Angola, 2019-04-02 10:50:55E-mail from my own address with a text (really a jpg) saying they had infected my computer (not true) and hacked my E-mail and facebook (also not true) and recorded me watching porno on my own webcamera (most definitely not true as I have no webcam here nor do I watch porno) and would publish it on Facebook (where they also claimed to have set a tracking pixel) and send to my relatives and to my bosses at work if I didn't pay Euro1000 to this bitcoin address.

Recorded with my laptop cam, me watching porn and also all my passwords. Will be sending video to all contacts within 48 hours if I dont pay $1000 worth of bitcoins to to the mentioned account.

Netherlands, 2019-04-04 10:04:07Email looks like it was sent from my own email address, but if you check source the return path is different from my address. Content is a .jpg file with text that is slightly pixelated (to confuse spam filters?) Text is than claiming installing malware into my computer through a pornsite, collecting all my pass codes and making a copy of all my data. Also claims having a split screen video from my webcam and screen while watching porn. Asking for 1000 USD in time limit of 2days, threatening with sending the video to all my contacts if I don't pay. Got two emails like that, each time abusing a different email address and showing different btc address. The text itself has some slight differences, but some sentences remain the same.
