The moment I see a THREATENING LETTER with "ALOT" instead of "a lot" I immediately die of laughter. There's nothing less threatening than a blackmailer writing A LOT wrong.
I will say, it seems pretty normal, esp in 2024, that even real criminals would spell things wrong. I had the same reaction as you, but there’s really no reason that blackmailers would care about that. Unless they fear mockery by nerd (myself sooooo included). Sadly, pointing out an obvious spelling error is no longer the W of yore…

ive been getting a version of this email (mine was written better lol) and ive never taken a scam seriously in my life but I’ve also _never_ gotten spam like this that had my actual name, phone number, and address (even though the address was old) so it rlly did make me pause for a minute. What rlly freaked me out was the “nice set up” line bc im a music producer (it didnt occur to me these are targeted to gooners i guess). Ultimately it didnt rlly make sense so i ignored it but I looked it up later that day and saw some people on reddit that fell for it and paid the ransom. So Im glad ur talking about this. It seems fairly new and it has a surprising level of personal info for a mass spam letter. Mix that with the fact it’s new so there isnt a lot of info on it online and I think a lot more people than normal would fall for it. speaking about it will definitely help though
Hello Muta, I am a Nigerian prince from Nigeria, please don't let this event bring you down. I've been watching you for so long I feel like we're friends. I can help you with the blackmailer, but I need you to pay a customs fee because of legal reasons. Kind regards, Your friend - Nigerian Prince from Nigeria
A good point to remember with stuff like this: If they had anything they could actually use against you, they wouldn't be telling you HOW they obtained that information. It's purely a scare tactic designed to make them look smarter, and trick you into thinking the jargon they're using means they're telling the truth. Never, EVER, underestimate how much of your information is out there, especially when you (or people you know) are putting it out there publicly. In fact, you might as well assume your personal information is in a scammer's database, because it's a practical guarantee that it is.
Considering there are unnamed companies that just data mine all day, no doubt each one of us has a profile somewhere being sold to who knows who for how much
I’ve received at least 3 or 4 letters this year telling me my data has been leaked - one from Ticketmaster and the others from various medical databases. So I know my info is out there. However I’m broke and have shitty credit, so good luck doing anything with it
The type of info they have is always public record stuff. They get it off those peekyou, whitepages type sites. The irony is that those sites are scams themselves, the subscription fees are horrendous and the information they have are just scrubs of public records you could get for free, and they are wildly inaccurate and almost always several years out of date.
And if they were specific, they would add more details (if it was legit, the way they write). Like, say an outfit they saw you wear within the past week. When they say your co-workers will see it, specify the job exactly, etc.
I've gotten these kinda emails before too. The main tell that it's bullcrap, is that my bank account is perpetually barren, and no self respecting hacker would spend time and energy filming my poor ass for leverage...
Well yeah, these guys can't do shit unless gullible people fall for their scary threats, like young children, elderly people, or just people who don't know better. When they aren't engaged with they won't be able to follow through
This is just a spam mail. Creative, but ultimately its probably just sent out to like a mail list or something. Then someone responds, sends cash. I feel sorry for the people who fall for it.
This is a very old scam that's usually sent via email , I've had them occasionally for over a decade . All I do is delete and ignore them and never have a problem .

Same bruh, i'm clean af. The only dirt you'd find of me online is embarrassing pictures of 12 year old me on my mom's facebook or unused accounts on some dodgy corn websites
I chatted with a girl, over some dating app. She thought I was cheating on my wife, because one of my facebook friends has the same last name as me, and is around the same age. So she wanted money, a 1000$, because I am a filthy cheater. Little did she knew, that was my sister and not my wife.
I’ve noticed a recent up tick of these messages. My wife has received 4 emails that are worded the exact same way. A friend of mine at work got an email saying the exact same thing once again. Crazy!

