Everyone receives junk emails. Just delete them and move on with your day. Your phone has not been hacked. They are just trying to scare you.


Some examples of those emails:

  • May start out with the "Hey Pervert" line claiming to have photos of you or websites you visited that they will send to your contacts.
  • Spoofing the sending address so you think that they sent the email from your own account.
  • Include a Google Street View of your neighborhood claiming to be watching you
  • Many demand bitcoin to be sent to them.
