I'm anxiously waiting for my next Nigerian prince or more recently, dude who's managed to hack my computer.

The newest scam I received. I got an email saying that he'd hacked my computer and accessed the camera and microphone. He now had, probably, hours of video of me "watching" porn and unless I sent him $200 USD in BitCoin he was going to send the video to my entire email address book.

My computer has no camera dude.
