Sent an SMS message claiming possession of a "compromising" video taken via phone camera, demanding 1300 USD in Bitcoin within 50 hours or else the alleged video would be shared with "all the contacts on your phone, email, and social networks". There was no evidence provided nor any personal information (such as email or passwords) offered as proof. The text message lacked grammatical errors but employed excessive spacing between words. The sender admitted to spoofing the email address from which the message was sent.
