"Greetings,

I am sorry, but I have to start with the bad news.

A few months ago, I gained access to your account linked to OS, and therefore to all the devices you use for internet browsing.

Then it was easy for me to install special software on all your devices that tracked your every keystroke and mouse movement.

After that, gaining access to your personal e-mail [REDACTED] was no longer a problem.

Your password on that moment was: [REDACTED]"

"I hope you've begun to realize that I can turn your former life into shame and embarrassment in one moment.

However, I am a rational person and I don't want to make anyone suffer for the sake of suffering, so we can make a deal.

You need to transfer $1370 USD bitcoin equivalent to this BTC crypto wallet: 12mwSFYDyCWta8uMNxq52mENdi3nkjQGa5"

The scammer claimed to have made video recordings of me in a compromising situation.

Back in June on my way home from vacation I discovered that my Facebook account had been hacked. The hackers took over my account by not only changing the password but also changing the email address it was linked to, therefore, I could not recover the account to delete it. I also discovered shortly after that they had hacked into three of my personal accounts. I had to file fraud reports with the three vendors. I spent a whole day changing all of the passwords to all of my accounts. Although, I did not incur any expenses, I was under a lot of emotional distress. In addition, the hackers sent me an email demanding that I send them bitcoins. They continue to have control over my profile/account. I get messages from friends and family telling me that they are using my information to try to scam people into sending them money for bogus concert tickets. They moved on to scamming people into sending them money for bitcoins. They are posting things using my family’s photos including pictures of my two-year-old granddaughter to try to convince people it is me. This is causing my daughter and son-in-law a lot of uneasiness. They are using my name to post fake pictures of people holding signs saying that they are debt free thanks to **** ******. They also posted a picture of a fake certificate saying that I earned my cryptocurrency certification. They also claim that I am a Certified Bitcoin Professional. My friends and family have reported it on many occasions and I have received emails saying that Facebook won’t delete the account because it does not go against their company policy. Facebook does not have direct customer support. They don’t have a support line you can call. I have sent them emails with no response. I have tried everything I can think of the get em to remove the account. I don’t know how to get them to understand that this is causing me and my family much emotional distress and angst. If there is anything you can recommend, it would be very much appreciated. I just want this over and done with so I can stop stressing over it.

I can include some screenshots that my friends and family have sent me showing me what they have been doing.

My Facebook business account was hacked on September 28 by a hacker with the business name HT Toys. The hacker took control of my account and created fraudulent advertisements. Because my business Facebook account contains my business credit card stored in the system, the hacker was able to make very large fraudulent advertising purchases. Total fraudulent charges from September 28 through October 15 = $4,958.62. Facebook has not issued any refund and they have not given any assistance to remove the hacker's presence in my Facebook advertising account.

I have been the victim of postal identity theft. I believe this is a form of a brushing scam. With my situation though, the items are being shipped to various addresses across the country, using my name and address on the return label. This makes it difficult or impossible for me to refuse delivery of the packages. There is no invoice inside the packages or any indication of where they were actually shipped from. They also use an overseas shipping partner who is the first shipper, then it is shipped by USPS. Tracking data shows the items being mailed from my zip code. The post office tells me that they cannot determine where the packages originate. I have received about 10 packages so far. I have filed claims regarding identity theft with the postal inspectors office and with my local police department. I have not had any bank accounts hacked and have not lost any money in this scam. they just continue to use my full name and mailing address to ship packages. The items are cheaply made products - t-shirts, sports jerseys, caps, phone case. The post office has not provided a solution to this problem. I was initially keeping the items for evidence, but they were piling up and the post office said I can just toss them. I still have some of the tracking numbers for the items, and case numbers for the reports I have filed. When I reported it to the post office, one of the customer service reps documented the tracking numbers I provided.

I was on the Duolingo app. An advertisement popped up for a free app. I clicked on the advertisement a QR code appeared on the screen. I tapped on it. I later figured out when I tapped on the QR code my personal banking debit information was captured. I was signed up for a subscription with fraavy.com without my authorization. Later on in the day I noticed a debit to my account for $49.95. I initially thought it was the app with the free trial. I later found out the fraavy.com surreptitiously stole my personal information when I tapped on the QR code and subscribed me to a bogus site. Be really careful with these sites. I noticed many people have been scammed by this company that steals your information via QR codes.

I was approached by this company because I was having issues with my computer and email. They offered to help, but instead I lost my passwords and cannot retreive them because they use a "remote". I have put this on a credit card and the bank thought it was fraud. The bank issued a new credit card x2. Now I am working on a third one. Please help and dispute this claim. Would like this company taken off my computer.
