I know Darrell loves internet scams. Here is one I got. Note- I got the same exact E-mail (word for word) from another address a couple days ago. The e-mail title contains an old password, one I have not used in probably 5 years (and it was only for Travelocity and Netflix). Also, the video described is not me.....that I guarantee (but they don't care), and I don't visit porn site so 100% sure nothing exists


I tried to cut and paste the email but its encoded so cut and paste does not work

Jist of it is i get an email with my password in the title to grab my attention. Sender states the have my email and all my contacts (facebook, email, etc) and last time I went to a porn site they down loaded all this info from my computer, including some video of me...well lets say I was having a good time alone. If I don't send the $3,000 in bit coin (the first email I got wanted $2,000) they were sending the video to 4 random contacts, could be parents or friends. Once they get the $3,000 they will never hear from them again.

Didnt send any bitcoin but did send them my debit card number and PIN (LOL). Can't believe anybody falls for this. But at least its not Nigerian

I received the same email in my hotmail account. It had a password from ten years ago, likely longer.
