Plot twitst: I dont have any webcams. Lol.
“I’m actually considering doing this for a living, so please go ahead and make me famous. Maybe we can collaborate”.
Seriously though, as said elsewhere, never reply to these.
Hello, my perverted friend.
I had a terrible flashback of Reddit where everyone would make the same reply over and over and over

You pos
I’ve come to wank with you again.
On a webcam soft-ly stroking
To a vid of extreme poking
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
The art
Of coitus
Congrats, y’all are the first ever post in Lemmy Sings!
How did they even get your email?
Sweet summer child
My boss got this one once. He asked me if we needed to scan our network for malware.
That raises more questions…
Earlier they used breached passwords associated with the email address to try to add some credibility. They don’t bother now. Just another scam meme to join the rest for eternity.
I can confirm they do still bother; I received an email doing this earlier this week.
I can appreciate that the plot twist wasn’t: “I don’t jerk off”
Man asexuals will blow your mind
Nah, just meant my man definitely own up to jerking it, just not around webcams.
Invest some time in transferring to a new email address but also an email alias service. That way you never give out your new email address to anyone and give each site/service you use its own alias.
Often a low-effort alternative to this is to use the “plus addressing” trick: username+whateveryoulike@domain.tld
The example above routes to username@domain.tld, but you can track and filter on the extra tag portion.
Granted, it doesn’t have universal support, but it’s somewhat widespread at least.
This works but has a number of downsides.
Eg hackers just have to remove the +portion to have your email address. You also can’t send emails out via any of those addresses.
I work as a sysadmin and had a user in my building call us about one of these emails. I didn’t say it out loud but, if it wasn’t true, why would he even feel the need to ask if it was real or possible?
Plot Twist: They downloaded WebCam
No, I get it. They’ll need expensive therapy after watching that.
The first rule of blackmail: supply proof. Not hints or riddles; proof. If they don’t attach pictures (or a severed thumb, whatever) it’s nonsense.
From the spammers’ perspective, though, they sent millions of emails like this at basically zero cost; my catch-all mailbox for five domains gets about a dozen a day. If one moron pays up it’s work it to them.
I think if they have videos of me jerking off they owe me money, not the other way around. That’s how onlyfans works right?
You got video of me jerking off for free!? I charge extra just for getting to look at it. Bitch you owe me money, not the other way around!
What op should say to them
Who even has their webcam pointed that low?
