It's a scam. Ignore and delete.
The entire purpose of Pegasus is to secretly spy on high profile targets. It would be the exact opposite of the purpose to tell you you're infected.
This came from myself to myself!!!
I get those at least a few times a week. Usually the same tired scam of claiming to have videos of me doing something naughty. But oh!, if I send some random amount of money to a Bitcoin account, they promise to delete them.
Thank you.
i never click a link and if an email comes in I hold on the address and block it.

when I hold on my name that sent it, it comes up with my own contact name and all the info associated with my own contact name.
Thank you, that’s exactly what it says.
