Just another porn blackmail scam. Can't believe people will send $500+ without even bothering to check out the Bitcoin address first - but as of 2019/01/03 10:25 AM EST, nine people have fallen for the BS and there's almost $5000 worth of BTC in this scammer's wallet... “There's a sucker born every minute.” ― P.T.

Same as all others. Traced the source to a dial up IP in Uruguay, Montevideo.

Same as everyone else. Clearly a baseless scam. They have sent the same mail to thousands of people, therefore they do not have the means to determine who made the payment. Yet, nine people have actually paid them a total of 1.283515 BTC, about 4928 USD. This is what encourages these punks to carry on. Surely hope law enforcement agencies will eventually do something about these blackmailers. They think they are invulnerable.

I give you 48 hours to pay. I have a notice reading this letter, and the timer will work when you see this letter. Filing a complaint somewhere does not make sense because this email cannot be tracked like my bitcoin address. I do not make any mistakes.

I sent you an email from your account. This means that I have full access to your account. I've been watching you for a few months now. The fact is that you were infected with malware through an adult site that you visited. 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. I 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. I can also post access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.

If anyone finds out where they are, post it right away. There will be lots of people willing to cut them piece by piece slowly.
