You won’t believe it, but we’ve now reached extortion email number 20 today.
Yes, twenty times these pathetic digital stinkers have hit my inbox with the exact same garbage: “I sent this from your own email, I have a private Trojan, I recorded you masturbating, pay me $800 in Bitcoin or else.”
At this point, it’s less of a threat and more of a pathetic comedy routine that refuses to end.
These clowns aren’t sophisticated hackers. They’re not secretly controlling your camera or your device.
They’re just lazy, low-rent spam farmers running automated cannons that blast out millions of identical emails every single day, spoofing sender addresses like it’s some clever new trick.
The Bitcoin wallet they keep pushing (17EZaSdSndsyuQC8xJxarrFse19QiDdFQJ) is already well-known on scam trackers as another dead-end sextortion address. No footage exists, no malware is watching you, and the only “private RAT” here is their complete lack of originality.
Nineteen mails in one day isn’t intimidation — it’s a desperate cry for attention from international keyboard warriors who have nothing better to do than recycle decade-old data leaks and hope someone panics and sends them crypto.
They’re not powerful, they’re not watching, and they’re definitely not winning.
They’re just sad parasites feeding on fear and volume because actual skill is clearly too much work for them.If you’re getting bombarded like this, delete every single one immediately, never reply, never click anything, tighten up your old passwords, enable proper 2FA everywhere, and laugh at these stinkers while they waste electricity on victim number 20.
…and yes, it very likely comes from the Philippines — probably from Makati City near Manila. The broken, machine-translated English screams exactly that kind of low-effort scam operation. From these kinds of scammers you can never expect decent English anyway — what you get instead is this hilarious mix of Google Translate disasters and pure desperation.
The only thing they’ve successfully recorded is how embarrassingly bad they are at crime. Don’t give them a single cent or a single extra second of your time. Stay cynical, stay calm, and remember: these losers only have power if you let their pathetic spam scare you. Number 20 received and promptly ignored. Bring on number 20 — I’ve got delete ready.
…and yes, Makati has quite the reputation for this sort of thing. Philippine authorities — the Bureau of Immigration (BI) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) — have raided so-called scam hubs there multiple times in recent years. They’ve busted dozens of foreign nationals (often Chinese, Malaysian, Vietnamese, and others) holed up in shiny office buildings, running what are basically call-center-style fraud factories packed with computers and scripted workers.
The typical scams coming out of these hubs are the more “personal” kind: romance/love scams on dating apps and social media, investment fraud, fake lending schemes, phishing, and various social-engineering tricks. Many of these operations are backed by international syndicates, frequently with heavy Chinese involvement. The workers — sometimes there voluntarily, sometimes under pressure — sit at their workstations following scripts like good little drones. Makati offers them fast internet, plenty of anonymity inside big commercial towers, and easy escape routes when things get too hot.
There have also been real sextortion cases in Makati, but almost always the old-school personal variety: someone builds online contact (often via Tinder or Bumble), sweet-talks the victim into sending intimate photos or videos, and then blackmails them with the actual material. For example, back in 2025 a 24-year-old man in Makati was convicted after extorting a woman using her own explicit images and videos.
