virus alert scam Upon receiving this email posing as AppleCare that my MacOS HighSierra 10.13.6 desktop was infected with 3 viruses, I did the scan but did not download any software or virus removal. Is it possible that my personal info was stolen? Mac OS HighSierra 10.13.6

Genieo Malware on my Mac I got an email that appeared to be from my email account, from me, that was an image, no text, that said malware had been placed on my computer and was logging all my keystrokes and that everything I was doing was being monitored. I was instructed to send $1000 in bitcoin to the perpetrator or he would email everybody in my address book with embarrassing photos. I scanned the system with Sophos Endpoint and found Genieo in the trash with a couple of Flash installers. I emptied the trash. and ran a Malwarebytes scan, which found no malware. I followed instructions from Sophos forun about files to look for that may be linked to it. None were found. Genieo has been implicated in raiding keychains and locking users out of their computer. Does it allow access to the entire Mac file system and does it log keystrokes and watch everything I do? Is this a extortionist's bluff. The extortionist claims that every time I would change a password, he'd be recording it.
