Hi, Anyone here have experience getting an email from unknown (SPAM folder). I use Yahoomail & received an email from a random person saying that they have hacked my email account & demanding money within 48 hours or else they will lock my device after 48 hours. Is there any way to prevent from the device being locked?

Here is the think you should also consider if you pay what guarantee you have that they will not continue asking for more so paying is not a solution
