Breaking 911: JACKSONVILLE, FL—The FBI is warning residents of central Florida and beyond of an emerging scam that can target a variety of individuals. FBI Ocala has received numerous reports of the “blackmail scam” in recent weeks.
The scam usually begins when a scammer sends an anonymous letter claiming to have uncovered evidence that the recipient of the letter has committed acts of adultery. The scammer threatens to reveal the information to the recipient’s spouse, family and friends, and demands payment in exchange for secrecy. more here
Evidently Stormy didn’t pay the blackmail fee and was outed.

Wasn’t this a Monty Python skit?
bring it on losers.
When you know your not a cheat and walk with God in your heart, evil cannot touch you with its lies and deceit.
Yet another reason why President DJT is winning so bigly all the time!
My husband got one just yesterday.
Claiming he had all his passwords,demanding 7000.00 in bitcoin for a donation within 2 days or he would send photo’s of him viewing porn in a “splt screen” (we haven’t any camera)Anyway I called service provider and they have a FBI Abuse address to forward it to.
Say for example your password is “Fat baby” well it was addressed to Fat_! So annoying!
Good.
Something to look forward to other than the usual IRS scam I get every week on my phone.
Are we sure it isn’t the FBI mailing those letters and pinning on someone else? They seem to have perfected precisely these techniques.
Got mine yesterday. It seems they had the password I used with Microsoft / Live / Outlook email. In a way it was good, since I didn’t even remember that I still had that account. I know what they claim is bogus, but still is really annoying to receive that.
Anniegirls, they demanded only 2500 bitcoins from me. Why is my privacy worth less than yours?? LOL!!
