Fake YouPorn extortion scam threatens to leak your sex tape (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

13 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Summary

A new sextortion scam is circulating, impersonating YouPorn. Victims receive an email claiming that a sexually explicit video of them has been uploaded to the site and must pay to have it removed. In the past, similar scams threatened to share explicit content with contacts unless a ransom was paid, generating substantial profits. This recent scam claims to be from YouPorn, offering a free removal link that leads to nothing and lists paid options ranging from $199 to $1,399. Victims are urged to pay via Bitcoin. Thankfully, this campaign has not been successful, but it's important to remember that these emails are scams. If you receive such an email, delete it; there is no actual video, and making payments is not advisable.

I appreciate OPs optimism that anyone here has had sex OR made a sex tape.

Oh, come on, practically all the males have sex with their sometime lonely selves, and cameras are everywhere now. I'd personally put a privacy shutter on my webcam.

This comes as a surprise to me. I didn't know I had a sex tape.

Thank God it's a scam, the email had such intricate details I could have sworn they were watching

I got hit with a variation of this scam years ago. It was a threat of leaking a video of me jerking it recorded via my webcam and sending it to my family/friends. They wanted $100-200. Responded with OK, just send me the link when you post it. I didn't even own a webcam back then.
