Hi, I start a test group on 9 march 2019 (with another mail), and some time later (26 march) i receive e-mail seemingly from this email account with only a jpg image including a ransom request.
There is no direct link with the group, but an other member say to me he got the same thing (the day he was added to the group).

Take the subject line and just plug it into the search window on your web browser and you'll probably get dozens of hits. These are most all very vague, toothless threats. They likely list an old password that the recipient used at one time in the threat.
If you can go into "Properties" without opening the message, you might find it interesting to check the email source. My email handler gives me a menu to do this by right clicking on the message instead of left-clicking. Check on the source and scroll down to see where it originally came from. The original source of one I got came from
"Received: from net182-35-245-109.mbb.telenor.rs ([109.245.35.182])"
You'll note the nation code at the end of the address is RU - Russia. The first from address above this is my own address which has been spoofed to get around my spam filter.
These are just people trying to get money by phishing. They're probably buying old information sold by people who have hacked into old data somewhere. (Remember all those addresses and personal data stolen from Yahoo a couple years ago?) I find it interesting that most of these don't even tell you how to get bitcoins in the first place, showing an incredible ignorance of their target subjects.
The best thing to do is delete them without opening them.
I hope this helps.
