About two hours ago, I received an email to the

cctech/cctalk.
It claimed my email account had been hacked and threatened all sorts of
dire consequences if I didn't deposit $1000 in bitcoins in some place within
48 hours.
They usually say "this message was sent from your account"
as proof you've been hacked, but at least for me, the
received-from address is NOT mine. So, I know the thing is
bogus.
This particular scam is quite common right now.
