I just got an email from "Hacker" claiming they have my face and it is under review. It sounds like a scam or some sort so I didn't open the email for the potential risk. Has anybody received this email as well? I simply deleted it, but I still feel uneasy....should I also do something else?

    Again, do not fall for this scam! Whomever it is does NOT have ANYTHING on you. Ignore these people and they WILL eventually stop because they will see you're not falling for it and know there is nothing they can do.

    The text is not encrypted, the scammer just added in a few random characters between each letter to make it looks like encrypted. The scammer didn’t even bother to change the random letter between the letters, it is same through out the email. For example, the first word is “You” in some version of the email, when you copy it it may become “Y12345678o12345678u...” (12345678 is a example of random letter). It is obviously computer generated to pass the scam filter. DO NOT FALL FOR THE SIMPLE TRICK.

    According to what they indicated it would be not responding (which I did not answer) but I opened the email since it contained nothing in the attachment
