Tourist spots, landmarks, shopping centers, are the target of a developing bomb scare in many major cities in the United States. It appears to be a nationwide e-mail extortion scam.

Tourist spots, landmarks, shopping centers, are the target of a developing bomb scare in many major cities in the United States. It appears to be a nationwide e-mail extortion scam. Scammers are sending emails demanding โ€œto be paidโ€™โ€™ by Bitcoin.ย Bitcoin is a non-traceableย currency.ย  The threat claims bombs are about to explode at city landmarks, tourist spots, schools, and shopping centers.

Many authorities are convinced this is aย fake extortion attempt, but evacuations are ongoingย everywhere in the United States

Officials continue to investigate the incidents, but they are believed to be a hoax.Visitors and locals should follow the advice of authorities.
