And presumably, should you call the number you'll be asked for your bank account details.
What did slightly amuse me was the email address - charlottemolly. Charlotte is a female version of "Charlie" (a name used to refer to cocaine), and Molly is a reference to MDMA a.k.a. Ecstacy.

Personally I was more amused to be on the 'Bcc' list as if the relevant department didn't want to let it know to other parts of the company they even informed me of the possibility of a refund.
Not that it really matters. Just a stupid phishing attempt some will no doubt fall for.

I guess my stroke of good luck made some jealous, some one is trying to cash in BTW my notebook has a "Camera privacy cover" which you can manually slide to cover the camera (default setting of course). "Hello! Have you recently noticed that I have e-mailed you from your account? Yes, this simply means that I have total access to your device. For the last couple of months, I have been watching you. Still wondering how is that possible? Well, you have been infected with malware originating from an adult website that you visited. You may not be familiar with this, but I will try explaining it to you. With help of the Trojan Virus, I have complete access to a PC or any other device. This simply means I can see you at any time I wish to on your screen by simply turning on your camera and microphone, without you even noticing it. In addition, I have also got access to your contacts list and all your correspondence. You may be asking yourself, "But my PC has an active antivirus, how is this even possible? Why didn't I receive any notification?" Well, the answer is simple: my malware uses drivers, where I update the signatures every four hours, making it undetectable, and hence keeping your antivirus silent. I have a video of you <intereferingwithyourself> on the left screen, and on the right screen - the video you were watching while masturbating. Wondering how bad could this get? With just a single click of my mouse, this video can be sent to all your social networks, and e-mail contacts. I can also share access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use. All you have to do to prevent this from happening is - transfer bitcoins worth $1450 (USD) to my Bitcoin address (if you have no idea how to do this, you can open your browser and simply search: "Buy Bitcoin"). My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1D8qdtNLNbvugZyMYUyhzcGiCdFinxHgtH After receiving a confirmation of your payment, I will delete the video right away, and that's it, you will never hear from me again. You have 2 days (48 hours) to complete this transaction. Once you open this e-mail, I will receive a notification, and my timer will start ticking. Any attempt to file a complaint will not result in anything, since this e-mail cannot be traced back, same as my bitcoin id. I have been working on this for a very long time by now; I do not give any chance for a mistake. If, by any chance I find out that you have shared this message with anybody else, I will broadcast your video as mentioned above." Why can't it be me? I'd make a great internet porn star.

^^^ Just remember that the correct answer to "SEX................." is not "Yes, please!". And what a meanie for removing Bernard's email so we can't all benefit. Yes we could all respond with a name and address for Ronnie Mac Pickering.

I did a quick check on 'scottish pornstars' and came up with Katelyn. That's not you then? "Next up is Katelyn Findlay, one of Scotland’s best transsexual pornstars. After rocky beginnings and a spell in prison, Katelyn turned her life around and kicked off a career in hardcore shemale porn. With tantalizing dark eyes, a body to die for, and a shemale ass that can take a relentless pounding, this former trans escort has become one of the most up-and-coming names in the transgender porn scene. With lots of piercings, tattoos and a Goth vibe going on, Findlay is a Scottish trans pornstar you don’t want to miss if you love to see Alt babes being <censored>"

With the offer of a re-fund for a Mcafee subscription I guess the next was to be expected. Allegedly from "Mcafee Support" support@ybpcj.onmicrosoft.com A last reminder "Last Reminder : Your Antivirus Expires Today!" Click on it and there's a link to wicketblue.info, actually there are four different paths on that server but all going to the same .md file

Oldie "thank you. They won't let me withdraw all my money"
Indian "from the national broadband network?"
Oldie "no, from the National Bank of Nigeria. I need to get it all out before the police catch me"

Maybe I'm getting spam meant for some members here "The 1 Joint Pain Myth! From bone on bone! full on cartilage New Knees and Hips" I will once again ignore the ageist inference, is bone on bone intended to be raunchy.? I would think it possible that some are more used to blubber on blubber.

I guess it's time for the usual but different location. Allegedly from a woman in military barracks in Herat city in Afghanistan. With US$ 3 million in a bank in Israel. Nice twist that I must admit.
Interesting is the claim "your email contact from (PDF)". No further details on what PDF. Furthermore the wish to come to 'my country' with her daughter. Wonder which country that is, apart from minor details like formal paperwork. Lastly the email address given and to be used for reply is the same. Mostly they are different ( Ferhana Rahim <ferhana378259@gmail.com> )
"Greetings Sir,
My name is Mrs. Ferhana Rahim, I am a widow from Afghanistan. The Taliban killed my husband on May 20 2022. I am in military barracks in Herat city in Afghanistan as I write this letter to you. I have a fund in the amount of ($3,000,000 USD) in words Three million United State Dollars in a bank in Israel. As a matter of urgency. I am contacting you to help me and transfer my funds to your country and also help me and my daughter move to your country to start a new life there.
I got your email contact from (PDF) when I was looking for some information and I was fortunate to get your email contact, actually I have plans to move to a foreign country where it will be safer for me and my only daughter. Since the Taliban leadership took over the country, we have had no peace. I am the victim of their brutal leadership. They killed my husband.
I will give you 30% of the fund as your compensation after the successful transfer and you will also help me to start a good business in your country with the remaining fund after you take your 30%. See, there is no risk associated with this fund, this is the money that my late husband and I made from our real estate investments and oil rig equipment. I will give you all the necessary information after reading your answer.
Best Regards, Mrs. Ferhana Rahim"

^^^ I like the way she says "your country" three times. Anyone might think she doesn't actually know which country you're in, even though she wants to "move to your country". I'd be tempted to reply including that "my country" is Iran (or possibly Iraq), and that I'd be glad to welcome her there.
