This email came in at 8:34 am this morning asking for $1000 in bit coin as ransom otherwise he's going to release an alleged video. Same email format at 6 others that came in this morning; all with different bitcoin addresses.

I made a backup of the system. Of all the files and each contact. I got a dual-screen record. The 1 part displays the video you had been observing (you've got the perfect taste, wow...), and the 2nd part reveals the video from your camera. What should you do? Great, I believe, 1000 USD will be a realistic price for our very little secret. You'll make your deposit by bitcoins (if you don't understand this, go searching “how to buy bitcoin” in any search engine). My bitcoin wallet address: 156GVbMtiBfrqkQYKi1zvqJKAWyLHZ4DQU

Got two emails, one on March 4th, the other March 5th. Both similar emails threaten to blackmail with videos of me watching porn. Totally not legit considering I don't participate in that activity, and my webcam is disabled. Plus, looking at the headers of the email proves it did not originate from my email address and is therefore NOT legitimate. Just a spoof! Excerpts:I got a dual-screen movie. The 1 section displays the video you had been observing (you've got the perfect preferences, huh...), the 2nd screen shows the tape from your own webcam. 1000 USD is a good amount of money for our little secret. You'll do the payment by bitcoins My bitcoin wallet address: 156GVbMtiBfrqkQYKi1zvqJKAWyLHZ4DQU

this is the 5th of 5 emails received in the last 24 hours from five different bitcoin addresses; he's asking for $1000 in bitcoin as ransom otherwise he's releasing an alleged video tape of me to my contact list; which obviously doesn't exist.

Hi, this account was infected! Change the pswd right this moment! You probably do not heard about me and you may be probably wondering why you're reading this electronic message, is it right? I'm ahacker who crackedyour emailand systemseveral months ago. Don't make an attempt to talk to me or find me, in fact it's hopeless, since I sent you a letter from YOUR own account that I've hacked. I've created spyware on the adult vids (porno) website and guess that you have watched this website to have fun (you understand what I mean). When you were keeping an eye on these "great" vids, your browser began functioning as a RDP (Remote Control) with a keylogger that granted me access to your monitor and network camera. Afterward, my softobtainedall data. You have put passwords on the web services you visited, and I caught all of them.
