   Hi,
    I'm a security researcher for a site you frequent.I think it is wise to respond back to me so we can discuss returning the stolen bitcoins. If you do not return them I will dox you, forward to your authorities and you will get to enjoy prison for some time.
    So, what do you want to do?
    I have your IP addresses, contact to Everest. And am waiting on you.
    Return the bitcoins to: 1SEC1BS5wFDSToi1v3RubV9PjCSSPa6s9
    As for the Litecoins I think we can talk about that.
    Email me back ASAP.
    Thanks.

    Hi Anton,
    I suggest you check your email.
    We need to talk.
    Time to return the bitcoins you have stolen.

After this messege, I was interested. I opened the links in first email, and read about him. He positioning hisself as an "Robin Hood" of the Internet, which "returning stolen cryptocurency". But this is not. This hackman founded my account in Vcontacte and get my ip. So why I telling thst he is an fraudster and extortionist:

1. How did he know my mail from the beginning? On specialized forums it is closed, to get it would be only by hacking the site (which incidentally observed in autumn on btcsec). Ie This fellow could be involved in breaking the forum. Another option receive mail -he could hack someone of fork pools, I used this mail on many of them. There he could also take my ip.... So he is still a crook.

2. From what he took that I "stole" the money? What the cryptocurrency system are now works by e-mail?  Grin Ie he is just a extortionist

Why am I writing all this - to ensure that such ghouls could not develop their resources "support" network, simply fooling people. And I ask the administration somehow punish member se[c].
