Today I was checking spam folder in one of my emails. Not the main one. I use this email address on low importance sign ups where I don't trust that website that much to use my main email. And I found maybe 40 messages send by same person between 12th and 21th of March. Here is full message that I got (removed password and BTC address from it:

Hi, today there are sadly some bad news for you.

Your device was infected with my private malware, your browser wasn't updated / patched, in such case it's enough to just visit some website where my iframe is placed to get automatically infected, if you want to find out more, Google: Drive-by exploit.

My malware gave me full access to all your accounts, full control over your device and it also was possible to spy on you over your cam.

If you think this is some bad joke, no, I know your password: *******

I collected all your private data and I RECORDED YOU (through your cam) SATISFYING YOURSELF!

After that I removed my malware to not leave any traces and this email was sent from some hacked server.

I can publish the video of you and all your private data on the whole web, social networks, over email and send everything to all your contacts.

But you can stop me and only I can help you out in this situation.

The only way to stop me, is to pay exactly 900$ in Bitcoin (BTC).

It's a very good offer, compared to all that horrible shit that will happen if I publish everything.

You can easily buy Bitcoin (BTC) here: www.paxful.com , www.coingate.com , www.coinbase.com , or check for Bitcoin (BTC) ATM near you, or Google for other exchanger.

You can send the Bitcoin (BTC) directly to my wallet, or install the free software: Atomicwallet, or: Exodus wallet, then receive and send to mine.

My Bitcoin (BTC) wallet is: ***************

Yes, that's how the wallet / address looks like, copy and paste it, it's (cAsE-sEnSEtiVE).

I give you 3 days time to pay.

After receiving the payment, I will remove everything and you can life your live in peace like before, don't worry, I keep my promise.

Next time make sure that your device got the newsest security updates.

Usually I don't pay attention to such messages, but there is one interesting moment - in few of his message he wrote one password that I really used in some not important websites. In other his messages he wrote password which looks similar to that one, but I haven't used such one. And in few other messages he just wrote some random passwords made from my email address.
There is one thing that made me sceptical about him - he wrote that he recorded me satisfying myself with my camera. But there is one thing - there is no camera in front of my PC, so, even if would did what he wrote, there is no chance for him to record it Cheesy

. Also, he said that my browser wasn't updated, but I always use newest version of browsers. Finally, he gave me 3 days, but few weeks already passed since I got these messages and nothing didn't happened. I also didn't noticed any strange attempts to login to any of my accounts recently.
It looks like a bit more sophisticated scam attempt. maybe it's really possible that he got my password from one of websites where I used. For example it can be some IPTV providers or Bitcoin faucets which I used many years ago and who sold their database.
I'm not concerned that much because on all websites that really matters I use different and strong websites and 2FA enabled. But I advise for everyone to take safety seriously. Use 2FA, make strong and different website for every website. Don't use your main email address for low importance sign-ups. And don't fall into such scams.

Maybe you send your email in some other fake website and your email got exposed so you have that kind of email. I've experienced it too, I have so many spam email and it's so scared to open because I'm thinking that if you click that email, your information may be exposed by some kind of hacker. Once i get this kind of spam, I reboot my cp and create a new email so that I will not worry anymore. Like what you said, 2FA is the best option for your safety and also to avoid some scammer and also hacker. Don't ignore this thing, It's really important that you know this kind of spam email. Don't just send your information to some suspicious website that can exposed your wallet or maybe your life

LOL

that guy is trying hard to scam you. I think he bought the data from a website where you used your information to register, and now he is trying his luck. I think this is kind of a unique system of email scam attempts. The way this email is written it is very engaging. I have finished the mail from start to finish.

I don't get any emails like this, and maybe it is time to check my spam box to look for some well-written scam scripts.

That guy has no will to live bro, he thinks that he can get a better life by just scamming and hacking people. Try to trick if you have this kind of email, prank it like he always do so the hacker can't hack or scamming anyone but I thinks the best way is just let them be, delete this kind of email so they stop teasing you.
