Ignore it and move on with your life.
Not easily.....................
Is your computer still operable?
If so, this email is a hoax. Just delete it. Maybe reboot.
I get all kinds of spam emails, even from the FBI. Many go straight to my spam folder. Some get through to my regular list.
I can help with that, I will pm you my bitcoin address and when you send me 1 bitcoin I will.
I know Satoshi personally and I am the only person who can help you find your scammers, well he could do it too but he won’t cause he is really not interested in matters of that sort.
More likely a scam email.
Wanking? He must think you live in England.
We know where the ransom software comes from. Every last one of them. We just have too many politicians in DC who take illegal bribe money to not take any action. Every polidiot in DC has their hand in foreign cookie jars, bar none.
This is most likely a fake ransomware email. Check the email account that they purport to have sent the message from. If it is not in your “Sent Items” folder, then it is a fake. They have just “spoofed” your email address to make it look like the email was sent from your account when it was not. If that is the case, you can safely ignore the email and nothing will happen.
Basically they are just fishing for people who will believe their story without verifying it.
Please, this thread does not need the pictures.
Seriously this one has been going around for years.
As others have posted, it’s not ransomware, just phishing. Most people wouldn’t worry about such an e-mail, as they don’t jerk off to porn on their computer. You on the other hand seem a little concerned... ;-)
That is not “ransomware.
Just another email scam.
Did they let Slo Joe play with the computer again? /s
(I agree on the phishing scam)
“I would like to report this to the FBI, but do not know how. Is there a way to track down the crooks by using their Bitcoin wallet and address.”
Al - it sounds like the crooks won’t get anything from you which is good news. The FBI may have other complaints / reports related to these same guys that they can correlate with your story. Providing your info to the FBI might be helpful.

I was Jake in NC.. But that's been a long time ago.. Take care.. d:^)
Switch to the CP/M operating system and it will fix everythng.
I had one of those and I would have never found if I hadn’t put an email in spam by mistake . They said they had my email and was tracking me online(with a throwaway email) , they wanted 5013 bitcoins , it got deleted . They were phishing looking for idiots
You want to report suspected Illegal Ransomware Activity by the FBI to the FBI?? You’re Killing me.
The government is not interested in protecting civilians or corporations from hackers. This was an actual decision made back in the ‘80’s. There is a group set up that appears to have that job, but it’s not dealing with individuals like us.
