Showed a password I've used in the past in the subject line. Claimed they made a video of me masturbating to porn and obtained all my contacts. Demanded 1000 USD to avoid having video sent to all my contacts.

Very much the same as all the other claims. Email from [email protected] Had some very old password I haven't used in years. Says he knows all my contacts and online activity from my computer for the last 168 days. Something about having a video clip of a masturbation act. I don't have a computer.

Same as everyone else describes. "Pay me in bitcoins or else I will send videos to your Facebook contacts etc" I don't have Facebook :)
