Scam Warning
Australian police are aware of an email scam where users are requested to pay bitcoin to prevent the release of embarrassing footage. The scammers attempt to establish credibility by including one of the user’s actual passwords, sourced from previous data leaks published on the internet. The threats are not credible and no footage exists. The emails should be disregarded.
Police within the Riverina Police District have taken reports of this nature in recent weeks and are calling on members of the public to be wary of fraudulent emails and to not fall for this scam.

... About 1pm, Police from the Riverina PD Proactive Team approached a 19 year old male inside a licensed premises at Ashmont. The male was searched and proceeds from the armed robbery located upon him; including a key to the stolen Ford Focus and some jewellery.
