Please read this link. I've received two of these emails, but I'm pretty savvy when it comes to this.

Might want a chuckle at the authors take on the scam: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/26/blackmail_video/

 

 

Also: electrical tape plus a small square bit of paper is a good cover for your webcam without ruining it.

Great link @sheepdog. Thanks for the laugh. The emails I received weren't quite as bad as that one, but they were along similar lines. Sadly, I've deleted and blocked the addresses, so I can't remember exactly what they said, but people should be made aware of the scam. They'll send out millions of emails, and if only a few gullible people respond, it's a result for them.
