Hello @Happy0
Yes. This is a scam email, do not send any money or crypto to these scammers. All claims are bogus and this is just a spam email that is being sent to thousands of people.

It's definitely a scam.
The aim is to scare you into paying a "ransom" in Bitcoin or reload coupons.

Don't pay, don't reply and delete the e-mail.

Don't reply and mark it as Spam.
These are all scare tactics just like how they call you here in USA and say that I am from IRS and need you to buy gift card or xyz dollars and give me that number otherwise cops will come to your house.
Unfortunately many people fall for these kind of scams even if they have not done anything wrong in their lives. Kindly ignore.

Hello Jack
I have received another email again.
I am too scared to open it.

Same as the other one : don't reply and mark it as spam. These are all scare tactics.

As for the authenticity of the threat, it's always wise to conduct a thorough digital investigation. This could involve checking the credibility of the sender, scrutinizing the content of the email, and perhaps even consulting with cyber security experts if needed.

In my opinion, it's crucial not to panic and to approach this situation with a level head. Often, these types of threats rely more on intimidation tactics than actual substance. However, it's still essential to take precautions and safeguard your digital privacy.
