Fake email saying they have hacked my email, and demanding I pay $1,000 in bitcoin. They included my OLD password which was really scary in the subject line. DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!! They use bots to find old passwords posted online. Email the person and try to extort a ransom... which is completely fake!!!!

This account has been hacked! Change your password right now!

getting this emails daily

This is the second email I have received from this person. Same message in both. They honestly are funny to me because the English is broken and there are so many factual errors in them down to the fact that my computer doesnt have a webcam and I can honestly say I have never visited a porn site in my life. I am a woman and frankly porn is gross and destructive. Anyways, they are just throwing things at the wall and seeing what will stick. Dont fall for it.
