I am being threatened with BlackMail if I don't pay. I can't block them because of there not being a domain name. How do I get rid of them

    Hi,

    This is Tin, sorry to hear that you're dealing for stressful email right now. I'll do my best to help. May I know if that email contains that they will close your account or deactivate it?

    If yes, probably its a phishing email and trying to hack your account. Please do not click anything on that email. Those phishing email seems to be sent randomly to any account and they are using multiple emails. So when you receive one, you can report it and just block that email. Kindly check the link below on how to protect yourself from phishing email.
