The Doylestown Township Police Department would like to make residents aware of a new extortion/scam that is becoming more popular. Here is how it works. You will receive an email with your name, address, and telephone number. The sender will claim he knows all about you and has installed malware on your computer and has embarrassing photographs of you. The sender will request money in Bitcoin in return for not posting the photographs.

This is a scam. Have no fear, your computer and data were not compromised. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us. Have a great rest of your day.

Sincerely,
Sgt. Shaun P. Magee #103
Doylestown Township Police Department
