I love spammers/scammers/phishers. They humor me.

So I got this in my spam bucket today:

Unfortunately your data was leaked in the recent hacking of the Patreon web site and I now have your information. I have your tax id, tax forms, SSN, DOB, Name, Address, Credit card details and more sensitive data. Now, I can go ahead and leak your details online which would damage your credit score like hell and would create a lot of problems for you. 

If you would like to prevent me from doing this then you need to send 1 bitcoin to the following BTC address. 

Bitcoin Address: 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

You can buy bitcoins using online exchanges easily. The bitcoin address is unique to you. Sending bitcoin takes take, so you better get started right now, you have 48 hours in total.
Well, "Natalie"  (with a from aol.com, but a reply to juno.com - which is why it ended up in my spam bucket), seeing how the only thing you got from Paetron was my email address - since I never provided my tax id, tax forms, SSN, DOB, name and address (BTW, you didn't get my credit card information), you can go take a leak.

It's amazing that you think that I'm so dumb as to fall for your scam.

Jerk.
