[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 1116741, member: 53544"] Classic extorsion e-mail. They don't have anything about you, they're just scaring you into sending them money. You're good. Block the sender. Many cybercriminals use embedded images or URLs to track your movements. If you click on the link or download the image in the mail, they sometimes will know it, and therefore know your e-mail is active and not dead. This way they will keep bothering you and threatening you, possibly even sending you malware. Beware of suspicious links, attachments or redirections. If you didn't download anything, you're probably fine. Out of curiosity, what antivirus are you currently using? Did you insert the link on your iPad from your PC, or did this whole operation take place on your iPad? [/QUOTE]
