When i checked mail this morning, i've seen a mail that was sent by me in Spam. It said:
"Hello

My nickname in darknet is roller654.
I'll begin by saying that I hacked this mailbox (please look on 'from' in your header) more than six months ago,
through it I infected your operating system with a virus (trojan) created by me and have been monitoring you for a long time.
Even if you changed the password after that - it does not matter, my virus intercepted all the caching data on your computer
and automatically saved access for me.
I have access to all your accounts, social networks, email, browsing history.
Accordingly, I have the data of all your contacts, files from your computer, photos and videos.
I was most struck by the intimate content sites that you occasionally visit.
You have a very wild imagination, I tell you!
During your pastime and entertainment there, I took screenshot through the camera of your device, synchronizing with what you are watching.
Oh my god! You are so funny and excited!
I think that you do not want all your contacts to get these files, right?
If you are of the same opinion, then I think that $300 is quite a fair price to destroy the dirt I created.
Send the above amount on my bitcoin wallet: 1GbXzSijkP1nPZjytwiscKg86CrMV1zFyK
As soon as the above amount is received, I guarantee that the data will be deleted, I do not need it.
Otherwise, these files and history of visiting sites will get all your contacts from your device.
Also, I'll send to everyone your contact access to your email and access logs, I have carefully saved it!
Since reading this letter you have 48 hours!
After your reading this message, I'll receive an automatic notification that you have seen the letter.
I hope I taught you a good lesson.
Do not be so nonchalant, please visit only to proven resources, and don't enter your passwords anywhere!
Good luck!"

So Was my mail hacked? What i have to do now? I don't use computer. Just use my iphone 7 plus. Thank you.
 
Email can be spoofed. Just google for "Email spoofing", you will know.

To me, it appears to be a spam, as the content of this mail can be applicable to anyone who use internet - and nowhere he mentioned anything that ties to you per what you posted above.
If he's really telling the truth, then you've to ask for confirmation that indeed he has your data.

I am not sure thats a good idea. Pretty sure that these mails are sent via an automatic system from a database of mail IDs. This is a surefire way to tell the so called hacker that this is an active email ID - the same reason I do not do an unsubscribe and spam.
 
Ignore and move on.. Nothing to worry...

Just explain this:
My nickname in darknet is roller654.[DOUBLEPOST=1544448995][/DOUBLEPOST]You should have posted email communication or whatever in raw/code/html format..
anyways.. nothing to worry
