I've gotten quite a few spam emails from the same @ address, and some that somehow have my email address. Wish I knew how to stop them. I just dump them into the Junk folder and list them as Phishing.
These two weren't from the same source, but the message was similar...which pretty much f***ed them up in making me take their threat as credible.
Seriously, when your blackmail e-mail mentions how they have full access to your computer and they'd like so and so amount of bitcoins in this BTC Wallet in this timeframe, they won't spread the "depraved" stuff I am supposedly into, it kind of ends up sounding...lame.
If you seriously had full access to my homesystem, if you'd like to make your blackmail credible, you could have made my system open a window with your threat message that cannot be closed. Or set it on a timer so it bricks my system when the time runs out.
So yeah, fake threat mail goes to garbage to be destroyed, and I'm left feeling irritated because I want to 100% track these braindead idiots down for a chat. A completely violence free "chat".
Makes me curious if these jokers are a bunch of brats who are feeling the burn for pocket money. The tone of the blackmail was juvenile enough IMO.
