Idiotic spammers trying to extort me, claiming they hacked my webcam and got video of me jerking off, so I have to pay them on bitcoin. (lemmy.ml)

Earlier they used breached passwords associated with the email address to try to add some credibility. They don't bother now. Just another scam meme to join the rest for eternity.

I can confirm they do still bother; I received an email doing this earlier this week.

Ok, I stand corrected. I think the original scam is just outnumbered now.
