Just received in my e-mail box from "KILL"

[Jim Robinson]

Attn,

I am very sorry for you, is a pity that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see we are the members of the Deadly Networks in the world, which is responsible for the bombing of twin tower's in America on Sept. 11th and the bombing of London transport services on July 7th (AL-QUAEDA NETWORKS), I don't have any business with you, my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that.

Someone whom you called your friend wants you dead by all means, and this person have spent a lot of money in this venture, This person came to us and told me that he wanted you dead and he provided us with your name, picture and other necessary information's we needed about you. So I sent my boys to track you down this including bugging of your phones with satellite tracking devices and they have carried out the necessary investigation we needed for the operation on you, and if you doubt this information am going to give you all the necessary information about you back to you in your next reply so that you can believe me, and my boys are really on you but I told them not to kill you that I will like to contact you and see if your life is important to you and the one of your family. I called my client back and ask him of your email address which I didn't tell him what I wanted to do with it and he gave it to me and I am using it to contact you now. As I am writing you this mail my men are monitoring you and they are telling me everything about you.

Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? Since all program has be made and draw to kill you. Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your Life, $15,000 is all you need to spend in this process you will first of all Pay $8,000 and then I will send a tape to you which I recorded in every discussion I had with the person who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the Tape, You will pay the remaining balance of $7,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with my job straight-up.

WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW ,REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT YOUR TELLING THE SECURITY ABOUT IT BECAUSE A GOOD LOOK IS OUT YOU AT THE MOMENT. DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF ALL DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY

[arizonarachel]

What in the world!!!

[elcid1970]

Time to lock and load.

[DBrow]

Goll-ee! Don’t tell anybody, Jim!

[al baby]

WTHELL is this about

[mware]

JIm forward this on to law enforcement.

[atomic conspiracy]

Democratic fund-raiser?

[Third Order]

not as charming as the Nigerian folks.

[Content Provider]

The latest Nigerian email scam, I guess.

[Norman Bates]

Contact the FBI.

[arizonarachel]

Obviously the hitman was not an English major.

[Popman]

Wow, I'm speechless.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

What the heck?

[jdm]

Get the details you need, IP address, etc.

[DBrow]

Would telling the FBI count as “anybody”, I wonder? They can do wonders tracking down net sources.

Thanks for sharing this, it is more amusing than the Nigerian scams.

[Tribune7]

[GOP_Lady]

I don’t know what to make of this, but I’m certainly praying for you.

[SaveTheChief]

Looks like those Nigerians are getting serious!

[Miss Behave]

FBI. NOW, Jim.

[mware]

JIm I dont know about CA, but in NJ, this is a cyber crime.

[Cindy]

Ok, Jim, I can help you with this.

I’ll freepmail you.

[cripplecreek]

How do you know my ex wife?

[driftdiver]

Apparently from Nigeria although their English is usually better. I’ve read stories that these work better than the “inheritance from a rich deceased uncle and won’t you please help me transfer the $20 million into the US” emails.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

...bugging of your phones with satellite tracking devices

...my boys...

Two signs this is a POS but call the police anyway and document it.

[ShadowDancer]

Well, at least he wasn’t asking for money for a sick relatives’ operation.

[ElkGroveDan]

Looks like the 419 scammers have lost their sense of humor.

[Bommer]

I know of a bank account in Nigeria if you need the money! Sounds like a valentine from Code Pink!

[lesser_satan]

Why bother? It’s just some douchebag scammer in Nigeria.

[xcamel]

MS-13?

[5Madman2]

FBI has put a warning out on this-SCAM

Spam stuuf similar to the Nigerian scamms

Ignore it

[Miss Behave]

And don’t let your family out of your sight until then.

[Old Sarge]

It’s a viral email, Jim. Several faculty at my campus have already gotten this.

Just forward this to everyone in your email list or your nosehairs will turn fuschia at precisely 11:05 PDT - but you can STOP THIS, by sending me a blank check...

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I agree, there is not such thing as anonymous anymore on the internet.

[Crim]

Damn...how do I get on this list?

I never get any good death threats...

[aruanan]

To the sender: E.S.A.D.

[SpaceBar]

Contact the FBI.

[mware]

Obviously the hitman was not an English major.

My guess, the Amish.

[Doe Eyes]

Did they say which Nigerian bank you’re to wire the money to?

[Drango]

Fairly standard exploit letter (spam) that has been going around. It’s not directed at FReepers.

[EternalVigilance]

There once was a blackmailing shill
Who said he was working for KILL
If you’ll pony up now
There will be no KERPLOW!
But don’t believe him, he’s working for Hill...

[greyfoxx39]

WOW..WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW ,REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD!

Wonder if Engrish is his first language????

[fatima]

Contact the FBI.

[Vision Thing]

Scary, but it doesn’t make any specific reference to you or to anybody else. In other words, it looks like spam.

[PLMerite]

Scam. Ignore it.

But to be on the safe side, keep ‘ol Betsy handy.

[dk88]

This is a SPAM scam, we reported on it last week. Delete

[kingu]

Oh, geeze, are those e-mails back? A variation on the Nigera scam. Whee.

[LibWhacker]

Reminds me of this: http://www.wvec.com/news/topstories/stories/wvec_local_022908_email_scheme.ca5ede6.html

[Judith Anne]

I’ve read that there is a scam like this.

What an easy way to make money, for those who believe this.

That said, call the police. We don’t want to take any chances with you.

God protect you, Jim.
