Another way then: create a script that sends hundreds of emails to the victim from different addresses (wallets) and different amounts; the victim cannot identify which email is from the actual scammer, therefore he will pay none and the scam chances of success would reduce, and with it -eventually- the number of scammers.

Do they really communicate by email after encrypting? Wouldn't it make more sense to communicate via a file on the owned desktop?
Forgot about that, yep, they leave a big message on your screen.

How will that get rid of ransomware? It might reduce their profits, but as long as even 1℅ of people pay up, they make enough to keep doing it.
Sounds like an easy way to get rid of ransomware. Just spread rumors that you didn't get your files back even though you paid.
Somehow I have a feeling that wouldn't work, though. Many people would still pay.
