    Okay

  25. Message 025 From Victim Victim Date

    So I was able to get 35,000.00 so far from friends which i have now. I understand this is your job and what your demanding so i can have mine back. I respect that even when i don't. But I checked your web and there are no guarantees. I have family and i work for this money, so loosing it is not an option for me. I need some type guarantee so i know your the guy and i wont be lied to and loose the money

  26. Message 026 From REvil Actor / other Date

    You can try trial decryption to make sure we unblock everything

  27. Message 027 From Victim Victim Date

    You messed up my entire work and life. The only way I will pay you is to be 100% sure you will release the files after I pay you. The only way you can prove me is I will pay 10,000.00 for 1 specific database file. If you agree let me know. And I don't know if that is also possible, I don't have any guarantee from you.

  28. Message 028 From REvil Actor / other Date

    We can agree to 35k and we guarantee that you will be able to decrypt all your files

  29. Message 029 From Victim Victim Date

    Hello

  30. Message 030 From Victim Victim Date

    We had 70% back up and i was able to hire IT guys to build me a new system and restore 70% of my data. I spent 12,250.00 for this and I don't have anymore the 35,000.00 I am willing to pay the balance to you to get the remaining data so I can continue with my life. Let me know what you want to do. I will wait on you. took long to get back to you as we were busy building a new system

  31. Message 031 From REvil Actor / other Date

    These are just your problems. Nobody made you pay other teams to get well. Our decryptor completed this in a few hours. 20% discount is all that we are ready to offer

  32. Message 032 From Victim Victim Date
