Yes, you are dealing with the newer version of Makop ransomware. It uses either the .encrypted or l.makpp at the end of the extension, but the email part - [honestandhope@qq.com] stays the same. This is why not all people can identify that the version belongs to this family.
Makop virus removal and recovery is difficult because the threat chooses its targets in various parts of the world. Mainly focuses on Russia - based on user reports. It encrypts files without the possibility of decryption. Paying is not the option. Remember!
However, you can remove the threat by running a security tool - an anti-malware program. Then your device is safe and you can recover affected files by adding backups or using software build for this.
Good luck,
