Haha! I just got a funny e-mail from a scammer

A scammer sent me an e-mail with this funny text, which made me laugh a lot (excerpt):

>>>>I am well aware XXXXXXXX one of your passwords. Lets get straight to the point. Neither anyone has paid me to investigate about you. You don't know me and you're probably wondering why you are getting this email?
In fact, I placed a malware on the X streaming (pornographic material) site and there's more, you visited this website to have fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching video clips, your web browser began functioning as a Remote control Desktop having a key logger which gave me access to your screen and also web camera. After that, my software program obtained your entire contacts from your Messenger, social networks, and email account. Next I created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were viewing (you have a fine taste hehe), and 2nd part shows the recording of your cam, & it is u.
You get 2 possibilities. We are going to explore these possibilities in aspects:
Very first alternative is to just ignore this message. Then, I most certainly will send your video to almost all of your personal contacts and also you can easily imagine regarding the shame you feel. Keep in mind in case you are in a committed relationship, exactly how it is going to affect?
Other choice is to pay me USD 987. I will describe it as a donation. In this situation, I will promptly delete your videotape. You will carry on with your daily life like this never happened and you would never hear back again from me.<<<<

Oh boy, I am so glad, that I didn't watch porn for over 31 days now! I wonder, what video clips this scammer was recording. Me, watching funny cat videos on youtube? Or me watching the NoFap-Videos? And he recorded me fapping? With my web camera that has duck tape on its lense?

So without bad conscience I can put this e-mail into the trash folder ... but it was good for a laugh and made my day

 

There was another similar thread here in NF about this scam a few months ago.

I got the same message. Those suckers actually got hold of an old password of mine that I hadn’t used in years.

Just ignore the email. Nothing has happened to me.

 

Yaaah, man I know what you're talking about. this 1's pretty similiar to the other 1 too...

 

I live in a shared apartment with the landlady. She had got such an email recently (similar to what you described; telling her to pay an amount of money in bitcoin or else they'll send all her contacts emails with explicit images from the webcam and details about use of porn websites )

Obviously I am the PA here, not her. My question is, is there a chance that I was the one meant by the blackmail, but because she owns the internet service (or some other related reason), the emails where sent to her instead, or is that irrelevant or just a coincidence?

I wanted to post a thread about this but found this one, so I thought I'd ask the question here. According to posts here it should not be a worry, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

 

Thanks a lot for the reply, I hope it is. Damn this thing scared the shit out of me.

 

I’m not sure how radom they are. The email I received had the exact password that I had used for a filthy site I frequented over ten years ago. One that I stopped visiting, password that I never used anymore. I ignored it.

Even if the password had been current I would have ignored the email. The way I saw it, I’ve got to suffer consequences for my bad actions and that would have been one of them. I’ve lost a lot of friends already due to my addiction.

I talked to some of the guys in my SAA group and one had also received that scam email. He also ignored it. I shutter to think about all those poor chaps who are truly duped. I read that once you send what they are demanding they’ll keep demanding more.
