Hahahahahaha..
Some cheap Google Translate English from a bunch of (most likely) smelly Nigerian or Eastern European scammers.

Sad..

Wouldn't even respond to them!

So they want 2118.17 in CAD from you...Pure blackmailing scam..

thats not the part that is worrisome...i exclusively use this email address and name for casinos....that part worries me....how did they get my email and name....steviedoo

wow 2 bitcoin is the equivalent to $2118?

One of your casinos that you signed up has probably sold your information to 3rd party service providers, they handed it to the next etc etc until it lands somewhere in the hands of some crooks who try to scam you.

And what a surprise that it is Bitcoin they want, non-traceable and perfect for these kind of things.

Did you google the email address where it came from? If not, post it here and i can do a reverse trace for you. At least you know then from where it is coming from.

EDIT: if you post the email please do it in plain text without the use of the "at"sign. makes sure nobody is led to CM when searching for it.

Surprised that it wasn't some Nigerian rich relative who has sadly passed away leaving a fortune for you.
This fortune would naturally be transferred to you if you pay some BS fees worth of 2BTC!

Nothing to worry about with this one, just a crappy scam.

Personally I would print out email with full headers and report to the authorities. Blackmail is blackmail whether by mail or email.

Also, you might want to consider contacting the security department of the casinos where you use that name and email addy. They might have or had a wicked employee feeding customer info to outside sources or using it themselves. Reps here might be more willing to give you the time of day. (Allow time for a response due to holidays.) Just a thought.

Good luck.

The point is I do not give out this email address to anyone other than the casinos I have signed up to. Just wondering what they do with all my other info

I suggest you pay them 1 satoshi (0.00000001 BTC, roughly 0.0000079 $) + transaction fee, roughly 0.15$ (so transaction gets confirmed quicker and doesn't get stuck forever in blockchain).

You can add a short text message to the transaction.

Just be aware, that before sending love to his family and children <3 <3, the blockchain is an open public ledger.

The blackmailer use bitcoin mixers to withdraw to safer accounts before converting to rubles, shekels, whatever. Technically traceable, but requires huge resources. If he's not as dumb as fuck, he hid his ass to send that e-mail. So, risks nothing. But report it anyway.

Casinos or third parties, what's the difference. It's casinos 100%.

That sucks that one of the casinos you play at sold your stuff. I bet youre a member of alot of casinos so probably hard to figure it out or even report it to them?

Im sure you heard about the CRA scam? Listen to this craziness. So a guy calls my house and I answer and this guy starts telling me I owe money to the CRA blah blah blah. I give the phone over to the better half. He lays into the guy calling him a scammer. And the guy says to him what is your address we will have agents come by. Not even kidding, these guys actually came to houses to scam people. He told them to come to the house if they are brave enough. They hung up.

Fast forward a few months later, we have an older lady as a neighbor and doesnt speak english all too well. Well one of our other neighbors walk by and sees someone talking to her on her porch and can see her arguing with the person. SO the guy goes over. And it was one of these scammers claiming to be CRA demanding money.

A couple things concern me. One their bravery. Two, why they feel they are safe to do this. Do they not fear the police?

...i am signed up at too many...hate feeling like they can sell personal details where you can have identity theft....

CRA already scams most of our money legitimately...lol...but that's pretty scary.

If this had been serious then they would have addressed you with your full name, address and your relatives too. That mean you do not have to worry because they don't have anything else.
Do like Mousey said and report it, also to your email provider. Then block the address.

 

[lotusch]

yep.

and harry_bkk is spot on,some casino must have sold ur details to third party groups.

 

[cj1990]

Excuse me from this thread while I quietly go and make several dozen email addresses and change my details everywhere, cause now i'm more paranoid than I was before......

 

[RichyJ75]

You are not alone - I have been receiving dodgy e-mails of late. Received 3 in the course of two days at the weekend claiming to be paying me sums between $13k and $16k to my Skrill account as part of their affiliate program. Strangely enough, all I had to do was log into Skrill via their link to claim the money!!

Obviously my details have been extracted from a casino somewhere to know about my Skrill account and knowing that I am aware of affiliates, etc. I suppose these types of e-mails are only to be expected considering the amount of spam crap e-mails I constantly receive concerning casinos, bonuses, etc.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Each and every casino lets you agree that, although they will protect your personal data, you allow them to share it with their service providers/other companies in the group etc etc.

There needs to be only one bad apple between them and your data ends up on the "database" market. From there on it is a never ending buying and selling on of your data with no chance to ever find out who is behind it and what they are doing with it.
