I received 6 of these emails from October through December. They're all similar, but contain slightly different subject and body text. They refer to the same password I haven't used in a decade, although at that time I used it on a number of services, so I'm unsure of the source.

They all talk about having access to my computer, a recording of me watching porn, and threaten to send it to my contacts unless I send 700-850 USD to a Bitcoin address. The payment amounts and Bitcoin address is different in each of the emails.
