Plot twitst: I dont have any webcams. Lol.
Hello, my perverted friend.
I’ve come to wank with you again.
On a webcam soft-ly stroking
To a vid of extreme poking
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
The art
Of coitus
Congrats, y’all are the first ever post in Lemmy Sings!
I had a terrible flashback of Reddit where everyone would make the same reply over and over and over

You pos
Edit: I don’t mean it, I love you
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’ve gotten one of these before but they did some weird spoofing thing that made the email appear to come from my own email address, and they did this “aha see! I am in your account you can tell because I sent it as you!” thing.
It was a good laugh
Yeah, I remember “doing this weird spoofing thing” to send email as Santa from the North Pole. It was a real hit with the relatives. Good times.
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 can confirm they do still bother; I received an email doing this earlier this week.
Ok, I stand corrected. I think the original scam is just outnumbered now.
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
“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.
Damn. 5 Times a Day? Aren’t you getting sore or anything?
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 🤷♂️
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.
Often a low-effort alternative to this is to use the “plus addressing” trick: username+whateveryoulike@domain.tld
The example above routes to username@domain.tld, but you can track and filter on the extra tag portion.
Granted, it doesn’t have universal support, but it’s somewhat widespread at least.
This works but has a number of downsides.
Eg hackers just have to remove the +portion to have your email address. You also can’t send emails out via any of those addresses.
Threaten them with a copyright strike…
Have they learned nothing from that plagiarism video?
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.
