One of the people at the Triad's Better Business Bureau had an email sent to them claiming that they watched inappropriate videos at work. Experts say scammers use that as a tool to force people pay.

"It hits people in that sort of embarrassment part of you too, thinking 'Oh my gosh, what if there is something weird on my computer?' So you get embarrassed to tell your boss or anybody," explained Reedy Mensh with Better Business Bureau of Northwest North Carolina.

The employee did not send any money to the scammers.

The Better Business Bureau says if you get any of these phishing e-mails to think before reacting and call them if you need more help.
