How have Bitcoin scammers evolved their tactics to make their schemes more believable?

Bitcoin scammers have significantly sophisticated their approach by personalizing their threats with victims' real information. Rather than generic messages, they now use victims' actual names and addresses in their extortion attempts, making the scams more frightening and credible. The clip describes how scammers claim to have installed spyware and recorded compromising activities, threatening to release this content to friends and social media unless a Bitcoin payment (around $2,000) is made. These tactics create fear by demonstrating they possess personal information, preventing victims from contacting authorities, and establishing urgency to coerce immediate payment.
