Scam Email?? says my iCloud account stolen

I've received a threatening email that "appears" to have come from my account, when I click on the email it says I need to pay xxx USD and they have videos of me doing things I have clearly not done. Claiming a program Pegasus has been installed on one of my devices.


I'd write it off immediately except for one thing.. I use an @me account, but I think this is coming from the associated @iCloud account.


Anyone know if this is a known scam??

I got that same email on my iCloud account. I guessed it was a scam and deleted it. Good to read I was correct.
