    I received a random email stating it had video of me watching porno in a compromising way and threatening to expose the videos to friends. No way there is video like that (unless fake via AI).

    I was given 48 hrs to send money or videos would be shared.

    What do I do? I’m guessing it’s all a scam but not sure.

    Thanks!

    Nancy,

    I would not respond to it. Hopefully, John or Jeremy will see the post during this week and provide more insight.

    Good luck,

    Ken

    I had the same thing just a week ago. Am trying to determine what to do. Under the assumption they might have my info from my iPhone (passwords passkeys, Wallet) I have been changing user names, passwords and email addresses. Am wondering if I should get a new phone number.

    Any thoughts anyone on next steps. I didn’t reply or click any links
