Nasty Phishing Emails Making The Rounds.

[Pinkpoison]

I received a very nasty email 5 days ago (only saw it today) on my Mac ......
My email address was spoofed......
Supposedly they installed a Trojan virus and are now controlling all my accounts, they supposedly have videos of me on porn sites and videos of me doing certain things, they've made threats to send it all to friends and relations, told me not to go to the police etc ........... it's all rubbish of course ......
They demanded money with promises to delete everything ......
In all the years of being online I've never had such nasty spam, like everyone I've had spam of course but this is very nasty.
I forwarded it to Apple....
If any of you get this don't panic, just forward it to Apple and then delete it.

Thanks for letting us know. I hope it can be traced.

I doubt it, these scammers hide behind their screens and nothing is ever done.
