[QUOTE 5351873, member: 21629"]I've got an email asking me to pay $1000 because my phone has been hacked and the video I was watching has been recorded. If I will not pay that money that video will go to all my contacts. Blah blah blah.
Couldn't resist answering "I own Nokia 3310."
And last time I watched video on my phone was last year.[/QUOTE]
I received virtually the same by email, although the demand was for $1800 in Bitcoins, and they claimed to have video of both what I was watching and of me at the same time. In a nasty little twist, the blackmailer/ scammer knew one of my passwords. The police said they weren't interested unless money had actually changed hands, and to ignore it. So I did.
