Demands USD$600 or will release hacked webcam video - scam

Claimed to have hacked accounts and have videos, wanted £450

Received an email originating from a Shanghai, China IP Address. Sender alleges that to have hacked my account with spoofing my own email address into the From: field as irrefutable, infallible proof. Inconceivable! Goes on to insinuate that they have installed malware and gained control over my webcam to record scandalous sessions of me getting my Adult privileges on. Surprisingly, not judgmental over my choice of poison. But still threatens to release spicy footage to my 6 contacts if I dont fork over $550 in bitcoins to this wallet. Wonder what the extra $50 is for...

SEXTROTION a new modern word for extortion and used to blackmail you. Its a con, and they are basically trying to make you feel vulnerable... Rise above it, dont bother responding to it, because they probably made your email look like it was sent by yourself. By responding to it, you will probably either receive it back into your inbox, or it will go to an address of no known recorded email address, but if you ignore it, it should then go absolutely nowhere...!

Typical sextortion scam email received on one of our company inboxes.
