Hello, my perverted friend.

I think if they have videos of me jerking off they owe me money, not the other way around. That's how onlyfans works right?

My likeness is owned by PornHub and our legal team will be in touch.

Please remain where you are.

I work as a sysadmin and had a user in my building call us about one of these emails. I didn't say it out loud but, if it wasn't true, why would he even feel the need to ask if it was real or possible?

Probably doesn’t need saying, but no matter how tempting- NEVER reply. That just gets you put on an even better spam list.

Earlier they used breached passwords associated with the email address to try to add some credibility. They don't bother now. Just another scam meme to join the rest for eternity.

"I'm actually considering doing this for a living, so please go ahead and make me famous. Maybe we can collaborate".

Seriously though, as said elsewhere, never reply to these.

You got video of me jerking off for free!? I charge extra just for getting to look at it. Bitch you owe me money, not the other way around!

What op should say to them

The first rule of blackmail: supply proof. Not hints or riddles; proof. If they don't attach pictures (or a severed thumb, whatever) it's nonsense.

From the spammers' perspective, though, they sent millions of emails like this at basically zero cost; my catch-all mailbox for five domains gets about a dozen a day. If one moron pays up it's work it to them.

I’ve gotten that same one a couple of times, even giving me an old password for my email to try to make it look legitimate. Only problem is they always say they got me on my webcam, and I don’t have a webcam to catch me on 🤷‍♂️

Damn. 5 Times a Day? Aren't you getting sore or anything?

Who even has their webcam pointed that low?

I can appreciate that the plot twist wasn't: "I don't jerk off"

Threaten them with a copyright strike...

It sure would be awkward, but I don't think I would even be concerned enough about a video like that. It wouldn't even show the thing I'd be watching.

Invest some time in transferring to a new email address but also an email alias service. That way you never give out your new email address to anyone and give each site/service you use its own alias.

This same thing happened to you twice in 4 months?

That's cool, I mean, I guess people might pay you to stop showing a video of me jerking off to them, that's probably horrifying for other people to see.

No, I get it. They'll need expensive therapy after watching that.

My boss got this one once. He asked me if we needed to scan our network for malware.

You think people would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

I love spammers who try to shame me into paying them. Good luck trying to kink shame a furry who's given up hiding it. You try doing that and I'll show you the kinda porn that makes me uncomfortable.

Yeah this is an old ones I've seen it evolve over the years. I always read it out to my partner so we can laugh.

I also never click links I emails, but this has been going on long enough that they must make bank off of morons who are doing things they are afraid of others to know about, and I bet some pay each time they get this.

I would be out about 14k USD by now if I were paying.

Plot Twist: They downloaded WebCam

These days if I felt inclined to respond I’d just tell the scammer that somebody already created deepfake AI porn of me so nothing they could possibly have to release would bother me…

You don't have any webcams, that you know of.

they gotta pay me licening fees to depict my awestriking appendage's likeness. Imma copyright strike them and their moms
