Hi!
Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you.
Several months ago, I got access to the device you are using to browse the internet.
Since that time, I have been monitoring your internet activity.
Being a regular visitor of adult websites, I can confirm that it is you who is responsible for this.
To keep it simple, the websites you visited provided me with access to your data.
I’ve uploaded a Trojan horse on the driver basis that updates its signature several times per day, to make it impossible for antivirus to detect it. Additionally, it gives me access to your camera and microphone.
Moreover, I have backed-up all the data, including photos, social media, chats and contacts.
Just recently, I came up with an awesome idea to create the video where you cum in one part of the screen, while the video was simultaneously playing on another screen. That was fun!
Rest assured that I can easily send this video to all your contacts with a few clicks, and I assume that you would like to prevent this scenario.
With that in mind, here is my proposal:
Transfer the amount equivalent to 1500 USD to my Bitcoin wallet, and I will forget about the entire thing. I will also delete all data and videos permanently.
In my opinion, this is a somewhat modest price for my work.
You can figure out how to purchase Bitcoins using search engines like Google or Bing, seeing that it’s not very difficult.

You have 48 hours to reply and you should also bear the following in mind:
It makes no sense to reply me - the address has been generated automatically.
It makes no sense to complain either, since the letter along with my Bitcoin wallet cannot be tracked.
Everything has been orchestrated precisely.
If I ever detect that you mentioned anything about this letter to anyone - the video will be immediately shared, and your contacts will be the first to receive it. Following that, the video will be posted on the web!
P.S. The time will start once you open this letter. (This program has a built-in timer).
Good luck and take it easy! It was just bad luck, next time please be careful.
If you're panicking after having received this message, you can stop now. This email has been received by lots of other people.
In fact, the Bitcoin Abuse Database has received numerous reports about this Bitcoin address recently, so don't feel like you're a special case. Bitcoin even offers guidance for people who receive threatening messages from scammers like this.
This message is just a potential scammer sending an email to hundreds to thousands of people in the hope that someone whose online behavior matches that described in the message. If just one person falls for it, the scammer gets $1500 in free money for doing absolutely nothing.
Stop worrying, delete the email and go on with your life.
