Don't send money because ***THEY HAVE NOTHING***.

This scam has been going around for a while.  They just send vague threats to emails they found online from compromised websites.

They send out hundreds and hundreds a day, all with the same thing.  I have gotten many to different emails that were all word for word the same thing with only my email changed.  My PC, that they claim to have hacked, doesn't even have a webcam for them to have gotten the video.  Now, they will say they did it to your phone instead, because they all have cameras.

Everybody - you can freely ignore these.  They are preying on a few things here.

- Your naivete 
- The embarrassment something like this could cause a person
- The few that fall for it to make the minimal effort worth it

You can freely, and should freely, just ignore these emails.  This is a very common scam that has surged in the last year.

Contacting the police will do nothing as these people aren't in the US.  

Just take solace in the fact that your private activities ***HAVE NOT*** been compromised in any way.

Did you not see the part where the bad guy showed the victim the video?
