A new variant of the ongoing sextortion email scams is now targeting spouses, saying that their husband or wife is cheating on them, with links to the alleged proof.
In sextortion emails, scammers pretend to have hacked your computer to steal images or videos of you performing sexual acts and demand that you send a payment of $500 to $5,000 not to have them sent to family and friends.
While you may think that no one would fall for these scams, they were very profitable when they first appeared in 2018, generating over $50,000 in a week.
