What could possibly be strange about this?

Maybe somebody has posted his video's already, but James Veitch is just hilarious in replying to spam/scam emails:

[chalsall]

A client of mine received the below.

Amusing, the password given has never been used by the client. Second, the client is a woman, and doesn't visit porn sites. Third, she doesn't have a web cam on her machine...

I know [REDACTED] is your password. Lets get directly to point. None has compensated me to investigate about you. You do not know me and you are most likely thinking why you're getting this e mail?

actually, I actually placed a software on the adult vids (porn) web site and there's more, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your browser started out working as a RDP with a key logger which gave me access to your display screen as well as webcam. Right after that, my software collected your complete contacts from your Messenger, social networks, and e-mail . And then I made a double-screen video. 1st part displays the video you were watching (you've got a fine taste : )), and 2nd part displays the view of your web cam, yea it is you.

You do have 2 alternatives. Shall we take a look at these possibilities in details:

First alternative is to ignore this e mail. Consequently, I most certainly will send out your video to just about all of your personal contacts and then you can easily imagine concerning the embarrassment you will see. And likewise if you are in an affair, exactly how it will certainly affect?

In the second place choice will be to pay me $1000. Let us regard it as a donation. In this case, I most certainly will straightaway delete your videotape. You could go on everyday life like this never occurred and you will never hear back again from me.

You'll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you don't know this, search for "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).

BTC Address: 1HXBmX63jwKPrrwDihAAtFu24HURh3CPA2
[CASE-SENSITIVE, copy & paste it]

If you may be thinking about going to the authorities, well, this mail cannot be traced back to me. I have covered my steps. I am just not trying to charge a fee so much, I simply want to be paid for. You have one day in order to make the payment. I've a special pixel within this mail, and right now I know that you have read through this message. If I don't get the BitCoins, I will certainly send out your video to all of your contacts including family members, coworkers, and many others. Nevertheless, if I do get paid, I will destroy the video right away. It's a nonnegotiable offer, therefore please don't waste my personal time & yours by responding to this e mail. If you want to have evidence, reply with Yes! and I definitely will send your video to your 8 contacts.

Is that something you assumed or do you know this for a fact? (Just food for thought. Feel free not to answer it).

I think that he might know about it, since he can look at the logs for the machine. Also, he can remote into the machine and check for a camera that was installed after he delivered it. Also, it might be that he knows the client well. Maybe the nuns had him install net nanny software on their machines.

I got a similar message a few months ago, but the amount was only $325, not $1000. I guess my videos aren't that juicy.

I know, this should be in the "Silly picture thread," but...

Emphasis added by me... I'm just as surprised as they are!

The said Mrs. Dewi Jesica confirmed to us today that you are dead and demands that we change the fund payment information which you gave to us as the rightful beneficiary to her's. Your fund payment which is at the tune of $7.5 Million US Dollars is ready but we need your reconfirmation.
The bellow are the information's that she forwarded to us to replace your payment information's:
