Threatening to release porn video footage to 'randomly selected top 15 FB friends' without $2000 worth of bitcoin transaction. Sorry I've never watched porn (at least online). They had my id and password for 'not important accounts' which is used for websites that requires minimal information and also is not important. but some people might have the same ID and passwords for every account, which could be threat for them.

Same as everyone here, received the same email in very broken English saying they had an inappropriate video and wanted 2000 USD with a very old password from 2006 attached or else they'd released it to the public. Frankly I'd be interested in seeing said video, I haven't made any that I'm aware of, I must be getting up to things in my sleep that I wish I was when I'm awake.

This blackmail threatened my integrity saying they'll use inappropriate and compromising footage and video of my self. They said they got personal information through scam porn websites which is not true nor is my interest that kind of entertainment. Therefore I'll like to report the bitcoin account attached, asking 2000 USD. I leave below the instruction and part of the email: "???????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????????????????: 1CYHwtJ2b9DHEGD**FxZdL71XuMG2SaSELXy [???????????????? ????????????????????????????????????, ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ????????, ???????????? ???????????????????????? ** ???????????????? ????????] (???????? ???????????? ????????????'???? ???????????????? ????????????, ???????????????????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????. ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????????????? ????????????????)" I hope someone catches this people and block the account before someone else falls for it.
