    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?

    “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.

    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?

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

    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.

    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.

    I love spammers who try to shame me into paying them. Good luck trying to kink shame a furry who’s given up hiding it. You try doing that and I’ll show you the kinda porn that makes me uncomfortable.

      I’m laughing as I type this but I am in fact scared to even imagine what could.

      But furry porn is a thing? Really? Outside manga and that sort of medium? That sounds hilarious to watch!
