I received an e-mail from my own e-mail address telling me to pay $660 in bitcoins. Supposedly he/she has stolen my data and all my devices are infected and the like.

injected my code to all the devices which you had opened your mailbox on. And I started to monitor the activity on your devices. My first idea was to block and encrypt your files. Than I would ask for a small fee to release them back. But than one day, You visited some dirty websites. You know what I mean naughty thing. And I silently activated your front camera and recorded You. Yes! You were playing with yourself. What a funny video.
