepted it. Of course, you can change it, or already changed it. But it doesn’t matter, my malware updated it every time.

What did I do?

I generated a backup of your every system (private document files, video, photos, all files).

I created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you’ve got a good taste haha . . .), and 2nd part shows the recording of your webcam.

Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data is already uploaded to a remote server)

Do not try to contact me. Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help either, since your data is already on a remote server.<br>I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment, as you are not my single victim. This is a hacker code of honor. Don’t be mad at me, everyone has their own work.

exactly what should you do?

Well, in my opinion, x (USD) Dollars is 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).

My Bitcoin wallet Address: xxxxXXXX

(It is case sensitive, so copy and paste it)

Important:

You have 46 hours in order to make the payment. (I’ve a Facebook pixel in this mail, and at this moment I know that you have read through this email message). To track the reading of a message and the actions in it, I use the Facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (Everything that is used for the authorities can help us.) If I do not get the Bitcoin, I will certainly send out your video recording to all of your contacts including relatives, coworkers and all active social network on the internet. Having said that, if I receive the payment, I’ll destroy the video immediately.

If you need evidence, reply with “Yes!” and I will certainly send out 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 responding to this message.