None of that can be attributed to any race so you can't call it racism when someone speaks the truth about a terrible city.
Thank you for covering this. I got this same exact email the other day and started sweating. I called up my cyber security friend and asked him if it could be legit or not. We found out my info got leaked through advanced auto parts.
Someone hacked my email recently and sent a note to self accusing me of similar stuff and I couldn’t help but laugh because they opened with ‘hello pervert’
no it's not hacked. theres a way to spoof the sender-email to make it look like it actually came from you. I got one of these and still cant really believe that modifying the sender mail to any mail you want to is even possible. No typo in the sender-mail. 1 to 1 the same. Still Cant wrap my head around that and its weeks since i learned that this is possible. The only ways to confirm is pretty much looking into your "sent mails" folder, if it doesnt shop up, its not really from your mail. with some mail providers you can also inspect the raw version of a mail. and the difference from a real mail - sent from your actual mail account is a "veriefied" (actually yours) and "not verified" (not yours -> you're not actually hacked) mark stuffed between the lines of other technical stuff. But the normal user that doesn't know this is exposed to all those shenanigans and pretty much has to assume its real - because you wouldnt think that this actually works. I'd consider myself somewhat tech-savvy and even i didnt know this is a thing
I also get this email a bunch times myself, sucks for the scammer that I'm Muslim and I don't engage in the practices whoever this individual is assuming that I do. Astaghfirullah these people have no shame and assume their half-arsed strategy works on educated individuals. God bless you and stay safe Muta!
Some guy on NextDoor received the same nonsense. Fortunately, he asked about it before taking it seriously. His police department didn't care but we just told him to ignore it. It's sad that people do fall for these weirdos.

@HellTantrumbull bro them old school messages bored was fun 😁 but yeah I had someone try kicking me off yahoo chat telling me they was hacking me 😆 like nah you can't even send enough packets to kick me off chat gtfo here lol then I acquire his account and he had his girlfriend beg me to to get it back 😆 nope don't start somthing ya can't finish and p.s don't use such an easy pw it was common one form the 90s like password, 123456, qwerty ,abc123 somthing like that and trying to start stuff like I was chillin listening to music 😆
@@Anonymous_DabYou really shouldn't respond to them because then they know the address is active. They're far more likely to drop you from their spam list if you don't.
You're inviting more spam.
@TessaBain yeah I know but I don't check the email they sent it to anyway it's not my main and I get spam regardless I've had my Google accounts from when you needed an invite to join lol and yeah I know I'm old 😆
That's basically a case of breached data in a 3rd party website that has 100s of people names and old addresses, and this guy sent them in bulk to scam. That's it. It happens always, and it's not targeted.
Muta you laughing your ass over a threatening letter warms my heart. Your lack of fear gives me peace over the anxiety that I have that people would do the same to me. Thank you. Stay strong, don't let the assholes ever get you down.
simple, don't plug in a webcam to your PC. then anytime you get a scam purporting to have "video of you doing xyz" you can laugh as well......never understood people who leave mics/cameras connected 24/7
Ya he dident actually download anything i got one too you just need to ignore it or make it content
@@derekp6636 you're right about the point on PCs, but the thing is people have phones with cameras these days. scammers can easily just type "i've been watching you through your phone camera" and it'll be believable

The moment I see a THREATENING LETTER with "ALOT" instead of "a lot" I immediately die of laughter. There's nothing less threatening than a blackmailer writing A LOT wrong.
Nothing worse than a scammer that didn’t know what allotment.
@@ArtsMyth1967I can’t tell if you did that on purpose or not (allotment). 😂
I will say, it seems pretty normal, esp in 2024, that even real criminals would spell things wrong. I had the same reaction as you, but there’s really no reason that blackmailers would care about that. Unless they fear mockery by nerd (myself sooooo included). Sadly, pointing out an obvious spelling error is no longer the W of yore…
A lot of the time scammers purposely arent that convincing to weed out smart people who would see through the scam
Sorry you died

ive been getting a version of this email (mine was written better lol) and ive never taken a scam seriously in my life but I’ve also _never_ gotten spam like this that had my actual name, phone number, and address (even though the address was old) so it rlly did make me pause for a minute. What rlly freaked me out was the “nice set up” line bc im a music producer (it didnt occur to me these are targeted to gooners i guess). Ultimately it didnt rlly make sense so i ignored it but I looked it up later that day and saw some people on reddit that fell for it and paid the ransom.
So Im glad ur talking about this. It seems fairly new and it has a surprising level of personal info for a mass spam letter. Mix that with the fact it’s new so there isnt a lot of info on it online and I think a lot more people than normal would fall for it. speaking about it will definitely help though
As a Bramptonian myself, I can 200% say that person is most likely NOT capable.

