Frauderant email

I received the following email this morning and trend micro did not pick it up:Hi! As you may have noticed, I sent you an email from your account. This means that I have full access to your account: At the time of hacking your account(louglenn@telus.net) had this password: gd48558891 You can say: this is my, but old password! Or: I can change my password at any time! Of course! You will be right, but the fact is that when you change the password, my malicious code every time saved a new one! I've been watching you for a few months now. But the fact is that you were infected with malware through an adult site that you visited. If you are not familiar with this, I will explain. Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device. This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it. I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence from e-mail and messangers. Why your antivirus did not detect my malware? Answer: My malware uses the driver, I update its signatures every 4 hours so that your antivirus is silent. I made a video showing how you satisfy yourself in the left half of the screen, and in the right half you see the video that you watched. With one click of the mouse, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on social networks. I can also post access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use. If you want to prevent this, transfer the amount of $760 to my bitcoin address (if you do not know how to do this, write to Google: "Buy Bitcoin"). My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 19rtEghbzbyBqmgJLBtUGd9VvVC1s2bKzR After receiving the payment, I will delete the video and you will never hear me again. I give you 48 hours to pay. I have a notice reading this letter, and the timer will work when you see this letter. Filing a complaint somewhere does not make sense because this email cannot be tracked like my bitcoin address. I do not make any mistakes. If I find that you have shared this message with someone else, the video will be immediately distributed. Bye!

Hi louglenn,

This is an email scam -- a phishing method that aims to get your personal information. Our new online tool called Fraud Buster, which can quickly let you know if the email you received intends to deceive you, identified this as High Scam Risk. Check this out: 




I suggest you change all your account passwords immediately and perform a full scan. For more info about this email scam and Fraud Buster, you may visit this link:
