That’s100% a scam. They spoofed it to look like it was sent from yourself, but it wasn’t. Forward it to Apple per their instructions at Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


For peace of mind you can also change your iCloud/Apple account password following Change your Apple Account password - Apple Support

This is the “pervert” scam. It’s a common scam. Many previous discussions around the ‘net.


And as mentioned, the sending email addresses was faked.


Faking the sending address is trivial, and how a number scams work.


There are no compromising photos, and no compromising videos.


No need to change your Apple Account password here.


Separate from this spam scam, you should have two-factor authentication enabled, though.

Report this to Apple and Others:

That is a scam. So, forward this screenshot off to Apple. Inform them that a screenshot of a scam is attache dot this email. Send it to the eMail address: reportphishing@apple.com. You can also report this to the Federal Government. For a more detailed description, see my User Tip: Using the Photos App to Report Scams.
