    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.

      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.

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

    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?

    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!

    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 🤷‍♂️

    I can appreciate that the plot twist wasn’t: “I don’t jerk off”

    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.
