I just got an email from "Hacker" claiming they have my face and it is under review. It sounds like a scam or some sort so I didn't open the email for the potential risk. Has anybody received this email as well? I simply deleted it, but I still feel uneasy....should I also do something else?

I got one email today. It is really odds. It says it is because I visited ****. BUT I never ****!!!!!!!
I just received this same E-mail message. It says that the hacker has planted a keystroke logger in my browser and has already copied all of my files to a separate server. He said that unless I give him $500 in bitcoin, he would...... he didn't quite provide an exact "or else." The person who sent this email also claimed that they had a video of me taken from my webcam. I believe that the implication is that they are threatening to release the video of me alongside a **** they claimed I was watching. They also mentioned having all of my contacts. Some of the statements made by this person seemed rather generic, which is what has made me suspicious that this is a template email designed to scare people into paying money to him.
I have received that email about 6 months ago claiming they had a video of me and what i was Watching and if i didnt send them 800 bitcoins they would send it to all my contacts. I have electrical tape across my camera blocking it from getting a picture and i have a few contacts in my list of emails that are no longer used of a few friends. They are just trying to scare to paying. The only thing that caught my eye was a old password in the subject. I now change my password more often If they do have all they say they have they will probably send it anyway if you pay them or dont
It is a hoax, do not send them any money. I got the email twice and reported it to bitcoin. Sadly there are many people that have already sent them money. Do not reply to the message or send money. Just report it.
I got the same email twice, from Hacker your face under review is this just a hoax? Has someone any experience dealing with this.
I do have the same email standing in my inbox... It keeps sending me this and honestly I am kinda scared. Can this be a serious threat? What should I do? Just ignore and no matter what, don't answer?
