- A Reuters report making the rounds today talks about a supposedly popular online scam these days, where someone sends an email threatening to wipe out your hard drive or put child porn on it - but who promise to go away if you pay them a modest fee (usually $20 to $30). The article claims that many people are falling for it, but doesn't give much evidence to back this up. They quote an anonymous "British detective" as their main source for this story. They also admit that reports of the extortion are "tailing off", but say that's only because most people won't report such e-blackmail. While I'm sure that there are people trying this scam, and it's likely that people do fall for it, I do wonder if it's really as big a problem as the article suggests it is. |
