My wife’s mate had this and was very worried.
Appreciate it’s a scam, but imho the best way to deal with blackmailers is to tell them to crack on and post up whatever they have, as you will refuse to give them a single penny.
Easier said than done, but you’d never be able to trust someone who blackmailed you anyhow.

Apparently it's better not to respond at all.

My partner received such an email. I'm looking forward to getting the video

If it’s over email, of course - not so easy when it’s during a Skype video call, but still probably the best policy in this country.

I've never had that (I stick a bit of blu tac over the cam when perusing Vordermans Facebook page), but the scum wouldn't get a penny from me. I'd promise to come visit them for a chat.

Has anyone else been sent an email saying you clicked on a porn site and they filmed you via your webcam having a Barclays Bank,

No webcam so nothing to worry about.....

Even without a webcam they know if you're having a J Arthur by how vigorously the mouse moves.

It was gerbil, except of course, it wasn't.

(ah, but I see Dawn French has also heard your hamster version )
