Smeone I know go an E-mail, basically saying that the sender of the e-mail knows all the filth and girlies they've been watching and in order to clean his slate they must send $1950 in bitcoin.

At first I was freaking out for them but then when they ask to send money via bitcoin it's most probably a scam!

Yes, I got a few in September and this week one again.
I reported it as spam.

I also got spooked for a little but I don't even have a web cam even if any of it would be true.

I keep on getting this from different emails
I didn't fall for it the first time so they can stop now Can't Believe It

Mine also included a pic of my neighbours house which is clearly from google maps, anyone can get it as well as my parents address and my mom's phone number (I guess I must of used it somewhere?!)
At first I was freaked out even though BH I know there is no way it can be true as I don't even have a smart phone and neither me or my mother would ever go on these sites but then I realized this guy is probably half way around the world sending this out on repeat and it easy to get people's info online...
