Scammer took his time - waited more than 24 hours to ask to do a video
call & kept delaying. The video being played was grainy, and I should've
known better since it felt fishy. A few minutes in, the scammer stopped
playing the video and played back the footage he had captured. Threatened
to send it to all friends & family, and then first asked for $3,000 and
then settled on $x
