He had a dream, the dream was his, and he wanted to share his dream with the
rest of us.

Some of us live in a democracy, the dream was thrust upon All of us, without a single vote to determine if his dream was good or bad. Now we live, without our consent, with the outcome, and the pendulum has swung toward the bad.

Has anyone commissioned a study on how much time, in a persons day, is wasted answering bogus phone calls, listening to bogus voicemails, listening to blank answering machine messages, pushing endless voice prompts and getting nowhere, deleting scam emails, scanning for computer viruses/malware, trying to figure out how to operate a computer program, spending hours fixing a computer with a bad patch and Wondering who you can Trust?

Today my glass is have empty, but it can be filled up.

The person sending those extortion emails to me seems to have stopped, after having sent around four or five of of those emails to me. If he sends another one, I will save it and post it here. If you saved your email from this extortionist, could you post it?

After I starting this Thread and have read the recommendations, I have decided that the common sense course of action was to eliminate the extortion emails. I have contacted my email provider and since then the extortion emails have stopped for now.

If they start again and per recommendations, you should not even open them, so I don’t know how a person would be able to copy and post them here.

Thanks.

My above post was suppose to be directed to GoneToPlaid’s  POST. I was trying to quote his reply into sections but I must of taken out some block quotes and it ended up at the end of the thread. I’m still on the learn curve, stay home if I’m driving on the road.

Yes, same type of email. Like you, I also don’t have a webcam.

Below are some interesting recent programs.

My electronic communication devices are consistently being harassed with bogus scams. I never knew I was that interesting of a person.

Yes, “Have I been pwned” indicated Malwarebytes was hacked back in 2014. I have been registered on Malwarebytes forums, since before that year.

Yes, I will not make the same mistake twice. “Pain in the butt” is a understatement.

Would you please clarify if there was any pattern among the fraudulent senders? The pattern that stands out most is they all have the same, From: Name, And the subject line had my old password in it.

And whether it was you or the senders that consulted haveibeenpwned? It was me that consulted havebeenpwned, after researching about email extortion, havebeenpwned site came up a couple times.

Microfix,

Don’t re-use passwords on different fora or any sites.
I won’t make the same mistake twice.

When was the last time you done a full system virus/malware scan on your system? About a month ago,  Doing one right now.

Is there any way to check via your webmail (if you have one) for IP’s accessing your account? Someone was trying to access 15 times starting on  8/8/19 thru 8/25/19 from place throughout the world.  Automatic sync (what ever that means),  Result were unsuccessful Sync. Protocol: IMAP, All the IP’s are different.

This is kind of strange, when I posted this Thread I received an Adult Dating email at the exact same time. 11:46 am.

Thanks,

Woody,

Just to clarify that was Malwarebytes forums. I hardly ever used it.

The accounts were from online forums. No financial or other sensitive accounts.
