  3. Got mine yesterday. It seems they had the password I used with Microsoft / Live / Outlook email. In a way it was good, since I didn’t even remember that I still had that account. I know what they claim is bogus, but still is really annoying to receive that.

    Anniegirls, they demanded only 2500 bitcoins from me. Why is my privacy worth less than yours?? LOL!!
