    Those “we used your webcam to record you jacking off” blackmail messages. I got them several times, it’s always the same template, just the bitcoin wallet is different.

    “Pressevertriebszentrale” (PVZ) in Germany. They keep sending my grandma invoices about an alleged subsciption to a magazine she allegedly ordered. My gran is BLIND and the “proof” they sent us (a copy of the subscription order with “her signature”) had her name spelled wrong.

    They’ve been doing that for half a year now, with increasingly hostile demands, and they’ve been threatening to go to court for at least three months. Their alleged lawyer doesn’t even exist, and the same goes for the entire law firm he “works for”, which is something you can google easily within five minutes.

    To be honest, at this point I’d love to see them try and go to court with this bullshit just to see what happens, but they would be hella stupid to drag themselves to court with this situation. We’re going to just sit this one out.
