Bitcoin sextortion scams tend to email you to say they've videoed you on your webcam performing sexual acts in private, and ask you to pay them amount in Bitcoin to keep the video (which doesn't exist) private. This type of blackmail has become quite popular since the middle of 2018.Jan 7, 2021

Since I never invested in Bitcoin I dont open any emails from bitcoin. Or Coinbase or any other email that I don't recognize the sender.

Right. But the emails that I get references bitcoin. Even if it was legitimately from bitcoin I wouldn't open it.

They usually just demand payment in Bitcoin to make it untraceable.
