Got hit on Aug 25th. Fortunately had backups from a couple months ago. I contacted them and this is what they sent (see below):
I made an agreement that I would send them money and they would send the decryptor. He said to send the money and I would get the decryptor asap. I sent money and never got anything. Does not reply to emails.
DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING... SCAMMERS!!!
