saying he hacked my phone and has videos of me and my family. will send sexual videos to all my contacts he hacked out my phone

Contacted on Facebook Messenger. If I paid a certain amount I would receive money via Cashapp. Send more, get more. Nothing was ever enough. Then to finalize my payment they wanted me to buy $500 bitcoin in Cashapp and send to this long number. Once confronted, he had a female friend explain it, while being very pushing. This went on for 3 days. I never sent them the Bitcoin and they weren't very happy.

Said he has access to camera and browsing history. Pay $977 in 48 hours or my videos will be shared with all my contacts. Seemed to be sent from my email address but I am pretty sure it was spoofed. Either way, I don't care if anything is released. Was going to laugh and move on but looked up the wallet address and has over $6k transaction history so his scam has worked on several victims.

It was a basic Hi i hacked your accounts plz send money to this address. I found it rather hilarious as it was such a boilerplate email. Not sure who the abuser is but checking the potential source the email apparently originated in Japan and bounced from Argentina the source in Japan is Baratel.com and it was bounced from vps-1959975-x.dattaweb.com
