Peel police warn of a new extortion scam involving emails that threaten to expose intimate photos unless victims pay $2,000 in Bitcoin.
Police advise not to comply with extortion emails, as scammers often use personal information acquired through phishing to coerce their victims.
'If you have received an extortion email, do not comply with the threat,' police emphasized, warning that sharing personal info can lead to further victimization.
'Don't open emails, files, or links from unknown sources,' police recommend, urging vigilance about personal information shared on social media.
