Ignore it, it's a template and all bluffing.
It's based on scraping exposed data sets, finding any old email and password combination, and then emailing the template to them.
Note that the actual threat has no specifics of your social media accounts, etc.

If you look up that bitcoin address at blockchain.info you'll probably see that lots of people have fallen for it.

Yes - it’s nonsense.
You could consider ways to wind them up though for shits and giggles.

Same happened to me .. I asked them which sex sites I’d visited and the list they sent barely scratched the surface so I knew it was a scam.

@William.
Someone is trying to blackmail me. I'm almost certain they are bluffing about most of this, any advice appreciated. Anyone experienced this?
They know an old password for some online retail site, all others have been changed.
