        Now you are marked as outlier as well, and a very long list of you outliers is required in order to unmark all of you. :)

          my camera is disconnected, deep in a box of other 'miscellaneous' items (i.e. RS-232 cables etc). It's not wireless, battery powered nor X-ray capable, yet the scammers can still claim to have recorded me with it. I WANT THAT SOFTWARE!!! anyone have recommendations for the best one - pref freeware. (yes, I wanna record myself doing strange shit too)

            That reminds me, I recently got an email telling me to send bitcoins because they recorded me doing naughty stuff and they'd send it to all my contacts. Of course I'm smarter than to send them bitcoins. I send a naughty video of myself to all my contacts instead, that hacker got nothing on me! :D Seriously though, I had a chuckle over that one :laugh:

              before you send your naughty self-vids to your contacts consider do your contacts really want to see you doing strange stuff? ask them to send you bitcoins to NOT send it to them. ... and to prove it's not a scam perhaps attach some thumbnail / edited preview clips. Edit: ... those contacts that do want to see it: ask them for bitcoins to get the unedited version. Either way you get bitcoins. Retirement plan complete.

                Come on! For a software that can record you without any camera you should pay something!

                        I always use the silver write protection stickers for 5 1/4 inch floppies for that.

                              Got the same email too. The password is from a site I haven't used in the last 15 years and I have had no webcam in the last 10 years. But I can imagine a bunch of people will be scared to death if they receive such an email and I know a couple of them

                              M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                                  Unfortunately a lot off people fall for it ... I'm the same as you, at home desktop with no camera attached (or mic). My work laptop has one but that is disabled in control panel and I doubt that video off me programming is going to freak anyone out... (and I never take my work laptop home so ...) I haven't received such email tho, I never get the scam phone calls either. Starting to feel left out :sigh: ;P

                                    I had a similar email a while back. Apparently they had hijacked my passwords and had been watching me via my laptop's camera. Unfortunately my laptop hasn't got a camera. Nice try :laugh:

                                        Believe me, my dear friend - if you would turn on my camera I would notice it! You probably would have some special prize and the ability to make a lot of money... Maybe an unexpected career in the military intelligence... A person who able to turn on a non-existent hardware has no limit to what to go for...

                                        But you didn't, and I've already lost eight dollars on pornhub because of people demanding their money back plus damages!

                                          My phone and Surface have black tape on the cameras, and those are the only ones I have.
