Crisis averted perhaps... After reading it through he is mentioning about some "sexy photos of mine" well there might some kind of pornography here and there I don't think that's the matter, anyway did any of you lads got the same mail or a similar one? Sounds like a bait to me.
Yeah, fake as hell.
I received one as well and Gareth from Rockwell addressed the topic on Reddit

Nice, thanks for the picture very helpful indeed!
No problem, have a nice weekend!
Just got this email and didn't believe a word of it but logged on here just to see if anyone else had received.
Thanks for posting the info.

Very spammy. I often get emails from PayPal and Apple that are not really them.
Dishonest people in this world. Sad.

Got the same e-mail and figured it was a hack or spoof. Opened it against my better judgement and realized my first instinct was correct. Immediately closed and deleted it. For safety's sake ran a couple of malware/antivirus programs which turned up nothing.
Anyway, many thanks for sharing the results of your follow-up.

I received it on a work email address that has absolutely nothing compromising on it.
...i received the same email....i just deleted it ....
I have received similar emails a number of times all asking for money. Usually around $500 and say they will expose me and shutdown my computer. I am not intimidated and my computer is still working. Surprising even one claimed to have a password and displayed it for me and yeah it was a password I use for generic things and nothing for ordering. Not sure how they come across that but makes you wonder. I get a lot from Apple that are fake saying I owe money, a number of them from Amazon that I won gift cards and such. Look at the addresses and they are usually spelled wrong and have funny characters in them.
600$ must be a magic number that makes them guilty of a more serious crime that would actually get taken seriously.
I use Gmail and it catches most of that crap thankfully.
Passwords are easy if you have them saved anywhere or ever use them on a site that's been hacked or over an unencrypted page.
