For the last week, I have been receiving the following emails (and variations) to a variety of email accounts for the different domains I have. I have been laughing about it, deleting them and moving on. But today is Monday and I’m in no mood for this crap.
Hey dumb ass spammers, I’ll let some of it slide but don’t annoy me before my Monday morning coffee!!!
The email is an interesting threat but there are so many problems with it, I figured I would go through a bunch of them:
(1) You didn’t hack my email account (or accounts since I have received many of these emails). First thing I did was turn on “All Headers” in Thunderbird. The information was:
Message Id: rpapfg.h4vyn05g8k1ilhh@mail.rainvac.com Return Path: marketing@rainvac.com Received: from server.rainvac.com ([67.225.188.99]:56969) from 90-148-158-212.bluetone.cz ([212.158.148.90]:59400
So, an email account is hacked but it ain’t mine. Someone from the Czech Republic is logging into the marketing email account at “Rainbow Vacuum Specialists” and spamming the world with this garbage.
If anyone from “Rainbow Vacuum Specialists” reads this emails, would you please KICK your IT department’s CTO/director’s chair and tell them to get off there ass and fix the hacked account(s). Also, remove the malware that is installed too!!
(2) I don’t go to porn sites. Hence, no malware was installed on my PC. I also keep AVG software up to date plus I run TDSKiller at least once a week. My PC is my whole life, so I can’t allow anything to happen to it.
(3) I do NOT have a web cam attached to my PC. I just don’t have a need for a web cam. I’m not into video chatting. Hey, I’m a boring guy!! Also, if I was going to video chat then I would use my iPhone’s FaceTime. D’Oh!
(4) The nonsense about Facebook Pixel makes me laugh because it is just so dam funny. For those computer geeks out there, here’s the funny part:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
For those non geeks, basically the header says that the email is a Plain Text message (i.e. not HTML aka web) hence there could not be any tracking in the email. i.e. not like a web page.
So, here is the dumb ass’ spam email:
You may not know me and you are probably wondering why you are getting this e mail, right?
I’m a hacker who cracked your email and devices a few months ago.
Do not try to contact me or find me, it is impossible, since I sent you an email from YOUR hacked account.
I setup a malware on the adult vids (porno) web-site 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 RDP (Remote Control) having a keylogger which gave me accessibility to your screen and web cam.
After that, my software program obtained all information.
You entered a passwords on the websites you visited, and I intercepted it.
Of course you can will change it, or already changed it.
But it doesn’t matter, my malware updated it every time.
What did I do?
I backuped device. All files and contacts.
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 web cam.
exactly what should you do?
Well, in my opinion, $1000 (USD) 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:
1CJRgpn87v1YU55xL5uzLQ8ekssiuHR7CE
(It is cAsE sensitive, so copy and paste it)
Important:
You have 48 hour in order to make the payment. (I’ve a unique pixel in this e 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 BitCoins, I will certainly send out your video recording to all of your contacts including relatives, coworkers, and so on.
Ok, now I’m going to drink my coffee in peace.
