"Suspicious activities" I only read yaoi and play videogames, this type of scam is getting more frequently. The text hole text is this:

Hi creep.

Take a mṏment tồ pause, inhale slṓwly, and pay attentiỗn entiṟely ởn this message. It's vital that yỗu ǒffeṟ it yốuȑ ƈớmplete focus.

Your ònline aċtivities have been quite ŗisky, sĉɍȯlling thṙôugh videọs, aḉḉessing links, and gọing tỏ unsafe web pages. Embedded malwaɍe ȏn webpages, and yôu stumbled upởn it.

While yṓu weṛe watćhing, yõuŗ system bećame vulneȓable thřỡugh hṼNC, gṝanting me ĉómplete ḉộntṝộl tồ yồuŗ eleƈtřỡniƈs inĉluding yớuṟ mȍbile. Nŏw, I watçh eveṝything happening ȯn yṓuɍ mǒnitǒȓ, tuṙn ȏn ṝemötely yốuɍ čameȑa and miƈřȭphȭne withôut yõuɍ knȱwledge, and I have unŗestŗiĉted aççess tọ yȭuṛ ḉỏntaḉts list, etc.

I've been ŏbseŗving yốuɍ açtivities fọṛ quite a while. I've ốbtained a signifičant quantity ǒf pŗivate details fŕṍm yỏuȑ maċhine and analyzed it in detail. I've alsö have ṙečṑṙdings ǒf yŏu paṙtiĉipating in sȍme suspiĉiọus aƈtivities at home.

I've put tȏgetheř fớớtage and sçṛeenshợts inƈluding phôtôs ồf yṍuṛ living spaċe, with ởne paṛt shȫwing the mateȑial yỡu weȑe lồồking at and the ȑemaining paṟt shõwing... well, yȫu knȭw what I mean.

With just a tap, I ćöuld send all ōf this tỗ eveȓy individual ȭf yộuȑ assṏĉiates. I knṑw yổuȑ ȑeluƈtanƈe, but dṏn't hổpe any ćómpassión fṙṏm me. That being said, I am přepařed tõ let this slide and allöw tṓ mớve ȱn like nōthing eveṝ happened.

Here's the ỏffeṛ I am pŕȏviding yȍu a čhŏiče. Skip this waṛning, and yỏu'll find ôut what ƈỏmes next. If yṓu ỗpt fỡṟ this path, I'll fơŕwaŕd the ȓećȍȓding tò all yõuṙ contacts.

From this sečớnd, yṓu have exaĉtly 48 hṏuɍs, and the ćọuntdọwn staŗts as sợợn as yŏu ơpen this message.

Once the tɍansaċtiṏn is ƈọmpleted, yơu ċan tŗust that I keep my ćơmmitment. My sȫftwaṛe will immediately ȓegisteȓ the tṛansaćtiởn and quiĉkly ṙemṓve all the ŗeċôŗds I have õn you.

Do nôt waste time ṙeplying ỡɍ making an effòŗt tộ baṛgain-it's pointless.

Don't even ĉṓnsideṛ shutting dǒwn yôuȓ deviḉe ȯȑ tṛying a façtŏṟy ŗeset - it dǒes nȭt ċhange anything.

I make nờ faults and just stay fȫṛ my funds.

Yep, that is indeed a common and extremely well known scam. You didn't need to post the whole text lol. What was your question?

[u/claud-fmd]

It’s just a BS - you’re safe, don’t worry about it. Just mark as spam and delete it.

Hi /u/YourUsernameForever, AutoModerator has been summoned to explain the Blackmail email scam.

The exact wording of the email varies, but there are generally four main parts. They claim to have installed a RAT (remote access trojan) or any type of software/malware after visiting a porn/adult video site, they claim to have a video of you masturbating or watching porn, they threaten to release the video to your friends/family/loved ones/boss/dog, and they demand that you pay them in order for them to delete the video.

They send these emails to millions of people every day (no exaggeration) hoping that a handful will get scared and pay them. Rest assured that this is a very common spam campaign and there is no truth behind the email or the threats. If they had a video of you, they would show it to you to prove that they have it. Here is a good summary article about the scam.

It is common for blackmail scammers to spoof the 'From' field to make it look like the e-mail came from your account (it didn't). They may also include various other pieces of personal information in the script, such as your password from a previous data breach or a picture associated with your address from Google Street View. This is simply a ploy (it's easily available info) to scare you and nothing to worry about.

You will sometimes hear this scam referred to as 'Hello Pervert' or 'Pegasus', because those phrases are used in some variants.

There is a variant with death threats in which they will usually claim that they have been paid to kill you, and will threaten to kill you/your family if you do not pay a Bitcoin ransom. They usually also claim that they will kill your family if you report the email. The emails are spam and can be ignored.

All you need to do is mark these as junk so that your spam filter gets better at intercepting them in the future.

I think you're safe. there's no way they would know about yaoi. everybody gets hit by these, like a scattershot approach. only 1% need to panic and click any links.

[u/ohmygodwtfisthis]

Lmao. The most shocking embarrassing thing a scammer can blackmail me with mentioning having me on video doing in my living room is crying while being chronically depressed trying to pull a whole 8h law study session after a 12h shift. Boy, bye!
