He apparently found and infected me with something he calls a "Log 1 virus".
This is, I guess, done via adult Web sites that feature video types "webrtc" and "ja.scr". He says it happens when you hit the play button.
He alleges to be active with this malware on approximately 4,938 sites. (No, I've never visited that many in my life!)
He threatens to ruin my social status (I wasn't aware I had one) by showing a captured split screen featuring the vid I supposedly watched, alongside vid of me masturbating while watching this.
That should prove interesting!
He wants $450 in bitcoin, and obligingly includes his bitcoin wallet number.
He's given me 3 days, since he says (and I quote) TP is within this HTML file so it will inform me whenever you open it!
My email doe not utilize HTML.
He closes by saying he takes his privacy extremely serious, so I can call the police or whatever, it makes no difference to him.
Oh, yeah. He also says he can utilize my device as the dedicated server.
Well, at any rate, has anyone else gotten one of these? I've been looking it up online, but so far nothing.
In any event, if you see this email header in your mail box, delete it. (That's just my suggestion.)
Of course, any and all comments are welcome.

My wife got one a month ago similar. It is a bluff and took it to Geek Squad just to make sure. Called 10 times a day for two weeks wanting $499.

Starts with: It was a dark and stormy night?
I never open any message that doesn’t come from a source I recognize. It goes right into the delete folder!
What will Anthony Weiner do with bitcoins in jail?
There are some Youtube video's that show some IT guys speaking with them on the phone. One guy infected the guy trying to get his money. It was a hoot.
Ask him if you can order prints of the photos
