Greetings, crypto lovers!
Few months ago I received few strange emails that were blackmailing me to send a certain amount of BTC to specific address or otherwise "my hacked device recordings of my sexual activities will be sent to all the contacts in my list".
I didn't buy this crap and before deleting these messages, I reported the Bitcoin address to Bitcoinwhoswho.com
That is a service that not only is used to report fishy addresses but also allows you to create a Watch List and it sends notifications for any activity related to the reported addresses.
Funny, all those scammers and bad people forget that everything that happens on the bitcoin blockchain is public and available to everyone to query!
So here is the address from that blackmail message:
1GdegtNpYcvoCPsMmyiSkZARDdAmYuXGXU
Few days ago I received a watch alert that this address has transferred 1.65630906 BTC to this address: 3AQuhnKbNgvAfFkxikcWKVYorL3GZs1gb2
I believe that with a very big certainty we could all tell that obviously this amount is collected from similar blackmailing activities.
Here is the WhosWho link to the target address, I suppose those chaps want to move and "wash" their illegal assets to a "clean" address: https://bitcoinwhoswho.com/address/3AQuhnKbNgvAfFkxikcWKVYorL3GZs1gb2/urlid/0
I really hope this gets to people who could react properly. If you've been blackmailed, don't forget to report all the info to prevent more people from being BS-ed.
Stay safe and strong!

It's needs to be stop. Otherwise this blackmailers can make a disturbance the whole platform as well as ecosystem.
Sir I reblog your post cause I think that everyone has to know about this situation.
Great! Cheers!
Thanks for the heads up @lightcapture they never give up but there is a lot of dummies out there 🤣
Indeed, unfortunately. I think they were demanding for the equivalent of USD 500, so that would be more than 90 persons, considering the average price of BTC around USD 30k.
And regrettable enough they do succeed with people looking for a easy buck.
1.6 BTC? Holly Moley. 50k USD? Who just simply gives up BTC that easily? Interesting. I wonder if Pegasus is in play and they actually had said videos or if they did that transaction just to give the appearance that the scam was real. Probably the latter.
Well, thanks for the interesting information and warning!
We don't know what kind of videos these victims have on their phones. It makes me wonder.
No idea and all valid questions ;)
I hope for the best but suppose the worst in that case :D
Probably just a scam. I remember seeing something like that a year ago in my email. I never clicked on it but I figured if they wanna make me a star...
Cheers :)
