NT -Email says my website hacked - REALLY?

Got a bulk email this morning in several languages saying my website has been hacked and they are going to release information from my databases if I don't pay up in bitcoin.   It also said that if I pay up, I don't have to worry about any of my clients finding out because bitcoin is anonymous.  

My website has nothing on it except my name and contact info plus info about my business.  There are no databases containing anything related to any clients.  I hope the fraudsters distribute it far and wide.   I need some new clients.

Once in awhile I get a text in Chinese. Fortunately I don't understand it so I delete it🙃

Don’t you know you’ve won the China Lottery and you’re a multi-millionaire?  All you need to do is send them $495 and your bank account info. It’s all legit - they just need to validate who you are.
