Got one in Hotmail saying it had my info and would “release it unless I paid”, but I didn’t open it as it was from my own address (spoofed)- I look3d at the source rather than open it- which zpparently is safer. Also was on linux at the time, so again, another lever of protection.
To view source, right cl8ck an unopened email, and choose “source” or “view source” or something like that. You can check out pertinent details like where it is actually from, which is why I viewed the source as it looked like it was from my email address. They threatened to “release Incriminating evidence” if I didn’t pay up, which was a crock because I don’t have anything to hide- there is no incriminating evidence to reveal- however, with ai becoming prominent now, deep fakes will be produced and used as blackmail no doubt- i think the internets is gonna get ugly (or rather uglier than it already is) in the near future-.
I got those emails, along with ones claiming to have captured me in embarrassing ways (and will publicly release video) — they are all bogus.
Besides, what better way to advertise an Only Fans person than to have people willing to spread the news that you can get more of this if you go to an official account!
Ugh.
How do you right click an email that comes in on your phone?
