Are such emails a scam? Do I have to let them blackmail me?

Hi,

I am a professional hacker and have successfully managed to hack your operating system.

Currently I have gained full access to your account.

In addition, I was secretly monitoring all your activities and watching you for several months.

The thing is your computer was infected with harmful spyware due to the fact that you had visited a website with porn content previously.

╭ ᑎ ╮

Let me explain to you what that entails. Thanks to Trojan viruses, I can gain complete access to your computer or any other device that you own.

It means that I can see absolutely everything in your screen and switch on the camera as well as microphone at any point of time without your permission.

In addition, I can also access and see your confidential information as well as your emails and chat messages.

You may be wondering why your antivirus cannot detect my malicious software.

Let me break it down for you: I am using harmful software that is driver-based,

which refreshes its signatures on 4-hourly basis, hence your antivirus is unable to detect its presence.

I have made a video compilation, which shows on the left side of the scenes of you happily masturbating,

while on the right side it demonstrates the video you were watching at that moment..ᵔ.ᵔ

All I need is just to share this video to all email addresses and messenger contacts of people you are in communication with on your device or PC.

Furthermore, I can also make public all your emails and chat history.

I think you would definitely want to avoid this from happening.

Here is what you need to do – transfer the Bitcoin equivalent of $800 to my Bitcoin account

(that is rather a simple process, which you can check out online in case if you don't know how to do that).

Below is my bitcoin account information (Bitcoin wallet):

Once the required amount is transferred to my account, I will proceed with deleting all those videos and disappear from your life once and for all.

Kindly ensure you complete the abovementioned transfer within 50 hours (2 days +).

I will receive a notification right after you open this email, hence the countdown will start.

Trust me, I am very careful, calculative and never make mistakes.

If I discover that you shared this message with others, I will straight away proceed with making your private videos public.

Have a nice day!
