Sextortion
Abuser: purportedly Hacker
I hadn't gotten one of these for _months_. Same old sextortion scam, claiming my system has been taken over and compromising videos taken, which will be distributed unless blackmail ($500) is paid. This script kiddy didn't even bother including a stale password as "evidence" of having taken over my system. I _still_ don't understand how people fall for this--if this loser truly had that kind of system access, they wouldn't bother installing video software on the off chance I might do something embarrassing, and they certainly wouldn't be boasting about it. They'd instead be quietly running up charges on my credit cards before I noticed.
