Online Threats and Spam

The following items are examples of threats I have received recently by email. They are all scams, trying to extort money from me. 

I treat them the way I recommend that you should treat them - straight into the Trash Bin.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER obey these threatening notes, and NEVER reply to them. All that does is to confrm that your addres is correct. Just trash them and move on.

For your amusement:

Hello!

Look at the sender adress of this email ( From: ).

I sent this email from your account, I got full access to it and also your computer, even your webcam and microphone.

Few months ago you got automaticly infected with my malware, RAT ( Remote Administration Tool ), because your browser wasn't patched to that time when visited some website where my iframe was placed wich redirected to my exploitpack (drive-by-exploit) in the background.

Since then I collected all your private stuff, I even made some videos from you over your webcam and I think we both know, that if everyone else would see all that, your life would be simply hell!

I got absolutly all your contacts, your account on social network and so on...

To publish all I got from you would take me 5 minutes!

You know exactly about the very bad stuff and everything else you got on your computer!!!

I give you the chance to stop me from doing this!

Send me exactly 900$ in bitcoin ( BTC ).

If you don't know how and where to buy the bitcoins, Google "Where to buy bitcoins?", it's very simple task.

Your wallet can be created here: www.login.blockchain.com

My bitcoin adress is: 1Fjg3Q89MawTyfNcMbX6MUnfT923icRuMy

After that I will remove everything and we forget about everything - I promise!

I give you 3 days to get the bitcoins and pay me.

That all isn't a joke, like I wrote above, look at the sender adress of this email, it is your email and I sent it from your email account, because I got access to everything from you!
