Two weeks ago I received an email trying to convince me that this anonymous person had a "video" his malware had secretly recorded by activating my computer's camera... ...which supposedly caught me in the act of doing something embarrassing. He threatened to release the video to people in my email contacts, etc. He said he'd destroy the "evidence" if I responded within 24 hours by sending $2,000 worth of Bitcoin to a certain one-time email address. I ignored his email and sure enough received another similar extortion email a few day later, the which also went into the bit bucket. I guess he got discouraged since he stopped his phishing emails... You see, I don't HAVE a camera installed on any of my computers here! NB: I do have one coming from Amazon, but it will only be plugged in and active for monthly Zoom meetings with two amateur radio clubs I am involved with... Fr.

May 13, 20206 yr Fr. Bill - You got off cheap. I don't have a camera either. The e-mail I got demanded $3000.

May 14, 20206 yr You are one lucky guy. A few years back I got an e-mail from a Mr. Godwin Ebele who is the Managing Director Of UBA in Lagos, Nigeria. But, all I received was USD$ 250,000 . It was, however, deposited to my account in a timely fashion..........Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.
