(This is the email scammers sent)
Hello, I work as a Private Investigator._x000D_
Our agency received a case with an objective of hacking into your email, phone, cloud storage, network and collecting intelligence._x000D_
We work with hackers from China for tasks like that, and they are the best. As you can see, they did a good job. Your accounts and devices are compromised._x000D_
But we do have an ethical protocol in place._x000D_
After checking the background of the person who paid for the hacking and investigation on you, I have decided to come forward and offer you to buy the information about that person (name, contacts, emails and other proof)._x000D_
You will also get a report on yourself (including a list of compromised accounts, devices, logs, screenshots, photos and documents)._x000D_
_x000D_
Normally, we do not disclose sensitive information about our clients, but in this case we will be._x000D_
_x000D_
Upon reviewing this case, I found that something illegal was planned against you. _x000D_
The materials we have collected on you are very sensitive and can be easily used to blackmail you._x000D_
We usually address personal and corporate espionage cases, but this case is different._x000D_
_x000D_
We have received a prepayment of 50% for your case from that person (total agreed upon cost was 12500 USD)._x000D_
However, I will give you a discount (without any profit for the agency), if you decide to buy this information._x000D_
Do not try to email me back. This is a throwaway address. I have to protect identity, because the nature of this job is illegal._x000D_
After I get the payment, I will get back to you. You have 2 business days to make the transfer. It will cost you 40% of the unpaid balance._x000D_
_x000D_
We will process $2,500 payment through bitcoin. In case you have trouble with bitcoin, google how to fund it._x000D_
Send BTC to this wallet 1yjQZMv2gQdpiMctyYk3vNRKbZiyGVN3t_x000D_

It will be up to you what to do after you get the information. We will delete all files. The original client will get nothing and will never know about our deal...
