That reminds me, I recently got an email telling me to send bitcoins because they recorded me doing naughty stuff and they'd send it to all my contacts.
Of course I'm smarter than to send them bitcoins.
I send a naughty video of myself to all my contacts instead, that hacker got nothing on me! 
Seriously though, I had a chuckle over that one

before you send your naughty self-vids to your contacts consider do your contacts really want to see you doing strange stuff?
ask them to send you bitcoins to NOT send it to them.
... and to prove it's not a scam perhaps attach some thumbnail / edited preview clips.
Edit:
... those contacts that do want to see it: ask them for bitcoins to get the unedited version.
Either way you get bitcoins.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Great plan!
So you better start sending me some bitcoins or I'll use the private email thingy...

Got the same email too.
The password is from a site I haven't used in the last 15 years and I have had no webcam in the last 10 years.
But I can imagine a bunch of people will be scared to death if they receive such an email and I know a couple of them

There was a hack long ago on a big site. I forget which one. I got one of those e-mails that had the password from that old site. Of course that demonstrates why we shouldn't use the same password on multiple sites. It did encourage me to go back and make sure of that at least. Back in those happier, more innocent days, it probably wasn't uncommon for even fairly technically astute people to use the same password. I had done it a few times, but all of them were either defunct now, or a couple online stores that only had many years of of date info that would have just set off alarms if they tried to use it.

Unfortunately a lot off people fall for it ...
I'm the same as you, at home desktop with no camera attached (or mic).
My work laptop has one but that is disabled in control panel and I doubt that video off me programming is going to freak anyone out... (and I never take my work laptop home so ...)
I haven't received such email tho, I never get the scam phone calls either.
Starting to feel left out

I had a similar email a while back. Apparently they had hijacked my passwords and had been watching me via my laptop's camera. Unfortunately my laptop hasn't got a camera. Nice try

I was able to solve this problem without my camera lens getting all tape-sticky by simply not masturbating in front of my computer while watching porn. Kinda spoiled the scam in my case.
Let me guess...I'm an...outlier?

Typically, its just phish email, trying to get your personal info.

I always wanted to email 'em back to let them know I already told my family and friends all the weird sh*t, pr0n, etc.

Well, I successfully created something that eats grammars and spits out parsers for them (both LALR and LL1)
but so much left to do before it's road ready. I want to post this article badly but i might be as much as 2 weeks out and I can't wait.
patience. om. patience

When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
