Received this scam email , I have never owned BC:

Dear ,

Imagine if you had gotten Bitcoin many years ago. You could retire. But better late than never, you can let yourself flow in the next wave of cryptocurrencies.

We have found that you have unused Bitcoin balance in your account. You would like to get it back and trade with that or it will be deducted from your account.


If you wish, we can deposit the full amount on your personal trading account. But for that, need you to confirm your details below.


* Having problems seeing the balance in your account? Make sure that images are enabled in this email.

I have had another scam tried on me demanding payment of $7000 in Bitcoin.

The writer gave one of my passwords and claimed to have installed software on my pc that allowed him to see me visiting porn sites as well as taking over my webcam (I don't own one) and taking compromising videos to be sent to all my contacts.

The mail was sent to my business address and the password was the one I use for MyBroadband forum.

A Google search for a few words of the opening line brought up loads of results.
