Two emails received claiming to have dual video footage of me watching pornography, and asking for $500 in Bitcoin to not share the video with my contacts.
received mail from him/her, saying that they have footage of me watching porn and demanded 500 USD to not make it public. Most likely a scam, since I do not visit these websites often and definitely don't own an account on any of them (the mail said, "You entered a password on the websites, and I intercepted it")

claims to have a video of me watching porn taken from my non-existent webcam and demands 500 USD so as to not spread it to my contacts
same as the others, claims to have installed a virus and recorded the screen and the webcam and that they will send out the recording of me watching porn to my contacts if not given $500. I've received an email from them twice and I know they are just mass sending out this email because I do not visit any of these sites.
Asks for $500 in exchange of alleged videos of myself watching porn, which they will send to my contacts if not payed within 46 hours.

same as others, hacker claims to have videos of me watching porn and demands 500USD otherwise he’ll release the videos to my contacts and post it online. i dont even know if i did visit the website but i highly doubt so.
Same as everyone else, asking for $500 under a circumstance that literally doesn't apply to my web browsing habits.

Claims to have webcam video of me watching porn, but I don't have a webcam... Also claims to send to all 6 contacts, but I have more than 6. Was stressing a little but seems like everyone is coming across this.
