New Extortion Email Scam Threatens to Release Your Sex Tape

Scammers are now sending extortion emails stating that they have a tape of you and them having intercourse and are threatening to release it if you do not send them a $1,500 in bitcoins. The email goes on to say that they will delete everything they have about you and you will never hear from them again. The reality is that this is just a scam and the senders do not have a video of themselves having intercourse with you. The good news is that people are not falling for it and the bitcoin address associated with the email had not received payments as of today.
