Windows 10: BITCOIN EXTORTION

Hi.

I have been receiving about 20 or so e mails per day this past week,threatening an attack on my business website if I don't pay £1900

bitcoin by the first of june 2019.The threat is ,sending abusive emails to all my contacts,blogs detrimental to me, quoting ridiculous numbers these emails will be sent to.300.000 PEOPLE! and 900.000 emails,My biggest annoyance is the fact they are sent from my own e mail address into my contact page of my website.My data base is very small not even 20 contacts on it!So if these idiots do manage to execute their threats,i will end up with the biggest contact list in the world!!once I have apologised to all involved business couldnt be better!Morons!

:)

Bitcoin Virus

Anyone have any experience with The Bitcoin Virus? I do not have it, but am curious about it.

 

Bitcoins!

Could somebody give me a quick run-down on the process of selling on bitcoin-otc?

Not prices, etc. (can't do that in this thread) just the steps involved to get to the point where you can sell.

It would be a big help for me.
