for you it is better that this problem remains between us
Unsolicited Commercial Email, or spam, although it is always a nuisance, can be amusing at times. How often have you received mail from a spammer who failed to read the instructions on his new software -- "Dear %%name%%,". Or the one you receive in April -- "Offer ends December 31." I could go on, but...
What follows arrived in my mailbox today. I thought it too hilarious not to share with my fellow Steemians. I should note that I am not in the habit of clicking on porn videos, special tastes or not. I do not own a camera, web or otherwise. Furthermore, there is no special tracking pixel in his email. The only non funny points are that this particular piece of spam is illegal (extortion?) and some poor sod who's feeling guilty about his "special tastes" may pay up.
I am curious, is it possible to trace the wallet?
Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Hello. I sincerely expect that I will not graze ur feelings. Shit happens, life didn’t give me selection. I have nothing against people with special tastes, moreover I cant judge you. So:
Firstly, I put the special virus on a web site with porn videos (I think you understood me).
Secondly, when u clicked on a video, soft at once started working, all cameras switched on and screen started recording, then my soft collected all contacts from emails, messengers etc. Im very proud for this soft, it makes devices act as remote desktop with keyloggerfunction, impressive. This email address Ive collected from your device, I emailed u here because I think you will 100% going to check your corporative email.
Finally, I made a split screen video, evidently with your involvement, its kinda strange. Consequently, I can share this video with all your friends, colleagues, relatives etc. I guess it’s a big shame for u.
But we can resolve this problem. 330Usd- in my opinion, very humanely cost for mistake like this.I accept only btc(cryptocurrency), this is my wallet’s address- 1Lu6JkRmxDbs9fXVvGqWbxRk8oTPmbf5EQ. You have 45 hours after reading my message to complete transaction. I will know when u opened this message, I put special tracking pixel in it. This time is sufficiently only to finish all verifications and transaction, so you have to think fast. If I wont get my «salary», I will share this video with all contact Ive received from ur device.
You can ask police for an assistance, but they wont detect me for even 150 hours, Im foreign, so think twice. If Ill receive btc- all evidence will be destroyed forever and I will never message you again. You can reply, but this wont make sense, I sent you this notification using my soft for anonymous messages, I don’t check the mailbox after using it, cuz I think about my security too. Have a nice day, I hope u will make a good decision for you.
Oh man, that is a pretty smart scammer hahaha. I can see how it would totally get some freaked out people to pay up, though you would think that people who are smart enough to be into bitcoin would see through it. Might be a great way to onboard newbs into crypto though, haha.
I often wonder, after reading some of these... do they actually get people to give them money??? Seriously! LMAO
You bet your sweet bippy.
Lol, my sweet bippy, aye?
Dick: May the Good Fairy sprinkle stardust on your bippy.
Dan: Just a minute now. I've been meaning to ask you; what's a bippy?
Dick It's a baby bip.
Dan: Then what's a bip?
Dick: It's a big bippy.
Dan: Are you sure?
Dick: You bet your sweet bippy, I'm sure!
Thanks for, um, clearing that up.
;)

Well, there are people who actually got taken in by the 'you've just inherited a million dollars' scam, and also the Nigerian 'I need you to put my money in your bank account' scam, so I guess there will be a few takers for this one. As you mentioned at the start, someone who has just been watching porn might not believe it a co-incidence.
How did he know about my special tastes?
Omg! You did not get this! That's crazy. Sad thing is some people will pay.😬
