I got example 1 verbatim about a month ago complete with Google street view picture of my house. Jokes on them, all of my porn viewing is on an ancient tablet that does not have a front facing camera.

I got one a couple years ago that included an old password I had used to use. It was sent to my work email but because it had that info in it I did legit get scared…until it said it recorded me jerking it over my webcam. I don’t have a webcam.

I’ve got this one about 15 times. I sometimes read it out to my partner for the luls. I never keep a web cam attached to my computer, so I find it even more hilarious with the details they go into about my jerking activities and the questionable porn I watch (everything I enjoy is insanely tame lol)

They really are just looking for the lowest common denominators.
I don’t have a webcam attached to my desktop, and my laptop is any other use for work, and anyway it has a physical plastic cover over the camera.
A lot of people will have a very similar setup so it’ll be very obvious that they don’t have anything. The only people this will actually catch out are those with a guilty conscience.
I bet they have a disproportionate number of politicians pay up

Me too. They had an old address I lived at five years ago. I’m shaking, I’m shaking.

That’s the way to win. Never fill in your actual address. Just keep them trying and make up new fake addresses as soon as you can.
