He is.
Wanted me to help him retrieve $20,000,000 that he’d left at JFK airport.
Sounded tempting but couldn’t get the time off work.

Had a similar one saying the sender had videoed me in hand-to-gland combat which would be shared with my nearest and dearest if I didn't send him a few BTC.

I was pretty impressed he'd managed it when the laptop webcam is always covered up...

Going to be honest, I got one last week from the sales@ email address at work, which only me and my boss have access to and deleted it.
Got another one yesterday saying if ignored it again a video of me pulling my skeleton out would go to all the contacts on the list and didn't sleep last night.

Feel much happier now having seen this thread as one is almost exactly the same.

Your account is being used by another person!

Hi, stranger!

I hacked your device, because I sent you this message from your account.
If you have already changed your password, my malware will be intercepts it every time.

You may not know me, and you are most likely wondering why you are receiving this email, right?
In fact, I posted a malicious program on adults (pornography) of some websites, and you know that you visited these websites to enjoy
(you know what I mean).

While you were watching video clips,
my trojan started working as a RDP (remote desktop) with a keylogger that gave me access to your screen as well as a webcam.

Immediately after this, my program gathered all your contacts from messenger, social networks, and also by e-mail.

What I've done?
I made a double screen video.
The first part shows the video you watched (you have good taste, yes ... but strange for me and other normal people),
and the second part shows the recording of your webcam.

What should you do?

Well, I think $690 (USD dollars) is a fair price for our little secret.
You will make a bitcoin payment (if you don't know, look for "how to buy bitcoins" on Google).

BTC Address: 1PH5CYMeD4ZLTZ2ZYnGLFmQRjnptyLNqcf
(This is CASE sensitive, please copy and paste it)

Remarks:
You have 2 days (48 hours) to pay. (I have a special code, and at the moment I know that you have read this email).

If I don't get bitcoins, I will send your video to all your contacts, including family members, colleagues, etc.
However, if I am paid, I will immediately destroy the video, and my trojan will be destruct someself.

If you want to get proof, answer "Yes!" and resend this letter to youself.
And I will definitely send your video to your any 14 contacts.

This is a non-negotiable offer, so please do not waste my personal and other people's time by replying to this email.

Bye!

Clearly worked. You can check Bitcoin wallet at Check Bitcoin Wallet Address Balance - Online Tool | BitRef - you can see 5 transactions amounting to
0.52135100 BTC (c 1800 USD). Those getting these emails will be listed at Have I Been Pwned: Check if your email has been compromised in a data breach - quite scary, especially when they include an old password that has also been leaked in a data breach.
