Time is running out fast for you. I was able to access your devices via websites you previously visited. Those websites enabled access. One included a particular code that functioned successfully. Now I can see everything that is displayed on your screen and everything around it within the camera's field of view. If you don't believe me, you can stop reading right now. I won't waste my time with you, and I'll just release all this information about you on every social media platform and send it to everyone you know. I've saved copies of your most interesting files and have the contacts you interact with most frequently. I also have access to your entire browsing history. I have all the data I need. At first, I thought of deleting everything I found on your devices and moving on. But after reviewing the sites you regularly visit, I changed my mind. I'm referring to the sites with questionable content. Then I came up with an idea. I took screenshots of the sites you visit when you're alone. After that, I managed to capture video footage of you using your camera in some rather private moments. (By the way, I had to wait for the right opportunity to capture you on camera) But it was worth the effort, and it will leave an impression on everyone you know and anyone on the Internet. Here's the deal: You send me money, and I'll delete all of this data about you, and we can both forget this ever happened. I'm asking for USD 1491 in BTC. Here is address: 1P7hiaE5RUSTLUFkXKDZXQ4hxEdarzqaTv You have 42 hours from now to make the payment. I've already explained what will happen if you don't comply. Honestly, it's your choice. And don't take this personally. It's just business. A word of advice: Don't leave your phone or computer unattended. Seriously, think about it!

Oh my, this is quite the dramatic email! I must say, you’ve certainly put a lot of effort into your message—I almost feel flattered by the attention! But before we dive into anything, I’d love to know more about your “business” approach here. It’s quite... unconventional. Also, out of curiosity, what inspired you to set the price at $1491? It’s such a specific number! Let’s chat about that—maybe there’s a story behind it?
