Just another run of the mill blackmail scam, basically saying they were hired to target you specifically. And that their client paid them however much and they want more from you in Bitcoin.

Haha, gave us a good laugh at your weak attempt to phish, even trying to use personalized info (that is quite incorrect I might add). Good try.. I'll give you a passing grade of "C" for effort. #HoneyPotCollectorCollaborationCooperativeTeam (HPCCCT) (you won't find us, so don't even try. We'll find you)

E-mail referencing publicly identifiable information - "I wouldn't spill the tea here, since your company IT guy could see it and might want to use it against you too. So here's my offer. I was paid $1,000 to execute this hack, so if you can pay a reasonably higher amount up until Sunday, I'd contact my employers telling them the hack was unsuccessful then refund them still in."

Extortion email including some publicly available details. Similar to other reported. "I have but a few words to share with you, so I'll be as precise and brief as possible. Recently, I performed an MITM attack and intercepted you network; infiltrating your personal devices "

Typical blackmail scam, makes use of publicly available information. Consider getting a real job.

I have but a few words to share with you, so I'll be as precise and brief as possible. Recently, I performed an MITM attack and intercepted you network; infiltrating your personal devices (both mobile (604) 638-1212 and PC) and duplicated every vital piece of information. I did this not as a personal motive as we don't know each other and have absolutely no purpose to target you either, but you do have a whole lot of bitter enemies—a group of them hired me here in Richmond. So today, I checked your socials and felt a bit of guilt because you seem to be the good guy in this context and I really don't like being a villain but even you understands we do a lot of bad things for money and survival. Yet and still, ruining someone's life is quite diffrernt and that's the reason i'm emailing you now. Like imagine loosing your job as Accounts Payable at Wales McLelland Construction, loosing all of your reputation and making it difficult to get rehired, having the Mitchley's haunted and blaming you for everything—I can't stress this enough, considering the extremely fierce damages the harvests from my hack could hatch. I wouldn't spill the tea here, since your company IT guy could see it and might want to use it against you too. So here's my offer. I was paid $1,000 to execute this hack, so if you can pay a reasonably higher amount up until Sunday, I'd contact my employers telling them the hack was unsuccessful then refund them still in. Again Cornel! the good life you've built yourself is all on the line right now. If you decide to ignore this message, still good and fine. At least I'll know I washed your blood off my hands and tried to do some damage control. My BTC (Bitcoin) Address: 1MXGToFQ1rQNe3Ya67SEYcTBLd61d4Ti5a Have a good day.
