There’s a new scam email going around whereby the scammer includes your name, phone number, and a photo of your house. The email claims that they took over your computer video and they have embarrassing videos of you which they’ll only delete if you send them $1,950 in Bitcoin.
I thought this was worth sharing after having heard others talk about it and now having just gotten the scam email myself. I’ve included a partial image of the email below. It’s worth sharing this with others who you think might be more vulnerable to such as scam.
The inclusion of the home photo makes it seem more real, but of course those can be lifted straight from Google Maps. And the names/phone are public record. In my case, they used a photo from an old address which isn’t even associated with me anymore.
