Blackmail, asking for $700, threatened to publish 'questionable' video content, to contacts based on browsing activities. Claims to be sent from owners email address, however on closer inspection is slightly different.

Sent me one of my passwords and demanded 625$ in bitcoins threatening to publish my alleged videos of "pleasuring myself" to my social media contacts :) No clue how he knew one of my passwords used to some irrelevant login but the e-mail message was sent from was one letter different from my e-mail. Sent him an e-mail back telling him to go fu*k himself.

Someone wrote me over my own e-mail address. He says he knows one of my passwords and even said it. He sais he took pictures and videos, while I was "pleasing myself" and I have 8 hours to send to him 700$ in worth of bitcoin. I don't even have a Webcam, but ok:D.

This is the greatest possible nonsense, charged with Bitcoin is anonymous so the con artist can also do not know who the money (there is no sender). The story as in the mail is not true and is not defined on truths. If you receive the mail you can safely delete, there are no videos and photos and there may also be spread nothing if they do not exist.
