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?

    A question

By any chance, even if he gave himself to this job by doing this email, due to the fact that he opened an email, even if it didn’t contain a file attached, is there any risk just for opening the email?

    Unfortunately I pened the email, and deleted it afterwards. I realized that it did not contain an attached file, then I passed an anti spyware (SPYBOT) and I cleaned my anti virus. I hope nothing serious has happened

    I do not think there is actually a virus or something in the email. It is just a scam, something to hoax you. I opens the email with my ios device though. It may be different from other device. I think the reason it make the mobile device froze or something is because the formatting of the email, there are too much character in the same area, like opening a really big and complex file, the mobile device take time to load. Just ignore and block the emails. There are similar scam emails, there is a reddit post shows examples of them.
