When receiving any type of emails like this you have to wonder if A it is possible and B. you would expect some proof. if he really had something on you he would have send you a link to said video or at least he would have quoted you one of the passwords he has supposedly captured.

Even if they quote you a password, it is still a complete scam, don’t pay him anything!

Definitely, these kinds of scammers rely on social engineering to achieve their goals. They apply emotional pressure to people through out right lies in an effort to manipulate you. He’s got nothing if you take the precautions you have mentioned. You could report him to one of the channels on youtube that waste scammers time if you really wanted, but these people will continue to fish for people to fall for their crap.

You’re most welcome. There are so many scams out there these days, so whenever we can we need to protect each other. Good that you posted here first, I’m sure there’s plenty of people that pay.
