[Scam email] I’ve been Hacked email sent from my account!

I got the same email today. Was a little worried until I saw ‘highly controversial porn sites’ as I know I haven’t been and don’t go to those.

I quickly looked it up and found this thread. One thing I noticed was while they mimic your address so it appears they logged into your account, there was no corresponding email in the sent or deleted folder. I highly doubt if they were trying to convince me they hacked my account they would permanently delete the proof that they are real.

I got the same mail, but in my case the id is exactly the same id as mine. No difference in letters, no spaces, no change whatsoever.

I know it is a scam and Im not worried at all. But I just want to understand how can the id be exactly the same.

Hi Simon,

I have got the same email, in my junk.

Email has my profile picture no spelling errors in the email.

Can you please tell us what is this technique if they are able to use my email address they can pretend to be me.

Microsoft cyber security needs to investigate this.

Thanks

Mustafa

The one I search has made 0 BTC. Don't know if it's been emptied or never actually has anything in it.

I received the same email today. I've had a few of this type of email over the last year, but only the last couple have looked like they've come from my email address. They usually make the mistake of saying they've recorded from my webcam, which is a dead giveaway, as I don't have one of those. This latest one didn't, but the rest of it is just the same rubbish, so easily identified.

What is worrying though is how much these creatures make from it. You can check the crypto wallet address they give (just Google the crypto they state and 'wallet checkup') and you'll find a site where you can see what payments have been made.
