Im not sure these scams actually work, but i got this
same email with the same bitcoin address to 4 seperate
emails and all within a few minutes.

Very scary stuff really.....and all very general language

for scammers it doesnt matter how they get "rewarded"
or to which of their "tools" yeilds the best reward, they
try everything.

Did you use those four emails of yours to register on any (the same) site, or for any airdrop, project or whatever. If you received exactly the same scam mail, then it's prolly from the same set of scammers. Your emails have prolly been sold in the black market, that's why you have received this mail from the scammers who are now in possession of your email address. They claim to have a ransomware installed on your device, ignore the message and discard those emails going forward.

That being said, do not use your emails on untrusted sites, and try as much as possible to use unique emails if you must do, scammers can send you a malware link through your email address or try to get your password through brute Force.

This is a classic sextortion email which has been ongoing for many years now in crypto, but it looks like they are back. I checked the bitcoin address you provided and it has a lot of reports in the last 24 hours.

The sad part is that it seems that someone has paid the ransom at the address has one entry already.

So I would advise you to not reuse that email address for your crypto related activities, create a fresh new email and don't expose them to any other sites.

Or you can try this service: https://haveibeenpwned.com/, to check if those 4 emails of yours have been breach.

One time I got similar email on one of my alternative emails I use for irrelevant things and signups.
It was very funny reading this when scammer told me he saw me and recorded video using my camera...that I don't have installed on my computer  :D
Best thing you can do is to avoid signing up for anything with your main email account, and never post it in public.

of course i didnt respond in any way to the emails.
i posted it here to make more people aware of scams

There had been emails like that before. Even if you have done it before and have an actual video of it, the scammer will just keep asking for the money after some time.
I didn't receive such an email but if I do I would rather want to see it uploaded and see if the scammer can delete it as well. But even so, I will still not give a dime to him.

You'd only be ashamed of it if you have a tiny dick if not then show it.  ;D
