Cyber blackmail threats
I've been receiving threatening messages sent through my Contact Page demanding alternative currency payment by a certain date, or else they will destroy my business and destroy me. Has anyone else received these? I've reported it by filling out a form on the federal government site, but is there anyone who knows what else can be done? Thank you.

I also receive a few of these messages, says from a Michaelcride. I marked them as spam. Not sure what else you can do. I opened the email, clicked on the IP address in the upper corner and got some info about the IP being a Low threat from somewhere in Zurich.

I received four emails yesterday with the same threat - plan on reporting to FTC. Not sure what else to do.

You can forward any suspicious emails to spoof@squareup.com
It would also be a good idea to make sure the CAPTCHA option is enabled for the contact forms. After you enable the option make sure to save the form and re-publish the site. Note: You may not see the captcha option if you are testing the form. It works on the backend, but may not display for everyone.
