I was laughing all the way through reading this. Definitely a step up from my Nigerian uncle who's desperate to get in touch with me.

I like the bit about you not being able to prove any of the things that they've just laid out they will do.

Is that from Rudy Giuliani?
Got a very Trump/Q-Anon vibe there.

Very similar to the 'I installed a spyware on your computer and caught you masturbating to goat porn' scam emails that go around. I guess the first question is, is that actually your business and then regardless of your answer just delete :).

Given that BitCoin has just hit a 3 year high of $19k, 0.39 is a sizeable chunk of change though and it only takes one person to fall for it for them to be laughing.

I haven't got a business and don't sell anything. It came through the contact section of the blog I've been doing about my journey as a widowed father.

Ignore. Copy and paste the bitcoin address to www.bitcoinabuse.com to check.

Then ignore.

I like though that they've demanded a payment method that probably no-one who falls for the scam would actually be able to figure out how to use 😃

May be go on a jabba large, massive bender and do all those naughty things you shouldn't?

If you're going to get ruinously accused of attempting to "do anything to anything; animal, vegetable, mineral" then at least get some jollification out of it...

Or forward it to report@phishing.gov.uk, as bin sed up there ---^.

Or both.

I'd worry about being EXACTLY SITTED. I can handle an approximate sitting, but exact might be a step to far.

Used to watch it every Sunday night on BBC with David Attenbrough narrating it.

"and now.... as the male.. attempts to... mount... the female..."

“Ignore”? Can’t you bloody read - gnusmas said he was laughing at it, obviously he knows to ignore it! Duh

Certainly a new way to try to extort money. Most enjoyable 😂

Nothing to add for the op other than thanks for the laugh...

But....

Very similar to the ‘I installed a spyware on your computer and caught you masturbating to goat porn’ scam emails that go around.

A mate of mine started chatting to a "girl" online. They got in touch via Facebook and used the video chat function to talk. He ended up beating his meat to what he soon realised was a fake video. It flicked from a stream of said girl undressing to a video of him with his willy in his and then suddenly screen grabs of all his contacts/friends started flashing up. Then switched to a live video of some guy who was demanding 500£/€/$ or he would contact his friends and send them a copy of the video.

Mate was crapping himself. He phoned me at some stupid hour asking what he should do and asking me to swear that I wouldn't tell anyone. Ignore it, I said. Never found whether he paid or not. He never spoke about it again, although I did.

This goat porn stuff, I don’t believe it exists!

I bet nobody has a link so that I could ... um ... check if it’s real for myself.

Dunno but my nigerian Uncle can do you a good deal on the bitcoin you need. Send your bank details and I'll sort it for you.

"dangerous community guys" kind of has a cool robin hood vibe to it, like the A Team working at a food bank.

I just love the assumption that everyone with Internet access has been churning data to create huge stashes of Bitcoin that these assholes can then try to appropriate.
I wouldn’t know where to start, well, actually a search of the internet would produce an answer, but as for creating any meaningful quantities is another story..

It's not realistic for anyone to do this at home anymore. It's been taken over by the big boys now.

However. Did you know I have an Uncle who can sort you out?

She's worried about the fact she didn't realise she was meant to tape over the webcam!
