Description
I have received 3 threatening extortion emails within the past 10 days. They claim to have used malware to get control of my webcam and have photos and information of me. They have threatened to share these to my entire contact list if I do not pay them quickly. I immediately report these emails to gmail. The scammer creates new gmail addresses and keeps threatening me. I was advised to mark them as SPAM, but it doesn't help if they keep creating new emails.
