"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

你好!

您可能已经注意到,&#25105;从您的帐户发送了&#19968;封电子邮件。
这意味着我可以完全&#35775;问您的设备。

我已经看了好几个月&#20102;。
事实是,您通过您访&#38382;过的成人网站感染&#20102;恶意软件。

如果您对此不熟悉,&#25105;会解释。
我创建了高质量的间&#35853;软件。 它允许我获得对您设&#22791;的完全访问权限和&#25511;制权。
这意味着我可以在屏&#24149;上看到所有内容,&#25171;开相机和麦克风,但您不知道。

我也可以访问您的所&#26377;联系人和所有通信&#12290;

为什么您的防病毒软&#20214;没有检测到恶意软&#20214;?
回答::我的恶意软&#20214;使用驱动程序,我&#27599;4小时更新一次签名&#65292;以便您的防病毒软件无声。

我制作了一个视频,&#23637;示了你如何在屏幕&#30340;左半部分让自己满意,在右半部分,你会看到你观看的视频。
一键! 您在电子邮件和社交&#32593;络中的所有联系人&#37117;将收到此视频! 你的生活将永远改变&#65281;
我还可以发布您使用&#30340;所有电子邮件通信&#21644;信使的访问权限。

如果你想阻止这个ʌ
将382美元的金额转入我的比特币地址(如果您不知道如何做到这一点,请写信给Google:“购买比特币”)。

我的比特币地址(BTC钱包)是:1DjuN5PM9VLXCeqYrb9nxzpQ8rb2hXZiEt

收到付款后,我将删&#38500;该视频,您将永远&#19981;会再听到我的声音。
我给你50个小时(超过2天)付款。
我收到了这封信的通&#30693;,当你看到这封信&#26102;,计时器会起作用。

在某处提交投诉没有&#24847;义,因为无法像我&#30340;比特币地址那样跟踪此电子邮件。
我没有犯任何错误。

如果我发现您与其他&#20154;分享了此消息,则&#35270;频将立即分发。

祝你好运,再见!
