Blackmail/Extortion

TinMan's Avatar
I didn’t get one. I check my junk mail box frequently, and nothing in it.

Unless we get a lot more reports like this, my money is on some broke-ass chick or her pimp scouring all her old emails for P411 IDs they can try to scam.

I got one. Ignoring it.
It has to be a P411 issue.

I should add that I never give out my 411 ID to anyone. Also, the email came to an account that I only use for P411 and literally nothing else.
Just shows that it might be better to stick to ECCIE only and avoid P411 because you don't have to divulge real world info to become an ECCIE member, unlike P411. Anytime you give your real world personal info to a system/website, you always have to worry about your personal info being leaked. Yeah, all the P411 members and P411 providers will tell you that P411 is the best & super safe but you still never know for sure. In the end, if your personal info that you provided to a website ends up being leaked or used against you by a blackmailer...well then you're fucked.

For example, I read in the news today that the adult website Luscious leaked the personal data of 1.2 million members because of an user authentication issue. The infamous AshleyMadison website leak also comes to mind.
Appreciate all of the comments and support. I was never going to pay these ass clowns and felt pretty sure it was bullshit but good to know others confirmed it was shit. I appreciate the eccie community now more than ever. Thanks all.

Got it last week and posted about in the sandbox. I'm not overly active these days so thought was pretty odd. The only thing I did recently was send a invite from 411 so my assumption was regex type script pulling the pieces of that message to populate the shake down form.
When you done P411, Indy’s web site, screening, someone can eventually link dots and get to your personal info.
I know for sure that some ladies websites can track or phishing your info when you fill out info through her website.

Back track things and figure out.
Change all passwords.
Cover your ass and have a plan.
Don’t pay because my guess is that if you pay, they will want more.
Once all done, stop worry about it.
Good Luck

I received the same basic email, but I did not respond, just deleted it. I figured that it was another feeble attempt of one of my haters that wanted to out me, but that particular time, to send him money. Little does that person know, I have been outed so many times with no consequences of it effecting me in the least, that it ceases to be fun anymore for my haters. Besides, I have no SO, all my friends know I hobby and I have no family in town. Obviously, outing is against the site guidelines, but, speaking of no consequences, that does not seem to matter to the Eccie staff.

Same email was sent to me nearly 2 weeks ago. Yes , it can freaked me out , but then again , that’s what it was intended to do . I left it alone and chalked it up to pimp terrorism ....

Who was the email from? Did all these go out around the same time (two weeks ago), or are they slowly working their way down some list?

I’m starting to feel left out, but maybe they haven’t gotten to me yet.

What people have to realize is that policing people's private correspondence is not something that seems right to most members.

I find it odd and somewhat amusing some of the conspiracy theories out there that stem from ignorance.
