    These extortion emails are just spam ran by bots.
    Your email address probably got leaked before in a database and the people who send those extortion emails make use of it.
    They send it to every email address with the same exact text.
    I have had couple of these in the past aswell.
    There is nothing to worry about bro.
    Make sure u clean your PC just incase, malwarebytes is a nice software to clean your pc with.

    I received a similar mail. Went on to check the IP it was sent from, turned out to be from Ivory Coast :rolleyes:

    It's the classic scare tactic scammers use, just delete and block the email.

    It's pretty easy to spoof the origin address in an email. Don't worry about that. Maybe switch to a better mail client like gmail which might warn you the address is spoofed. Make sure you implement SPF if you use a custom domain.
