They have hacked my email. They have my password to some website I visited. They installed malware and screen shots from adult content websites I supposedly visited that they will send to my contacts. They typically do ransomware but graciously decided to just have me pay varying amounts from $603 to $953. I have 48 hours or else.

Sent this from my own email adress to me several times (ehm, but actually nothing happened after I didnt do anything) Hello! As you may have noticed, I sent you an email from your account. This means that I have full access to your account. Ive been watching you for a few months now. The fact is that you were infected with malware through an adult site that you visited. If you are not familiar with this, I will explain. Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device. This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it. I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence. Why your antivirus did not detect malware? Answer: My malware uses the driver, I update its signatures every 4 hours so that your antivirus is silent. ....

Same old blackmail scam requesting monies for hacking into my account using a very old password and placing malware on computer. Claims has compromising information which will disseminate to my contacts.

Person needs to provide contact info (not a spoofed email address) so I can tell them to prove they have an incriminating video and release it already. put up or shut up.

This is obviously the biggest nonsense, paying with Bitcoin is anonymous so the scammer cannot know who the money came from (there is no sender). The story as described in the mail is therefore incorrect and is not based on truths. made a video showing how you satisfy yourself in the left half of the screen, and in the right half you see the video that you watched. With one click of the mouse, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on social networks.
