Hello, my perverted friend.

I've come to wank with you again.

I had a terrible flashback of Reddit where everyone would make the same reply over and over and over

You pos

Edit: I don’t mean it, I love you

[–] Vedlt@lemmy.world 69 points 2 years ago

I think if they have videos of me jerking off they owe me money, not the other way around. That's how onlyfans works right?

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago

My likeness is owned by PornHub and our legal team will be in touch.

Please remain where you are.

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago

I work as a sysadmin and had a user in my building call us about one of these emails. I didn't say it out loud but, if it wasn't true, why would he even feel the need to ask if it was real or possible?

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

Probably doesn’t need saying, but no matter how tempting- NEVER reply. That just gets you put on an even better spam list.

[–] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Earlier they used breached passwords associated with the email address to try to add some credibility. They don't bother now. Just another scam meme to join the rest for eternity.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can confirm they do still bother; I received an email doing this earlier this week.

[–] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Ok, I stand corrected. I think the original scam is just outnumbered now.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

You got video of me jerking off for free!? I charge extra just for getting to look at it. Bitch you owe me money, not the other way around!

What op should say to them

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 11 points 2 years ago

The first rule of blackmail: supply proof. Not hints or riddles; proof. If they don't attach pictures (or a severed thumb, whatever) it's nonsense.

From the spammers' perspective, though, they sent millions of emails like this at basically zero cost; my catch-all mailbox for five domains gets about a dozen a day. If one moron pays up it's work it to them.

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Damn. 5 Times a Day? Aren't you getting sore or anything?

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I’ve gotten that same one a couple of times, even giving me an old password for my email to try to make it look legitimate. Only problem is they always say they got me on my webcam, and I don’t have a webcam to catch me on 🤷‍♂️

[–] pacoboyd@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can appreciate that the plot twist wasn't: "I don't jerk off"

[–] THEDAEMON@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Man asexuals will blow your mind

[–] pacoboyd@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, just meant my man definitely own up to jerking it, just not around webcams.

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Who even has their webcam pointed that low?

[–] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Threaten them with a copyright strike...

[–] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Have they learned nothing from that plagiarism video?

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Invest some time in transferring to a new email address but also an email alias service. That way you never give out your new email address to anyone and give each site/service you use its own alias.

[–] DreadPirateShawn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Often a low-effort alternative to this is to use the "plus addressing" trick: username+whateveryoulike@domain.tld

The example above routes to username@domain.tld, but you can track and filter on the extra tag portion.

Granted, it doesn't have universal support, but it's somewhat widespread at least.

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This works but has a number of downsides.

Eg hackers just have to remove the +portion to have your email address. You also can't send emails out via any of those addresses.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

No, I get it. They'll need expensive therapy after watching that.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That's cool, I mean, I guess people might pay you to stop showing a video of me jerking off to them, that's probably horrifying for other people to see.

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

It sure would be awkward, but I don't think I would even be concerned enough about a video like that. It wouldn't even show the thing I'd be watching.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love spammers who try to shame me into paying them. Good luck trying to kink shame a furry who's given up hiding it. You try doing that and I'll show you the kinda porn that makes me uncomfortable.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm laughing as I type this but I am in fact scared to even imagine what could.

But furry porn is a thing? Really? Outside manga and that sort of medium? That sounds hilarious to watch!

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You mean live action stuff? Yeah, it exists. I was referring to drawn stuff though. Some kinks are pretty out there, and art lets you express them in a way that'd be impossible under all known laws of physics (yes, it can get pretty funny, it can also get pretty horrifying).

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I'll mention this and this alone: Dolcett. Gave me nightmares.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah this is an old ones I've seen it evolve over the years. I always read it out to my partner so we can laugh.

I also never click links I emails, but this has been going on long enough that they must make bank off of morons who are doing things they are afraid of others to know about, and I bet some pay each time they get this.

I would be out about 14k USD by now if I were paying.

[–] dipshit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

You think people would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

[–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 3 points 2 years ago

Plot Twist: They downloaded WebCam

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

These days if I felt inclined to respond I’d just tell the scammer that somebody already created deepfake AI porn of me so nothing they could possibly have to release would bother me…

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

they gotta pay me licening fees to depict my awestriking appendage's likeness. Imma copyright strike them and their moms

[–] TedJ70@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

You don't have any webcams, that you know of.

[–] Slartibartfass@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Hope they add some kind of filtering mechanism im K9 soon
