Description
I received an email - referencing a previous address of mine and picture of the park across the street. The scammer then said they had loaded the Pegasus spyware on my phone and could see everything I was doing and watching. They claimed to have videos of my watching "disgusting" things and would post them on my platforms to all my contacts if I did they not pay them $1950 in Bitcoin. They provided a Qcode to pay it. I did not access it. They also said I had to pay "right away" or they would move forward to embarrass and humiliate me. The email was very threatening and aggressive. I knew better than to react - but wanted to be sure to report to help others. the
