I have received a mail that my Apple device is compromised I have received an email from an anonymous saying they’ve hacked into one of my devices and uploaded a trojan virus where they had access to my webcam and all my activities on all my devices and have footage of me and are blackmailing me into releasing it and sharing it with my contacts if I don’t make a bitcoin payment. I am really worried can someone help me ? Can this be true ? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

The message is a common scam. Do not interact with the message or the sender. Simply delete the message and move on with your day.
