As you may have noticed, I sent this email from your email account (if you didn't see, check the from Sender email ID.)<br>
<br>
In other words, I have full access to your email account.<br>
<br>
I infected you with a malware (RAT) / (Remote Administration Tool), a
few months back when you visited an adult site, and since then, I have
been observing your actions.<br>
<br>
The malware gave me full access and control over your system, meaning, I
can see everything on your screen, turn on your camera or microphone
and you won't even notice about it.<br>
<br>
I have also access to all your contacts.<br>
I made a video showing both you (through your webcam) and the video you
were watching (on the screen) while statisfying yourself.<br>
I can send this video to all your contacts (email, social network)!<br>
<br>
You can prevent me from doing this.<br>
<br>
To stop me, transfer exactly 900$ with the current (BTC) BITCOIN price, to my bitcoin address.<br>
I think it's a very good price compared to the damage, hell and suffering, it will bring into your life!<br>
<br>
If you do not know how to get bitcoin, Google - "How to buy Bitcoin".<br>
Your wallet you can create here: <a href="http://www.login.blockchain.com/en/#/signup/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.login.blockchain.com/en/#/signup/</a> - to receive and send the bitcoin.<br>
<br>
My bitcoin adress is: 17jHsGecV53ro2LGzo53s5trTH6Qf3gksS<br>
<br>
After receiving the payment, I will delete the video, and we will forget everything!<br>
I give you 8 days to get the bitcoins.<br>
Since I already have access to your system, I know when you read this email.<br>
<br>
Don't share this email with anyone, this is our little secret!<br>
