How to identify a potential Spam Email?

I received this in my spam email. Can anyone offer input. I believe this is an old scam. Is any of this possible.


I will be direct. You often watch adult content, and I caught you masturbating


We all do it from time to time. How I did this Your router was vulnerable. I was able to inject some code into the firmware, and every


device connected on the network, including phones, was compromised, Then 1


set every device available to record with the camera only when you watch


adult content. I also got your contact lists, phone numbers, emails, social


media contacts, and here is the deal. If you don't pay me $5800


USD worth


in Bicoin, I will send your masturbation video, search history, and all your private chat to all your contacts and all social media

The "pervert" spam — entirely a work of creative fiction, as no breach, no malware, no virus, no naughty videos, no contact info collection, has happened here — and its many variations has been endemic. If the spammers had the access they claimed, they'd have provided you with a free sample of their claim, or would have already cleaned you out of ~everything of your data, too. As mentioned above, mark as spam, and get on with the rest of your day.
