received an email with one of my frequently used passwords as subject title on 14 april.

sender has stated that he got access to my password and more compromising photos/videos that he will send to 10 random contacts in my network if i do not comply with sending over $2000 (in bitcoin) to him within 24 hours of receiving that email.
(it said that a computer code was inserted in the email so it will know when i have read it).

it gave me 3 options: 1) pretend that it's a bluff and ignore, 2) reply with "proof" or 3) pay out $2000 to it via bitcoin. option 1 will lead to mailing video footage of me to current social networks and phone connections.

the payment of $2000 is to wipe out everything it has concerning me.

I have yet to transfer any payment and have deleted the email as per what other victims have done in this scam alert page.
