Obviously my memory has gone to Hell. Got an e-mail today informing me my office machine was hacked some months ago, they had logged all my porn site visits for the last 2 months, and via the machine's camera, they had watched/recorded me and one of the office ladies clear the desk and get it on. Had no idea my life was that active, and at my age I'll be proud if it gets out. I'm supposed to hit a link and transfer something like 2,600 Euros to keep it quiet.
I had no idea my 15 year old workstation was equipped with a camera. Need some advice on covering the lens with tape. Would blue suffice?
Just bite the bullet and pay up....
The lawyers fees, impending divorce, losing your job, not to mention the smear of your good name is going to cost you way more than the euros to get out of it.
Main thing is, did you learn a valuable lesson?
Good luck!
Tell them you won't pay a dime unless they send you copies of the porn and the video with your secretary.
Pics or it didn't happen.
My wife got much the same message.
I asked if I could watch next time.
She has no sense of humor, it appears.
Reply back saying that you have plenty more footage if they would like to see it, but it'll cost them 2600 euros
Did it last more than 1minute? 😂😂
I have gotten 2 emails saying they hacked into my account, had pictures of me "pleasuring myself", said they had infected my laptop with malware, and wanted ransom money in bit coins, and included an account number to send it to. I deleted it both times.

Porno so I'd say blue tape is appropriate.
To start out my wife hates phones of any type, her cell is in my name other than me her number has only been given to her sister, her best friend and hair dresser.
This week her cell phone was called by the IRS, I picked up and listened while a young lady in perfect English told me we owed money and a arrest warrant was out for us. I asked who she was calling then asked her why would I send money to a POS scamer. Then I asked her why would she take a job of stealing money from honest hard working folks and told her I would jump off a bridge and kill myself before I sunk that low in life.
Well at that time she lost her perfect English and started screaming to GFY and other words not in English I didn't understand
Blue tape will work just fine, make sure it is blue transparent tape.
Got any pics of this office "Lady" ?
You mean to say your office frowns on such behavior?
Who knew?
I've heard about that type of scam going around but I haven't received any of those outrageous B.S. scams in years. Last time I got one was when I won a couple million in the Nigerian lottery.
I finally stopped getting that India guy from "Windows" when I asked him if his mother was proud of having a criminal son. Lately, it's been "Becky" from some hearing center, using spoofed local numbers. Next time, I may ask her the same thing.
You guys dont have any real problems. Yesterday I got a call saying they were going to suspend my Social Security account and that I would no longer be getting any checks.
Guess I'll have to go back to work.

Lol, looks like I have a kindred spirit! I got a call from "idaho power", stating there was a truck at the house to shut off the power unless I payed up. Thing is, my office is at home, and the bills are auto drafted, and so... I asked him what his Grandmother thought of him being a crook? Were his children proud to tell their friends their father was a liar and a thief? It actually took about five minutes for him to hang up on me.
Stopped getting that particular phone call...
Why waste your time?
I believe my Dad loves to get those phone calls just so he can rant and rave at them for five minutes.
Its a sight to behold and hear. Laughed so hard the last time I heard an exchange I almost choked on my chewing gum.
I “absolutely never” answer my phone unless I know the caller, on caller ID. So I never have to put up with this BS.
But I do get some e mails that never get opened.
Next time you answer an unknown number say “Alright, it’s done but there’s blood everywhere. Tell your a-hole buddy to get over here and clean up this mess.”
Got a text message from a "unknown" that simply said "Text me back".
Never believed in hiding behind voice mail until recently.
But now, if you aren't in my phone directory, it's guaranteed I won't pick up. If you don't leave a message, it's guaranteed I won't call you back.
My boss got this email today he asked me what I thought I said "Have you been sitting in front of your computer jacking off?"
He said "No", I told him to delete the email and not worry about it.
He thought that was pretty funny.
I asked a girl the other day if she had one of those camera phone thingy's, she said you mean a smart phone, I said yes. Then I asked her what she was wearing, she said a dress. I asked her to slide that camera up there and text me a picture of her puzzy . . . . . . . . . .CLICK.
Several years ago one of my coworkers mom got a call about a delinquent pay day loan that she did indeed have, she panicked and gave them her credit card info over the phone and they ripped her off for around $400 if I remember correctly.
