Hi,
This is a scam, they may know your email address due to a recent data breach or probably because you gave it to a suspicious site or clicked on a phishing link from your email account. You can use Have I Been Pwned to find out if your email address is in a data breach.
I recommend you to update your password immediately - check also your other accounts and update their password if you think there are also at risk. Then, scan your computer with your antivirus - try also Malwarebytes - to make sure there is no malicious activity.
Tell your friends and parents to follow the same process. Once again, don't pay anything and delete the message, this is a scam. You can also report the scam to the FTC by going to this page. For more information about this type of scam, see this article.
Good luck.
Sure will do but tbh in the french site i read about a guy receiving the same e-mail as mine and it was on the same date that he recieved it. So i think its just some scam shit hes doing

They just pretend to have videos of you or a screenshot of your computer screen. In truth, they have nothing. The so-called "proof" they may add to their message has been taken from the Internet. They only play on fear to make you pay.

Keep an eye on your account and computer for some time, but I think everything should be ok.
