The Sûreté du Québec wishes to warn citizens of a fraud scheme which consists of sending an extortion letter via email containing the full name, telephone number, home address as well as a screenshot of the address taken from an online mapping service.
The authors of the email claim that the targeted person has visited explicit websites and threaten to send a video to their contact list unless they are paid in cryptocurrency.
A QR code is usually sent to facilitate payment in Bitcoin.
Scammers use fear and urgency to manipulate victims into making a hasty decision.
To gain access to information, fraudsters use information that is publicly available, particularly on social networks.
Here are some SQ prevention tips:
– Be careful about sharing details online and limit what you post on social media
– Don’t rush into decisions. Carefully evaluate the situation, ignore the email and do not make any payment.
– Consider reporting the scam to local authorities or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
