$1,000 USD to avoid having obscene videos sent to everyone in my contacts

Account taken over access to camera etc

Usual rubbish about accessing porn site

Please do not be alarmed, this is spam! my mother was almost considering sending money before she spoke to me, its a spoofed email and they have absolutly no access to any of your accounts or information.

a typical blackmail scam

The e-mail demanded US$1,000, payable within two days. Claims in the e-mail are false (that it was sent from the recipients e-mail address -> the message headers show it wasnt; that the sender has video from the recipients webcam -> the recipient doesnt have a webcam), so these are idle threats and should be ignored.

Typical I caught you watching porn and have your camera footage type stuff. I dont have any cameras, didnt visit those sites and he can go ahead and tell the universe his lies if he feels like it. Entire email is actually a large graphic to make it more difficult for anti-spam filters to detect and reject.
