The malware gave me full access and control over your system, meaning, I can see everything on your screen, turn on your camera or microphone and you won't even notice about it, yes such things exist, you can Google it! I have also access to all your contacts, I collected everything private from you, pictures, videos, everything! And I MADE A VIDEO SHOWING BOTH YOU (through your webcam) AND THE VIDEO YOU WERE WATCHING (on the screen) WHILE SATISFYING YOURSELF! I can send this video to all your contacts (email, social network) and publish all your private stuff everywhere! You can prevent me from doing this!

| Comment / Review | The "Got you" or the "I hacked you" emails have been around for quite some time. The scammers behind this demand a ransom saying that they got sensitive data from your computer or machine but in reality they don't have any of that, they have nothing. They're trying to manipulate you using fear tactics. They send these emails in bulk hoping for a couple of people to fall for it. Delete the email and don't reply to them or send them anything.

The reviews seem to indicate a recurring pattern of suspicious activities tied to the email quickbooks@notification.intuit.com. Users have reported three primary types of scams. Firstly, emails claiming to have access to sensitive personal data and demanding a ransom in Bitcoin. These messages attempt to exploit fear, and as users have pointed out, they should be disregarded, with no replies or payments made.
Secondly, some users received an email posing as Best Buy's Geek Squad, claiming a security package had been signed up for, with impending bank charges (source : https://www.scamwatcher.com/scam/view/519535). The third scam involved fake invoices purporting to be from Norton~LifeLock Anti-Virus (source : https://www.scamwatcher.com/scam/view/543069) . These invoices demanded payment for subscriptions that users had not subscribed to, often accompanied by a suspicious PDF attachment.
Several telephone numbers were associated with these scams, all from Vermont, USA. The users' comments confirmed these scams, warning others not to provide any banking details and to contact the supposed companies directly via their official websites or contact points. One useful link mentioned in the reviews for secure Bitcoin transactions was www.blockchain.com.
The general consensus among the reviewers was to maintain caution when receiving such emails and to never share personal or financial information in response to these messages.
