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 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?

    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.
