Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your Microsoft account. I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisеly.Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners. It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I’m getting at.******

    I have the same issue

    What was interesting was that if I sent it from my own email, why would it go to the junk folder, I tested and it shouldn't. I have no idea how they did this, but it's very convincing.

    Same here. They tried to log in but were unsuccessful because I used OTP or Authenticator for each login. Later, they sent me the same email.

    Obvious SCAM, they ask me to pay ransom through a crypto wallet adress, and state that:

    ”…don’t forget that cryptocurrencies are anonymous, so it’s impossible to identify me using the provided аddrеss.”

    Using this logic, even if it would be real (which it isn’t) the money you send would have no trace to you and the ”hacker” wouldn’t know who sent him the money.

    ”Once I receive confirmation of the transaction, I will реrmanently delete all videos compromising you…”

    So how would you do this (hypothetically!!!!)

    (Don’t do it)

    Since he also states

    ”Do not reply to this email. I've sent it from your Microsoft account.”

    implying he would not respond, or even see the message
