Claims to have control of my computer and videos of me while visiting porn sites. Wants $1,450 in Bitcoin. Gives 48 hour deadline, else will send the video to all my contacts. Has been sending the same email several times a day for months.

Standard sextortion email from a spoofed email adress pretending to be yours.

"Hello! Have you recently noticed that I have e-mailed you from your account? Yes, this simply means that I have total access to your device. For the last couple of months, I have been watching you. Still wondering how is that possible? Well, you have been infected with malware originating from an adult website that you visited. You may not be familiar with this, but I will try explaining it to you. With help of the Trojan Virus, I have complete access to a PC or any other device. This simply means I can see you at any time I wish to on your screen by simply turning on your camera and microphone, without you even noticing it. In addition, I have also got access to your contacts list and all your correspondence." They go on to say they want $1450USD in bitcoin to delete a compromising video they have of me. Joke's on them, I have camera covers that I always use so it would be impossible for them to have the video they claim. Pretty clever to make it look like they have access to my own email, which of course they do not, this is something I've not seen before with this type of scam email.

Someone sent me an email from my own email account somehow, and said they had a video of me masturbating and would post it to everyone if I didn't pay $1450 (USD) into their Bitcoin wallet.

Wondering how bad could this get? With just a single click of my mouse, this video can be sent to all your social networks, and e-mail contacts. I can also share access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use. All you have to do to prevent this from happening is - transfer bitcoins worth $1450 (USD) to my Bitcoin address (if you have no idea how to do this, you can open your browser and simply search: "Buy Bitcoin"). My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 17wkbqoaUCUUxw3N1QocutFJTH47Zb8jPQ After receiving a confirmation of your payment, I will delete the video right away, and that's it, you will never hear from me again. You have 2 days (48 hours) to complete this transaction. Once you open this e-mail, I will receive a notification, and my timer will start ticking. Any attempt to file a complaint will not result in anything, since this e-mail cannot be traced back, same as my bitcoin id. I have been working on this for a very long time by now; I do not give any chance for a mistake.

In addition, I have also got access to your contacts list and all your correspondence. You may be asking yourself, "But my PC has an active antivirus, how is this even possible? Why didn't I receive any notification?" Well, the answer is simple: my malware uses drivers, where I update the signatures every four hours, making it undetectable, and hence keeping your antivirus silent. I have a video of you wanking on the left screen, and on the right screen - the video you were watching while masturbating. Wondering how bad could this get?
