spoofer posing as hacker

Please note the following misleading scam message.  I am posting this, because I suspect others have received the same and this one is a bit insidious

If you're new to scams, please note that just because a person is apparently sending from your e-mail address does not mean that they have actually hacked your account.  They can be spoofing your e-mail address -- which they can do without hacking.

I know they did not hack my account, because this e-mail does not appear in my outbox.

I also know they have not hacked my account, because I have not watched any adult videos.

This account is now hacked! Change the password immediately!
You might not heard about me and you are probably surprised for what reason you are reading this particular letter, right?
I am ahacker who openedyour email boxand all devicesa few months ago.
It will be a time wasting to attempt to contact me or seek for me, in fact it's not possible, considering that I directed you this message from YOUR account that I've hacked.
I've started malware software on the adult videos (porno) website and suppose that you have spent time on this site to have fun (you know what I want to say).
During you were watching these "great" vids, your internet browser started out functioning as a RDP (Remote Control) with a keylogger which granted me access to your monitor and network camera.
Then, my softaquiredall information.
You have entered passwords on the websites you visited, and I intercepted all of them.
Needless to say, you'll be able to change them, or perhaps already changed them.
Even so it does not matter, my program updates information regularly.
What actually did I do?
I got a reserve copy of the device. Of all files and contacts.
I got a dual-screen videofile. The first screen shows the video you had been observing (you have got an interesting taste, ha-ha...), and the 2nd part displays the video from your own camera.
What actually should you do?
Well, in my opinion, 1000 USD will be a realistic amount of money for our small secret. You'll make your deposit by bitcoins (if you do not understand this, try to find “how to purchase bitcoin” in any search engine).
My bitcoin wallet address:
15y9WjrC2pGKvrxZWugeHXZNv1nbDvbNzw
(It is cAsE sensitive, so copy and paste it).
Warning:
You will have only 48 hours to make the payment. (I have an exclusive pixel to this e-mail, and at this point I understand that you've read through this email).
To tracethe reading of a messageand the actionswithin it, I installeda Facebook pixel. Thanks to them. (Everything thatis appliedfor the authorities may helpus.)
If I do not get bitcoins, I will undoubtedly direct your video files to each of your contacts, including relatives, co-workers, etc?

Another thing that can be useful is to get the raw message header for the e-mail message -- if you're reporting the e-mail.  In Outook, you can look for "message details." In Yahoo!  they call it raw message. This was the raw message for this spoof.

Updates for January and first half of February

Recent acting activities
  • "Sleeping Ugly" continued into January. 
  • an indie movie 
  • booked my first reasonably highly paid commercial. 
  • joined a short form improv team called Cherub Improv that does charity shows and workshops in hospitals and nursing homes. 
  • I've been to a few improv mixers as well

I got some new, slightly quirky headshots. Here's a link to those


I also opened an art show in the Borough Park Library in Brooklyn. It's gong to be there until February 28, then move to two other libraries in Brooklyn. If you're interested in my art, here's a link to some pix


I just realized that my single can be streamed on spotify -- duh.  I should have realized this sooner.  Warning: the lyrics are quite sociopathic


I wrote this single back in 2014.  At that time, I was participating in a Villain Contest for Jaguar, based on their 2014 SuperBowl commercial.  Originally, they said I should write a villain song, tho later the rules actually said I only had to name an existing villain song.  I hoped that if I won their villain contest it would make it easier for me to book the kind of villain roles that I dream of booking -- comparable to Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars.

I didn't win the villain contest, but then I realized I could use this song as a piece to use to audition for villain roles in musical theater.  I had a friend arrange it.

I'm working on a music video for the song, which I hope to take to festivals, but that's going slowly, due to SFX issues.  My current fantasy is that the song would be picked up by someone who is writing a musical --to be used for the villain character.  Some people have said they think it sounds like Disney Song. That would be amazing, if Disney bought it.

Penultimate Diversity Jam at UCBeast

The improv community is trying to promote diversity by having diversity jams. I attend from time to time, for age diversity.  There aren't too many active improvisers who have white hair.

