Yes. Ignore it. Had a couple from different people but it’s a common scam and it’s not real. They can’t do anything

Do you mean on here or other email accounts?

This is a common scam based on the news that people including celebrities have been recorded on skype and bl@ckmailed by foreign gangs. The email ones are just trying to strike fear into people. They don’t know what you’ve been up to and don’t have videos in my experience. I received one around three months ago on an email address that is never used for anything like Fabs. I replied back saying that if he knew me, he also knew what I was capable of and that my associates would be catching up with him in the very near future unless he ran fast and hard. Unfortunately, my reply bounced so he never saw my threat.

Just ignore them.

Never reply to scams, even to take the piss. All it does is confirm the email is valid.

By that I mean your email address is valid.

Phishing scams that use the not unreasonable assumption that most men wank to internet porn. Plus you've probably had a data breach, username, password and email.

I keep getting emails from 'ebay' saying they've received payment for stuff which I haven't bought. No money taken out off accounts either,

"Never reply to scams, even to take the piss. All it does is confirm the email is valid. "

I try not to even open up emails that look like they could be unsolicited. Some of them include images which are downloaded when you open it, or a tracking pixel, which confirms to the sender that the emails are being opened and therefore a valid email address. If in doubt I send them to my spam email folder then delete from there.
