Just a heads up. The clip site Mall of Erotica where we release our videos received an email late last night claiming to be from the Central Intelligence Agency and that they had found evidence of child pornography on their site, and that in order to avoid prosecution they are ordered to pay the agency a fine using, of all things, Bitcoin. They even went as far as to include an official CIA seal in the message. Now, if you have received such an email then I'm assuming that none of you would be naive enough to fall for such a horrible scam. But in case you're having doubts and suddenly find yourself in a panic after reading their message, trust me when I say, DO NOT FALL FOR IT! First of all, the CIA does not handle such crimes. That responsibility belongs to the FBI, and they won't email you asking for a fine using gift cards or Bitcoin. They would simply bust your door down, arrest you and confiscate all of your electronic devices and such. The guy running Mall of Erotica knew better because, for starters, he's based in Canada. Not to mention he's got no illegal content on his site. So if any of you have received such an email then the best course of action is to report it to the FBI.

I recieved a message on another site claiming that they had hacked my email and social media accounts. THey threatened to send the information that I go on an adult site to all my friends and family unless I sent them several hundred dollars.

Well I just checked and it was payment via bitcoin. They also threatened to send my details to local law enforcement. However they were supposed to have done this 2 days ago but I haventt heard anything yet.

Nor will you ever hear from them, unless of course you broke the law, in which case you will not be notified. They'll simply come get you. If you're unfamiliar with the IRS scams coming from India, they're very similar in that they threaten to come arrest you due to back taxes you owe, then demand that you pay the amount owed using a prepaid gift card. And people actually fall for it! There are hilarious videos on YouTube of people pranking these scumbags on the phone.
