@LTU_btc, have you perhaps checked the BTC address that was sent to you to pay the ransom for your alleged sins? It's already an old trick, but I'm really interested to see if scammers get away with it these days, even though I know that sometimes they send payments to themselves in order to convince potential victims that others are also paying.
In addition to the fact that such messages should be reported as spam, it would be good to report BTC addresses to some of the sites that collect exactly such addresses associated with various BTC scams - maybe someone will check the address and see that the whole story is fake.
Initially I haven't checked his address because I thought that he would make new address for each potential victim. Now I looked into it - now it's empty, but it received in total over 0.024 BTC in 2 transactions.
Where exactly I can report this address? I saw similar kind of websites, but now I don't remember their names.
https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Spam-and-Scams/Question1669132.htmlThese letters have been sent out since 2019. Just check the link and take a look at the date.
Therefore, you should not associate yourself with this unfortunate hacker at all.
Your mail was indeed included in the spam mailing list, and it is from this that such letters will be sent to you.
To protect yourself and your nerves, try not to subscribe with your email address to any garbage.
Thanks. It's new stuff for me. Indeed, that email address got into spam mailing list few years ago. Probably it would be best to abandon this email, but as I said, I only use it for low importance registrations, so, all that junk that I get there doesn't really bothers me.
