Some other crook is attempting to operate through extortion.
It is a kind of personal contest found on the internet.
Now the stranger claims to be hacking. It’s just spoofing.
The malicious tricks of the megalomaniac. That is an unfounded statement. Never, ever. Blackmailers use fear to get what they want.
If this is too much for you, go to the police station near you. Our reader, who gave us the mail, went to the police as well, and he filed a very good complaint.
The more people complain about the stories continuing, the less likely it becomes for perpetrators to tell their extortion. Go into the public. Do what you can to ban them.
But never forget it’s scam. You can safely put the email in the trash. Most of the stories are untrue and just a trick. Scam, that is all.
