Its like a lazy attempt to copy an old effective scam. Extortion doesn't work very well when they don't actually freeze you out of your machine and or provide the video evidence they are threatening to release.

A long time ago there was a pretty effective group in Morocco running something like this, but they actually either encrypted your HD and gave a countdown timer the payments had to be made by, or they provided screen shots of the person targeted in a compromising position (because they were running some honeypot camgirl op on them).
