What do I do if I receive an email threat?

I recently received an email in my spam folder and it was threatening to send a video of me masturbating to all of my contacts. What do I do?

  • I promise you these are lies. I’ve had them many times before and they are a common thing. The first time I got one I cried because I didn’t understand. They usually tell you your password or something that is just a lucky guess or from a leaked site. You can google the email address it comes from and you will see that they’ve sent the message to hundreds of other people. It can be very scary (I know that from pasts experiendes) but I am now very well versed on it, so if you have any questions ask. Don’t be scared- it’s a lie. They don’t have videos. And most importantly- don’t send any money/bitcoins because then you get put on a list of ‘vulnerable victims’ and you will only get more emails. Hope this helps x

  • Have you actually sent anyone such a video? If so and it wasn't more than a few people it'll be pretty easy to narrow down. If you never have then it doesn't exist.

    • I have never recorded anything like that. But everyone masturbates, so they could have hacked into my computer and filmed it themselves?

    • Don't worry. I'm sure it's a scam do blackmail money from you.

  • Well, as long as you know you never took a vid of you, doing it, and posting it, or sending it to anyone, it should be just spam, and is likely even a virus..

    If you did take a video of you masturbating and posted it or sent it to someone, then you MIGHT want to call the cops

    now you know how serious it is, to not do these things

    • I have never recorded anything like that. But everyone masturbates, so they could have hacked into my computer and filmed it themselves?

    • like i said, it's likely nothing and is probably even a virus

  • IT's a common scam. They say 'oh we've hacked your machine and seen your websites and have video of you masturbating.

    And the 92% of people who've masturbated to porn while on computer go hmmmm that seems possible.

    Let me guess, you have to pay in bitcoin.
