I find the most annoying thing about this particular scam (apart from the fact that it is pathetic!) is that they claim to have accessed my email account (which I have checked, and it is secure), and somehow use my email address as the apparent origin, thus circumventing my junkmail protection program, so the damn thing pops up again with a slightly new iteration every couple of days. Unfortunately my website a/c wasn't initially as secure as it is now (I set it up in more trusting/naive days), and some idiot hacked its password, presumably then putting it out on whatever "dark web" chat site that these low-lifes frequent...

It is all rather sad really: some people need to get a life.

BTW, I thought I would have a look at the site that AndyG referenced, and my protection software refused to open it, saying it was a possible source of malicious code...
