Here is a ransom request from a dude "who's not in my country so I can talk to the cops as much as I want anyway..."

I think I'll let the 48 or 72 hours lapse and see what happens.

Of course, the bitcoin scheme is great, it's much harder to track who this is than using the banking account numbers since those bank accounts are readily accessible to cops from anywhere in the world (that's one thing all countries of the world have agreed upon! The so called fiscal paradises exist for tax evasion, but not criminals.)

What's interesting is that they give you an ultimatum to pay in 2 or 3 days but no explanation on how to get your own bitcoin account. How do you do that if you have no clue?! Then the deadline passes and nothing else happens and you're happy you did not spend the $320...

Be careful out there!

You can complain to the cops but they will not help you.
I dont live in your country. It means they can not catch my location even for 3 weeks.

I put a virus on your system.
I had access to your web-cam, during your porn-site visit.
Now we have a video with your masturbation.
We copied all your contacts so if you want me to delete this compromising evidence I need to receive 320 $ in bitcoin.

This is my bitcoin address 1NvsENyxufmHtesaE7pANHq4N2RpRwzigx
(use it like your credit card number)

We give you 24 h after clicking on this letter for making the transaction.
If you need 48 h only write back +.

If you need proofs we can show everything to 5 mates from your data then I will give you their contacts. So you will ask them if something strange was received about you.

Bye. Dont forget about the shame.
