Sextortion scammer emails

Today I received two extortion e-mails that claimed to have proof of me visiting a pornographic site and demanded a $2000.00 bitcoin payment within 24-48 hrs, or the content and videos of me from my webcam would be shared with my contact list. They revealed an old password that was previously used as a login to a website to prove they had information from my computer and browser history. The whole letter was B*** S***.

A friend of mine received a few of the same demands over the last few days

This is a complete scam so if you receive something similar ignore it.

This is not only a scam, but it is also a criminal extortion attempt. Victims are urged to report it to the authorities, such as local police, the FBI, etc. Well good luck to that. I tried a number of ways to report it but no one seemed to care, or it was such a hassle that I gave up.

Stay safe everyone.
