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.

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.