These emails are sent in thousands so i dont think they care
😂😂
@@vodkawhisperer3923they dooo lol
Thin exact email has been sent to me twice… word for word and is sent out to millions
A good point to remember with stuff like this: If they had anything they could actually use against you, they wouldn't be telling you HOW they obtained that information. It's purely a scare tactic designed to make them look smarter, and trick you into thinking the jargon they're using means they're telling the truth.
Never, EVER, underestimate how much of your information is out there, especially when you (or people you know) are putting it out there publicly.
In fact, you might as well assume your personal information is in a scammer's database, because it's a practical guarantee that it is.
Considering there are unnamed companies that just data mine all day, no doubt each one of us has a profile somewhere being sold to who knows who for how much
I’ve received at least 3 or 4 letters this year telling me my data has been leaked - one from Ticketmaster and the others from various medical databases. So I know my info is out there. However I’m broke and have shitty credit, so good luck doing anything with it
The type of info they have is always public record stuff. They get it off those peekyou, whitepages type sites. The irony is that those sites are scams themselves, the subscription fees are horrendous and the information they have are just scrubs of public records you could get for free, and they are wildly inaccurate and almost always several years out of date.
And if they were specific, they would add more details (if it was legit, the way they write).
Like, say an outfit they saw you wear within the past week. When they say your co-workers will see it, specify the job exactly, etc.
@@Snorlaxiianyep :(
I've gotten these kinda emails before too. The main tell that it's bullcrap, is that my bank account is perpetually barren, and no self respecting hacker would spend time and energy filming my poor ass for leverage...
“You might see a video of me…”
We call that getting out in front of it…
It’s wild that the letter said “you fell off”

More often than not, blackmailers do not follow through with their threats.
Well yeah, these guys can't do shit unless gullible people fall for their scary threats, like young children, elderly people, or just people who don't know better. When they aren't engaged with they won't be able to follow through
This is just a spam mail. Creative, but ultimately its probably just sent out to like a mail list or something. Then someone responds, sends cash. I feel sorry for the people who fall for it.
Well yeah they can’t 😂😂
This is a very old scam that's usually sent via email , I've had them occasionally for over a decade . All I do is delete and ignore them and never have a problem .
Imagine being the guy that puts malware on your computer to watch you do things all day, just so they can strike at the opportunity to blackmail you, calling YOUR life a "pathetic existence".
Dayum. That’s really fucking true.

How is dude gonna say he used "malware to get you" when Muda has multiple times mentioned using Remote Desktops and is literally a cybersecurity professional lmao If someone actually pulled that off on Muda, then likely they're working for some government agency with the tech they have

same thing happened to me, pretty sure your account isnt hacked, they just spoofed your email to make it look like you sent it too yourself
@@ThermaL666 Ah well - it was so funny to me I didn’t even care if they actually hacked it lmao
no it's not hacked. theres a way to spoof the sender-email to make it look like it actually came from you. I got one of these and still cant really believe that modifying the sender mail to any mail you want to is even possible. No typo in the sender-mail. 1 to 1 the same. Still Cant wrap my head around that and its weeks since i learned that this is possible. The only ways to confirm is pretty much looking into your "sent mails" folder, if it doesnt shop up, its not really from your mail. with some mail providers you can also inspect the raw version of a mail. and the difference from a real mail - sent from your actual mail account is a "veriefied" (actually yours) and "not verified" (not yours -> you're not actually hacked) mark stuffed between the lines of other technical stuff. But the normal user that doesn't know this is exposed to all those shenanigans and pretty much has to assume its real - because you wouldnt think that this actually works. I'd consider myself somewhat tech-savvy and even i didnt know this is a thing
yeah i got same email with same opening
I've gotten a lot of those. You aren't hacked. They send millions of those out to random people and spoof your address. You're good.
