How far are these extortionists prepared to go. Is there nothing they will not stoop to.
This is sick. In my view, what the bookmakers should do is totally ignore it and have the threat HIGHLY publicised, possibly by way of advertising in the media that they are experiencing criminal attack and as such any emails received supposedly from them can be totally ignored.
The cost of advertising may be more than (and I havent got a Euro symbol on my keyboard) 7000, but it would be money better spent.
Instead of keeping quiet about it, the bookmakers should shout from the rooftops that they are being targeted, and play these people at their own game. ie.. "OK, come and attack us, send your stupid porn emails. We have told as many as possible about you and they know it isnt us."
