  • TV Licence Scaremongering

    It’s that time again where I have to certify that I promise not to watch broadcast TV.

    Although they do try very hard to make me click the wrong button

    Its like Amazon and their attempts at tricking us into buying Prime.

    And then once the relevant form is filled in, you get this email

    “If any of your circumstances change, such as you start watching live TV”. What is this, I come home one night after work and have a relapse and binge on 6 hours of Corrie?

  • I guess I need a cover for my webcam…

    I guess I need a cover for my webcam…

    Uh oh, looks like I need to cover up my webcam better… Someone on the Internet infected my PC with some remote access software and recorded me watching non-advertiser friendly video.

    Scams today are so tedious and unimaginative…

    Hello there!

    Unfortunately, there are some bad news for you. Some time ago your device was infected with my private trojan, R.A.T (Remote Administration Tool), if you want to find out more about it simply use Google.

    My trojan allows me to access your accounts, your camera and microphone. Check the sender of this email, I have sent it from your email account.

    You truly enjoy checking out porn websites and watching dirty videos, while having a lot of kinky fun. I RECORDED YOU (through your camera) SATISFYING YOURSELF!

    If you still doubt my serious intentions, it only takes couple mouse clicks to share the video of you with your friends, relatives, all email contacts and on social networks.

    All you need is $1200 USD in Bitcoin (BTC) transfer to my account (Bitcoin equivalent based on exchange rate during your transfer). After the transaction is successful, I will proceed to delete everything without delay.

    Afterwards, we can pretend that we have never met before. In addition, I assure you that all the harmful software will be deleted from your device.

    Be sure, I keep my promises!

    If you are unaware how to buy and send Bitcoin (BTC) – Google: Where to buy Bitcoin (BTC), to send and receive Bitcoin (BTC), you can register your wallet for example here: www.blockchain.com

    My Bitcoin (BTC) address is: 1EH41rY38ZwshtqCF3hKzjaFQhVaZ7zrNH Yes, that’s how the address looks like, copy and paste my address, it’s (cAsE-sEnSEtiVE).

    You are given not more than 48 hours after you have opened this email (2 days to be precise).

    As I got access to this email account, I will know if this email has already been read. Everything will be carried out based on fairness! An advice from me – regularly change all your passwords to your accounts and update your device with newest security patches.

    Like where do we even begin? If you’re going to scam money out of me I’ll need a bit more proof than some words in an email. The Russian ladies on Snapchat at least send photos.

    I miss the Nigerian scams, they had a story behind them instead of “send money please or I release your dick pix, thanks”. You could also reply and sometimes they’d reply back to you. I can’t even reply to this boring thing.

    It’s like the boring “Microsoft Support” phone calls.
