We’ve come across a Bitcoin address being used in a scam extortion attempt:

🪙 Bitcoin Address: bc1q0h0l6q3pv2g7ep4nj6qjgg2uvxva6vchvacgfd

This address was included in a threatening email demanding payment in exchange for “confidentiality.” This type of scam typically relies on fear, intimidation, and false claims of compromising personal information. The tactics used are consistent with the common “sextortion” scams where scammers claim to have accessed personal devices or accounts.

The more we pool our knowledge, the better chance we have of exposing and stopping this scammer.

What we know so far:

• The scam email threatens to release compromising content unless $1,950 in Bitcoin is paid.
• The language and structure match common “sextortion” email templates circulating in recent years.
• The sender’s email address may be spoofed, and the threats are often empty, relying on stolen or leaked personal information to intimidate victims.

Please avoid making payments or responding to these threats. Any new information on this address or similar scams is greatly appreciated!
