Microsoft@powerapps scam

Question

I have recently received two emails saying that they will release my public information unless I pay them just over $1,600 to be paid into their bitcoin

When I click to see who it's from it says Microsoft@PowerApps both emails were exactly word for word. Obviously I don't want to pay them. Is this serious or should I ignore it?

Hi, JackAtherton1.

I'm Jen, I'm also an Outlook user just like you. I'm not working for Microsoft but I'd be happy to help you figure this out.

I understand you received a suspicious email requesting payment. It's also good to know that you did not engage in the transaction. I've seen an article about this and it looks like you're not the only one who experienced this. You can also check the article that I shared below.

Feel free to share how it went.

Kind regards.

It asks for a secure IP address and I'm not sure what it's asking for because it won't accept the 192 that I have. And when you press the I it tells you what not to use but doesn't give you an example of what it wants
