I don't think I've ever gotten a extortion spam email before.

"I got into your account because you clicked a link."

No, you didn't. I don't click links in my email.

"I've recorded you when you were watching porn videos. Now pay me or I release this video."

No, you didn't. I don't watch porn videos. You just got my email address from one of many data breaches and are sending out a blanket message to people with the same copypasta.

I wonder how many people these work on.

@sentientdessert I get one of those about once every 3 weeks or so. They keep threatening but kind of hard to threaten when you have no material evidence.

@PaganMother The credible ones will at least attach a picture of you.

This is funny to me because they're describing in detail all the things they did to avoid detection, and that I supposedly did in the video they don't have.

It's comical. Like, I needed that laugh.
