There are more of them and they are easy to find through search engines, for example 1, or 2.
Thanks! Made report about him. It seems that's not first time when this BTC adress was reported. Nothing surprising, considering that he reuse that address.

He actually got your password somehow I mean he probably get that from other scam websites or probably it was the scam website that sent that email, I do manage my password on a notebook to avoid this I put a different password on different accounts and different websites, same as you do I do this exclusively on important websites, I don't even know the password of some of my accounts so I need my notebook to look at it most of the time, sometimes its a hassle doing that but it helps secure my accounts.

I mean you would really send this kind of amount of money to someone if they really have a sensitive file I might just accept that it's already on the internet, doing transactions with someone like him would just lead to more for sure.
I also don't remember my passwords of all websites that I use, especially if I visit it rarely. I haven't wrote all my passwords to notebook, so, sometimes I have to click ''Forget password button''
And yeah, good point. If he really have such sensitive information, you won't be safe after paying ransom.

I've also used the website haveibeenpwned.com and have suffered plenty of leaks. I've changed my password multiple times, but my email is still being targeted. Is there a way to save it, or should I just dump it?
If your email address got into these spam databases, there is no way to prevent getting such kind of messages. If you really don't want to get it, only option is to dump that address.
