About Course
Some scam emails claim the sender has hacked your computer and recorded you, and demand payment in Bitcoin. They can be upsetting, but they are almost always bluffs sent to thousands of people. Learn why they sometimes include a real password, why you should never pay, and what to do.
Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course gives general information to help you recognise and avoid scams. It is not legal or financial advice.
