Via Email: X,
I know that calling XXXXXXXXXX or visiting XXXXXXX would be a convenient way to reach you in case you don't take action. Don't even try to hide from this. You have no idea what I'm capable of in XXXXX. It's important you pay attention to this message right now. Take a minute to relax, breathe, and really dig into it.
We're talking about something serious here, and I don't play games. You do not know anything about me, but I know ALOT about you, and you must be wondering how, right? Well, you've been a bit careless lately, scrolling through those videos and clicking on links, stumbling upon some not-so-safe sites. I installed a Malware on a **** website & you visited it to watch (if you know what I mean). And while you were busy watching our videos, your smartphone started out operating as an RDP (Remote Control) which provided me with complete control over your device. I can look at everything on your display, switch on your camera and mic, and you wouldn't even notice. Oh, and I've got access to all your emails, contacts, and social media accounts too. Been keeping tabs on your pathetic life for a while now. It is just your hard luck that I stumbled across your misdemeanor. I gave in more time than I should have exploring into your data. Extracted quite a bit of juicy info from your system. And I've seen it all. Yeah, Yeah, I've got footage of you doing embarrassing things in your room (nice setup, by the way). I then developed videos and screenshots where on one side of the screen, there are the videos you were playing, and on the other half, it is your vacant face. With simply a click, I can send this video to all of your contacts.
I feel your worry and confusion. Wholeheartedly, I want to wipe the slate clean, and allow you to move on with your regular life and forget you ever existed. I am about to give you two options. Option One is to turn a blind eye to this message. Let me tell you what is going to happen if you take this option. Your video will get sent to your entire contacts. The video is lit, and I can't even fathom the embarrassment you'll endure when your colleagues, friends, and famcheck it out. But hey, that's life, ain't it?
Don't be playing the victim here.
Otherwise, the choice is to pay me, and be confidential about it. We’ll name this my “keep the secret fee”. Now, let me tell you what happens if you go with this option. Your secret will remain private. I will wipe everything clean once you send payment. You'll send the payment via Bitcoins only. Pay attention, I'm telling you straight: 'We gotta make a deal'. I want you to know I'm coming at you with good intentions. My promises are non-negotiable.
Amount to be sent: $2000
BTC ADDRESS: 1L8vEJbTzPgHujLyw3jCNef79bUntupjC3
Once you pay up, you'll sleep like a baby. I keep my word.
Important: You now have one day to transfer the amount and I will only accept Bitcoins (I've a unique pixel within this email, and at this moment, I know that you've read through this email). My system will catch that Bitcoin payment and wipe out all the dirt I got on you. Don't even think about replying to this or negotiating, it's pointless. The email and wallet are custom-made for you, untraceable. If I catch that you've shared or
discussed this message with someone else, your [censored]ty video will instantly start getting sent to your contacts.
And don't even think about turning off your phone or resetting it to factory settings. It's pointless. I don't make mistakes, X.
Honestly, those online tips about covering your camera aren't as useless as they seem. I am waiting for my payment..

Got a call from 855 898-8791, that went straight to voicemail. Message sounded like an actual person claiming to be "Karina" from "Document Procedures and Conduct" stating there was a sealed document to be delivered in-person to my home or place of employment. Stated that it would be escalated and noted as "failure to comply" and left same phone number (855) 898-8791 if I had any questions.

At no point did they identify me by name, address, phone number, case or account number, etc. While the call sounded threatening, they didn't ask me to DO anything or even to call.

Stated there was a relative who had passed away from a heart attack in Toronto, who was a citizen of the United States, who had left $9,200,000 in an unclaimed account that was now going to be listed as dormant so I needed to work quickly because there was a 10 year dormancy. Limitation And I was to email him immediately and let him know how to proceed with the transaction.

I received a call from a woman named Karen stating I needed to call the number above 844–2 24–3262 with a reference number because it was a process server and they needed additional information. I knew it was a scam or had a feeling it was a scan so I called the number and a gentleman answered it stating he was an attorney and then began to ask me to verify my identity so they could confirm it was really me Calling, I immediately told him that it was a scam and hung up .

This woman Karen called me and asked me why I didn’t complete my phone call and I hung up on her about an hour later I received a phone call from my father and another State who said that that lady Karen was calling him asking for me…

I was looking for insurance through "Homeowners Insurance Compare" (hereafter referred to as HIC), https://homeownersinsurancecompare.com/, and when I made it through the initial quote process (after which the website is supposed to provide quotes), I immediately received a phone call from this number. The person on the call tried to walk the line between pretending to be a representative of that company, but when they started asking for information that had been in the quote already, I started trying to dig into what their specific company was. Eventually they just stopped responding. To the best of my knowledge, I did not give out any particularly sensitive information, providing only confirmations and not any further information than what they already had. But still. As best as I can tell, they were absolutely not a legitimate business and yet were able to immediately get information on me from the comparison website listed earlier. I can't know on this side of the interaction whether this is the result of HIC sharing the information to anyone who will take it, or if it is the result of a security issue on their end, but regardless the company that contacted me by phone sure appears to be a scam.

I was told that if I had a certain amount of money in my account then the scammer was able to double it. He had “proof” on his Instagram page and i believed it. He told me to link a card to my cashapp then add my funds to it then told me to unlink it. Once I did he hung up on me and blocked my number. I reported it to cashapp but they aren’t doing anything about it. I should at least get some if not all of my money that I had lost.

The caller identified herself as "Lauren Carney" and asked to speak with a physician I support. I told them they were unavailable and asked to take a message for them. The caller listed the physician's license number and stated that there was an ongoing investigation and potential legal action against them, asking the physician to call back immediately.
