I hope this finds you well, NULL. John Lastname. If this email isn't the best way to contact you, maybe XXX-XXX-3681 is?

You do not know who I am, but I know all about you. You may have heard of Pegasus? If not, let me fill you in: I have access to your phone, PC, and every smart device in your house at 123 Fake Street. I have your Facebook, your LinkedIn, and even your phone contacts. While you thought you were alone, I saw every disgusting, illegal thing you were searching. I have recordings of you side by side with the interesting videos you were watching.

Don't get me wrong, John. I'm not a monster. I know what they will do to people like you in prison, and I'm willing to offer you a sliver of hope. Send me $2000 USD in bitcoin to { btcWallet %} within the next 48 hours and I will make sure nobody else finds out about your guilty little habit. If you cooperate, I will run my program that guarantees every last video of you is shredded. If you don't, well, let's just say that you won't ever get this opportunity again. You know what they say about things on the internet: once it's up, it's never coming down.

And John, don't think you can pretend this will go away. I embedded a tracker in this email. I know when you received it. I know when you opened it. Remember: 48 hours. What happens next is your choice alone.
