Your customers might find a tiny bit of solace in that rather conclusive evidence exists that the supposed videos do not in fact exist, anywhere. A rather significant subset of my "imaginary friends" (aka spamtraps) are at the receiving end of those campaigns at fairly frequent intervals. Your customers (and perhaps others) could usefully read my 2022 piece "The Despicable, No Good, Blackmail Campaign Targeting ... Imaginary Friends?" (https://www.nxdomain.no/~peter/despicable_no_good_blackmail.html or with nicer formatting plus G's trackers at https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-despicable-no-good-blackmail.html). Both versions have links to materials with more detailed information. All the best, Peter -- Peter N. M.
