Denmark, 2018-10-30 15:38:40I logged into an old email address today that I haven't logged into for years and checked my spam box. I saw an email from myself written by someone else from Nov 13th that stated they were a hacker. They threatened to send screenshots of my supposedly indecent browser history to my contacts and stated that there is a "malicious programming code" that has been installed in my operating system. They asked for $900 in bitcoins and added their bitcoin address. They want me to pay within 48 hours of reading the email (they also said there is a Trojan that detects when the email is read) but I don't believe any of it. I would like to report them for this.
