Tried to say he hacked my PC and filmed me watching porn. Would send the video out to all my contacts. Put an old password into the subject line. Demanded $1761 payment.

requesting payment of $1799 saying they have hacked my computer and will send out pictures/videos of me watching adult videos to Facebook and all my contacts.

SAYS THAT I WAS HACKED AND PROVES IT BY SENDING MY OLD PASSWORD; DEMANDS MONEY SO THAT HE WILL NOT RELEASE MY VIDEO.

Long copypasta message about how they have videos of me watching porn, and that I must pay them in bitcoin. They back up their claims by dumping an old password into the message as a scare tactic.
