A few years ago I went on a stag do, and ended up sitting on a the plane next to someone who I had never met and it turned out they worked for the NCA and we got chatting, he was very evasive about what he did but in the end it turned out he worked on these types of emails and he said you would be amazed the people that had fallen for them, he mentioned (no names obv) that’s there had been doctors, judges, policemen and teachers and the like
It all revolves around greed

Tried to do that by forwarding the email, with an explanation from myself, to their email address and got the following mail rejection message....Originally Posted by burnside
Well, of course it contained spam, that's why I was advising them about it........550 Message contained spam content (antispamcloud.spam.genfrmd06)
Tried phoning, gave up after listening to the same message for fifteen minutes!
I guess they're not really bothered about tackling this sort of thing.

Welcome to todays police force - had it been................................you would no doubt have four cars an 8 burly millenioids round accusing you of allsorts.

Gents, do you seriously believe the Police have the time or resources to get involved in this kind of thing?
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
No, I agree; their priorities are elsewhere .

I disagree having a friend who works on cyber crime it’s quite the hot topic, but each to their own

If they have time for this:
"... we also want to know about non-crime hate incidents." [my emphasis]
https://www.southyorks.police.uk/fin...ce/hate-crime/
then, yes, they do have time.
Is it Arthur? It's Arthur isn't it?
LOL
I got one of those mails telling me they took over my notebook's internal camera and they recorded me surfing pornografic websites and relieving myself. If I didn't pay up within a week they would put the recording on all the social media I'm active on.
Well, I'm not active on social media and the camera has been covered by a piece of tape for years now.
They are just trying with everybody and probably get something out of it every now and then.
And BTW, I wish they did, a new John Holmes would have been born..........
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
This is like when the bottom inspector knocked on my door and I gave him £20.
I should have known he was a phoney because it was a different chap to last time........
I feel so foolish.
Ahem!,,,They can't even look after their own ::
Criminal investigation launched into cyberattack that deleted and encrypted Police Federation data

National Crime Agency leading inquiry after malware assault
A criminal investigation has been launched after the headquarters of the Police Federation of England and Wales suffered a malware attack that deleted and encrypted portions of its backup data.
The attack, which took place on 9 March, affected “a number of databases and servers”. It disabled email services and rendered files inaccessible.
There is currently no evidence to suggest any data was “extracted or misused”. There is a low risk of any such activity being discovered, although the possibility cannot be discounted, according the federation.
“All indications are that the malware did not spread any further than the systems based at Federation House, the organisation’s Surrey headquarters, with none of the 43 branches being directly affected,” PFEW added.
The cyber breach – which the federation does not currently believe was targeted specifically at the organisation but, rather, was part of a wider assault – was discovered via internal security systems at 7pm on the day in question.
“We isolated the infection and took some services offline in order to minimise spread,” PFEW said. “We immediately instructed a leading forensics firm, BAE Systems, to assist with the response.”
The day after the attack, the incident was reported to the National Cyber Security Centre and the National Crime Agency – which is now leading the criminal investigation. The Information Commissioner’s Office was alerted to the breach on Monday 11 March.
PFEW, which is the statutory staff association for police constables, sergeants, inspectors, and chief inspectors across England and Wales, represents around 120,000 officers. It claimed that “various categories of individuals… including our members” were affected by the breach. Anyone impacted will be personally contacted presently, PFEW said.
PFEW national chair John Apter said: “We are deeply sorry that this has happened. The Police Federation takes data security very seriously and responded immediately on becoming alerted to this incident. Our priority has been to mitigate the damage caused by the attack and to protect the personal data of our members and others whose data we hold.”
The federation has set up a dedicated website bringing together its statement on the attack and the answers to a list of questions. At 12pm today it also launched a helpline – the number for which is 0800 358 0714 – to provide advice for anyone who has concerns.
Fortunately no BTC was sent to that address.

One of my relatives is a paramedic and attended a suicide where a welsh farmer who received one of these emails perceived no other way out than to kill himself. The police investigated and he was completely clean but did not understand that the people behind these emails are simply chancers. Unfortunately not everybody is as computer and Internet savvy as the bulk of people here