Sadly, the theater called UCB East, aka "The Beast," is closing. Apparently, UCB is choosing to concentrate its resources at the Hell's Kitchen location, which I haven't yet visited.  I've done several class shows and jams at The Beast. It's not very convenient for me, coming into NYC on MetroNorth, arriving at GCT, but it's been a major part of the NYC improv scene for a number of years.

The penultimate Diversity Jam at UCBeast was January 27. I was there.  Here are some set photos that include me on stage.

December 2018 updates


I’m going to be in the Christmas Alumni Show of A Sketch of New York December 21, 22, and 23, at the Producer’s Club, 358 w 44th St, NYC.  There are three teams every day.  I’m in the *middle* team, which means 7:45 on the 21st and 22nd and 2:45 on the 23rd. 

These are all *new* scripts — and I wrote one of the sketches in my show.

Agents, casting directors, artistic directors, and anyone with casting authority can get in free by leaving a business card.  If you stay for all three shows, you’ll see a lot of actors, who have been selected from the basic show to reappear.

Also here’s a video of me performing in a concert on the 9th


I also completed Musical Improv 101 at UCB.  I've taken this course at the Magnet, but not at UCB before.  Eric Gerson was great.

I'm going to be having an art show in Brooklyn in January

Movies seen recently:

Spiderman: into the multiverse
Aquaman

Performing with Bronx County Chorus December 2018

Sunday, December 9, 2018, I sang in a concert with the Bronx County Chorus at the First Lutheran Church of Throggs Neck  You'll note that they spell "Throggs" differently from the way the name of the Bridge is spelled. I should find out why.

I got to sing a duet.  Here's the YouTube video












We also did an outreach concert at the Kings Harbor Multicare Center .  This was written up in a local paper in the Bronx here: Bronx Times write up of outreach concert

There was also a writeup of our concert 12/9/18

Bohemian Rhapsody and Me

I saw Bohemian Rhapsody. 

This was analogous to when I first clicked on Michael Jackson's Thriller video shortly after his death, and got totally hooked on him. I had been vaguely aware of Michael Jackson before, but suddenly I was immersed in him. 

I wasn't even vaguely aware of Queen, tho I recognized some of the songs in the movie. 

What was I doing in the late seventies and early eighties. First, I was at Dartmouth. At th that time, there was no TV there. It was too rural to get more than one very fuzzy channel. Cable hasn't really come in yet. 

I decided I liked being free of video material. I felt it was addictive. I didn't watch TV for twenty or thirty years after that. 

I generally hated popular music on the radio. I still do. I usually turn it off fairly quickly. Classics is not a whole lot better. 

I had magazine and newspaper subscriptions, but popular music was a topic I generally avoided. After all, I hated it. 

I sang classical music in choirs, which I enjoyed. Singing was different from listening. 

I went religious services, usually Quaker. I did volunteer work for some groups, including a suicide prevention hotline and some newsletters. 

Then I went to law school, which was pretty all consuming. Then I worked. Then I got married. Then I had kids. 

I was pretty busy. 

YouTube changed things for me. I was unemployed and on the internet reading news when suddenly links to videos came up. My video addiction was triggered. 

Also, suddenly, music I might have heard once or twice on the radio was suddenly available in video form. I could learn the names of the performers and see them perform.  They stopped being anonymous. 

The short videos were even more addictive than TV, actually. 

I heard the name Queen. I heard of Freddie Mercury, but I didn't watch many of his videos. 

The movie changed that. Mostly, because the movie took me back to a time when I lost at least seven friends and acquaintances to AIDS.  It was such a painful time. I was desperately in love with one of those guys, even though he was gay. His death was shattering. 

I read about Freddie online. There was a Quora post saying he caught aids in NYC around 1982, around the same time and place Freddie got it. Maybe one or more of them had sex with him, who knows?

I relocated the AIDS quilt project online. I searched for my friends. Three of them weren't there. Why? Didn't their families make panels for them? These people were hugely important to me. Weren't they important to others? I guess those other people died or were numb wth shock. 

I've got a homework assignment. 


Wow. I've got to make some panels. Why didn't I notice before? Guilt. 

P.S. I bought some materials for one panel Sunday.  Will I get it done?
