If you got an email bomb threat today, you're not alone as people all over the country have received similar threats.
Authorities say at this time those threats are just hoaxes.
The email says that a bomb has been planted and the victim must send money via Bitcoin in order for the bomb to not be detonated.
The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office says while these emails are a hoax people can still contact the authorities if they see anything unusual or suspicious.
Police are working with the FBI to investigate every threat.
Meanwhile, authorities say hoax bomb threats were also sent to dozens of schools, universities and other locations across the U.S.
The New York City Police Department said the threats sent Thursday were meant to cause disruption and compel recipients into sending money and are not considered credible.
Some of the emails had the subject line: "Think Twice."
The Palm Beach County, Florida sheriff's office and the Boise, Idaho police said they had no reason to believe that threats made to locations in those areas were credible.
Across the country, some schools were closed early and others were evacuated because of the threats. Penn State University noticed students via a campus alert. Near Atlanta, people were ushered out of a courthouse.
We are aware of recent bomb threats made in cities around the country & remain in touch w/ our law enforcement partners to provide assistance. As always, we encourage the public to remain vigilant & to report suspicious activities that could represent a threat to public safety.
