Being blackmailed with scam email

    I found an email in my junk box this morning (first image). It appears to be blackmailing me. It says I have 48 hours from the moment I opened the email.

    I am wondering though; if this person knew specifics about me, or what I viewed, wouldn't they reveal them!

    It mentioned that I was following links from emails. I don't ever recall clicking on a link from a funny email.

    Wouldn't any email this person sends to my friends just go into their spam folder?

    I was asked to change the password on my hotmail account a few months ago, and choose one the I frequently use on other accounts.
