    Hi

    I’ve got the same email that Susie Petersen and a couple of other girls got. The password in the email was one I used years ago - but not since then.
    I sent a couple of the letters to the FBI. I’m sure they’re busy tracking down the evildoer right now;-)
    Otherwise ... ignored it
    Nothing bad has happened ...

    I think that they got userids and passwords from a couple of the big “password file breaches” that have been publicized recently.

    You say your computer has been hacked, but don't say that the hacker has taken control or has locked you out as can happen with a virus.

    Personally I would ignore it, I received a threat a few weeks ago, but it came in on a business email address that is visible on-line on a government site for legal reasons. I get lots of spam from businesses in China through that address.

    They asked for an amount in bitcoins or would send a video of me masturbating whilst visiting a teen porn site. This had never happened so I ignored the threat. In your case they have possibly picked on another, what they considered to be "shameful", activity which happened to be on target.
    Rachel,

    As a crossdresser my personality has several facets. Therefore, I suppose I can be forgiven for being facetious.

    If they specifically mentioned activities that are unique to you then this is beyond malware, phishing and routine hacking, it's blackmail. If these are things you would not like to explain to law enforcement they ignore the threat and do not send any money or any further response. On the other hand, if you are out about this stuff, reporting it to someone like the FBI or your state attorney general's office might save someone from being a victim in the future.

    This site will tell you if your email addy has been compromised in a data breach - https://haveibeenpwned.com

    For one of my "throw away" gmail accounts, it tells me, both Dropbox and Ticketfly were hacked, which I knew. I didn't know it was also compromised by a spambot by the name of "Onliner Spambot". Well worth a look, and regularly change your passwords!

    This is a well-known phishing scam. No one has hacked your computer, it's all a lie. This e-mail is sent randomly to thousands of people in the hope that some of them will actually send the money. Ignore the whole thing.

    Having lost several friends to the grim reaper over the past few years, I don't need to just gamble on losing the rest because of some misplaced insistence that they approve of crossdressing. It's not the only thing that I am, and I don't think it wise to risk everything else just to be able to say I'm absolutely truthful and out about everything all of the time.
    No one tells everyone everything. We choose what to tell, depending on their need to know it. No one NEEDS to know that I crossdress, and I'm sure a lot wouldn't want to know. Some prefer blissful ignorance of certain things that don't affect them adversely, than knowing the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Just as I don't need to know if someone has a lot of ear (and other unmentionable parts of their body) hair, they don't need to know that I crossdress.
    Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
    There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
    Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.

    If this was not a Windows popup, but an email, ignore it. As others have stated, it's been going around for a while without the crossdressing.

    They probably included a password of yours in the subject heading, or near the top of the email to "prove" they had accessed your PC. They haven't.

    What happened is a site, that you went to, was hacked. I have many different passwords, and used one password on one site only. That was how I received this email. The site that was hacked has not been around for several years.

    Here's some more information on these kinds of scams:

    Lexi,

    I am not advocating that we go out on a rant and tell everyone about our private life. But I think that it is important to consider that if we DO get outed, we should try to not lt that be the end of the world. If we are outed, rather than lie and attempt to deny (probably unsuccessfully) that portion of it,we should try to keep it in perspective. And while there can be fallout, if your loved ones really love you, it should not be insurmountable. There are so many far worse things than crossdressing.

    I think we are sometimes so self critical and overly worried about being outed, that we sometimes make rash decisions. That is the Hallmark off these scammers. To get people so worried they react before thinking it through.

    I will second the suggestion to try the Malwarebytes app to remove any potential malware on your computer. If it was solely email, a simple phishing scam is likely. If there were Windows pop-ups, malware is likely. In either case, it is unlikely they can access anything actually harmful. Ignore the demands.

    Excellent points, Meghan. Take a breath, calm down and do some analysis. If you need help with that, get it. Regardless of the scenario, the best response will not come from panic. And in that worst case, where you are outed, treating it like it is no big deal. Maybe it is, but presenting an unashamed response can go a long way.

    If it is just in an email, ignore it. People get these all the time, usually threatening to out them for visiting adult sites or viewing child porn or whatever. It is a phishing scam, figuring their threat applies to some of the millions of people who will receive it and be dumb enough to believe and pay it. Only takes a few people out of of millions and millions to make it worthwhile to them.

    Many of us NOT ALL have two different lives. We have our male life and our femme life. Two different people. So why not have two different devices? You don't share emails between the accounts you don't log on to your femme account from your male device and visa versa. I got hacked on a old Android device on my femme account through a Factory installed App and got outed to some of my contacts. BFD !!!! They already knew. I told the jokers have fun your not getting squat from me. It worked for me and might give some others some peace of mind.

    I had this in my supposedly secure and encrypted email server. They asked for bitcoin! I deleted them.
