Scammers offered me $5,000 to remove two of my posts

Hi guys,
Yesterday I read that Grace (@littlemama) had received a message from some scammers who claimed they would pay her $5,000 if she removed two of her posts where she exposes them.
I didn't check my inbox yesterday but I just checked it out and I see they have also sent me this message.

I haven't replied the email and I don't think it would be a good idea to get in touch with these people.
Honestly, I don't believe they would pay $5000 to take down my reviews. They could tell me to remove them and once it's done, they wouldn't send me anything. Or perhaps they would ask me for my information and sell it to other scammers.
I really don't expect anything good from them. They just want to "delete" anything or anyone that gets on their way.
I‘m earning way less than $1000 a month from my site and things are getting harder than before so it’s easy for me to get frustrated and lose hope after all the work I’ve done. So should I accept their offer? I will not accept it because I would lose traffic and I would feel very upset knowing that these scammers would take advantage of more innocent people...
Money is not everything even though it’s necessary to make some dreams come true. And it’s really dangerous when people who don’t have good intentions (like scammers) take it from people who need it the most, so if I can prevent this from happening I will continue to do what I have been doing until I’m allowed.
Anyway, I thought I would leave this here so that you can see how these scam artists operate and know what to do if they try to bribe you.
I hope you have a great day, take care =)
