Basic email scammer using a computer in Lebanon to send spoofed email
description
Typical Blackmailer/Sextortion, like the previous 99 reports claim. Scammer likely doesn't actually have any info on you, is just trying to make money. Sadly, someone paid. 100+ reports in less than a week since the wallet first went live shows that the scammer is using a "shotgun" technique hoping someone will pay.
My email came from a computer (IP address 185.104.255.82) that seems to be located in Lebanon, according to the whois database.
If someone was interested in making a few bucks off of an international scammer, they could start monitoring the computer attached to that IP and then trace back to the scammer, steal the scammer's bitcoin wallet and cash out. An experienced cracker could likely make a g or 2 within a few days work.
