Sample Threat Email

[Full Name],

It's important you pay attention to this message right now. Take a minute to relax, breathe, and really dig into it. 'Cause we're about to discuss a deal between you and me, and I don't play games. You don't know anything about me whereas I know A LOT about you and right now, you are wondering how, correct?

I very well know that calling [Phone Number] or knocking [Street Address] would be a effective way to reach you if you don't cooperate. Don't even try to escape from this, I know where your family lives and you've no idea what I'm capable of doing in [Home City].

You've been careless lately, scrolling through those videos and clicking on links, stumbling upon some not-so-safe sites. I actually placed a Malware on one such website and you visited it to have fun (if you know what I mean). And while you were accessing that website, my malware allowed me total control over your device and your device initiated functioning as a RDP (Remote Control). I can control everything on your display, switch on your cam to record you, and you wouldn't even suspect a thing. Oh! you guessed it right, I have recorded you and I've got access to all your contacts, and social media accounts too.

Been keeping tabs on your pathetic existence for a while now. It's simply your misfortune that I saw your blunder. I put in more time than I probably should have investigating into your personal life. 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's whatever garbage you were playing, and on the other part, it is you doing dirty things. With simply a single click, I can send this filth to all of your contacts.

Your confusion is clear, but don't expect sympathy. Genuinely, I'm ready to wipe the slate clean, and let you get on with your daily life and forget you ever existed. I am about to give you two alternatives now.

First Option is to ignore my message. Let's see what is going to happen if you choose this option. I will send your video to all of your contacts. The video is lit, and I can't even fathom the humiliation you'll endure when your colleagues, friends, and fam see it. But hey, that's life, ain't it? Don't be playing the victim here.

Wiser second option is to pay me, and be confidential about it. We will name it my “privacy charges”. let me tell you what will happen when you go with this option. Your filthy secret will remain private. I'll destroy all the data and evidence once you come through with the payment. You'll send the payment via Bitcoins only. I want you to know I'm aiming for a win-win here. My promises are non-negotiable.

My Fees Amount: $ 2950

BTC ADDRESS: [Bitcoin Address] (Copy it carefully)

Let me tell ya, it's peanuts for your tranquility.

Note: You have one day to make the payment and I will only accept Bitcoins (I have a unique pixel within this e mail, and right now I know that you have read this email). Once my system will catch that full Bitcoin payment, it'll 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 mail with anyone else or online, your shitty 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, [First Name].

Honestly, those online tips about covering your camera aren't as useless as they seem. I am waiting for my payment.
