I received a rather terrifying email this morning....

I am not a dramatic person...hmmm maybe I am... but I was trawling through my spam email looking for a booking confirmation for a Nairobi hotel (our next tennis tournament) as I need it for the visas we require, and I found this email message below. It was sent to the email of a website I manage for a doctor in the UK, it has shaken me because of course I do not want any of the threats to be carried out. It would be a disaster. What are your thoughts on this? Just another scammer trying to scare the shit out of people? Or should I report it ? but to who?

Its in two photos below.

Thanks guys, just need reassurance I should do nothing.

Just when you thought spamming was getting more sophisticated, along comes this primary school effort.
Worry not helen, just
a) if you are using Outlook, just apply "rules" to the email and dump all similar mails from this person into junk mail, and
b) just delete the email.

Best regards

thanks Terry... Ive reported it and calmed down... I was only looking for a hotel booking that I had been told had been sent but could not find thinking it might be in the spam folder and out popped that !

As scary as this looks, it's definitely spam. Just delete it

I got the same email but it was some idiot saying they got a video of me playing with my monkey. Bunch of desperate clowns. I write am back telling them I got a video of them getting busy with their mother. Lol

Helen, I wrote an article about this. I will send it to you in pm with all the info what you can do and what you should do.

Wicked eh. Report as Spam. 'Cause it sure is. Not a good feeling email for sure. Be strong Helen.

LOL Helen they haven't even asked a price. Sloppy

Purely spam/scam...nothing to worry.

What else was in your spam filter?

Dating Sites?

Missing Parcels ready for delivery?

African Prince needing to transfer you $20000000?

Are you going to respond to all these too?

It's a scammer, they are just looking for a quick buck from terrifying people. It is all emotional and they know website owners get jittery about stuff like this. Which is why you ignored most of the junk but this one got you all nervous.

They can be pretty clever these guys! Preying on our deepest vulnerabilities.

It was in the Spam Filter for a reason though, leave it there, better still move it to the delete forever folder.

Finally, I have a tool that can stop you ever getting emails like this again and remove you from ALL mailing lists!

Just Deposit 0.5 Bitcoin into my wallet and I will send the details right over...promise!

;)

Wow this is not nice. I have no idea how you should react, hopefully someone will be able to help you here.

Don't give it another thought, pure scam

Thanks Gordon... I felt the same.

Gordon's spot on, you and another few thousand would have had the very same e-mail.
