I’ll show you how fake Webcam Blackmail or Sextortion emails are.

These Scammers understand that we are all human and do human acts, simple as that. However because of these Data Breaches these hackers can obtain your email address and a password that you have used recently or in the past and this can make these Webcam Blackmail or Sextortion emails  very believable for people and makes you more vulnerable to fall victim, freak out and pay up the money to the scammers, which in reality they never really had any of that content.

Additional Tips About Phishing Emails

Some common tip-offs that an email is phony are typos, grammatical mistakes, awkward language, missing words, extra spaces, and other signs that the email was written unprofessionally.
