What's in the email?
They are accused of being pedophiles. While consuming such porn, you allegedly downloaded a virus that can access your camera. This allowed the criminals to film you while you masturbated. They now claim to have 4 videos of you that they will send to all your contacts if you don't transfer Bitcoins within a week.


Recipients are addressed personally
Since you are addressed by your name, the email appears as if it was sent only to you. But it was sent en masse to countless email addresses. The criminals probably only took your name from the email address or they have a database where names and email addresses are documented. – The first assumption is obvious, since “office” was used as the name in our example.
Move fraudulent emails to your spam folder. This will help your email program learn to recognize spam better.
Are there videos of me?
The email says there are 4 videos of evidence. To appear credible, the criminals included the file name in the email in combination with your name and the file size. But that is far from proof!
