Hi,

    It is exactly the same script they always use. It is a scam, your account was not hacked.

    Hi,

    I was going through my junk mail. And that’s where it was at. It says since I opened the email I have 48 hrs to send bitcoin. It also has my email as send and receive, but I’m not sure why it was on junk and not as a draft.

    They said :

    I strongly warn you agaіnst the followіng:
    * Do not reply to thіs emaіl. I've sent іt from your Mіcrosoft account. * Do not contact the polіce. I have access to all your devісes, and as soon as I fіnd out you ran to the cops, vіdeos wіll be publіshed.* Don’t try to reset or destroy your devісes. As I mentіoned above: I’m monіtorіng all your actіvіty, so you eіther agree to my terms or the vіdeos are рublіshed.

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    If the message is on your inbox and the sender address is your own address, your account was not hacked. This is a known scam, the scammer changes the sender address to your own address, but he does not have access to your account, you can ignore and delete the message.
