Fake CIA Sextortion Scam
The latest version of these horrific porn related Sextortion, blackmail scams has changed slightly and pretends to be a message from a CIA employee who is part of the task force on paedophilia. There are multiple different senders and all the case numbers are different in each example received.
It states you are on the list to be investigated and are about to be arrested on 8th April 2019. However if you pay her $10,000 by bitcoin, before 27th March 2019, she will remove all your details from the database.
Of course this is a total fabrication. And just yet another slightly more inventive version of the Sextortion, blackmail scams we have been seeing for ages. All the attachments to the email just contain different copies of the CIA logo displayed at the bottom of the email
Every email that I have seen or been told about has a different individual bitcoin address. Whereas several emails have come from the same address.
Just ignore it & delete it.

What To Do When You Receive A Blackmail, Sextortion Scam Email
If you do receive any email like this, Don’t panic, Do not respond to it, contact the appropriate police /fraud authority in your country, follow the advice on their site to report this crime and then delete the email from your computer.
- In UK use Action Fraud
- If you are in USA then use the FBI IC3 report site.
- In Australia use ScamWatch
- Anywhere in EU see europol for country contacts
- In Switzerland use https://stop-sextortion.ch/en/index.html
- Most other countries worldwide will have a similar method of reporting these sextortion, blackmail, scam attempts.
- You can also report the bitcoin wallet number to the Bitcoin abuse system. This list is used by law enforcement and researchers to monitor transactions and hopefully catch the criminals when they slip up & spend the money or move the money to a bank account etc.
From a very quick domain search it looks like all these domains have had numerous subdomains and then email addresses on the subdomains created and used in this scam, There are probably other variations of these free domains that I haven’t yet found.
