Turns out it's just a run of the mill bitcoin blackmail letter in a pdf file. I should read it very carefully, they will visit <my name> in <my city> if I don't act, they totally control my phone and my laptop, etc.

Basically this scam but with more personal info included: https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2020/04/scam-emails...


I got those daily as well, very funny some of them use my old address with an even older google street view before the home was built, claiming they just "visited your house yesterday"
