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

Man do the FBI thing! By the way I won the Nigerian Lottery 5 times this month.

Second thought....I’ll post this to you in public.
We’ve covered these scams quite a bit on The Threat Matrix.

see my post at #34, Cindy.

I’ve heard of this scam. You’re the first person I’ve known to receive this type of letter, though. Be careful and God bless.

Maybe try calling google to inform them of that email address:

Google Inc.
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043
Phone: +1 650-253-0000
Fax: +1 650-253-0001

You can try this

For Google, use this form
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=abuse_spo...
or email to
abuse@google·com and/or mail-abuse@google·com

But I doubt liberal google is going to take much action other than to cancel the account.

You gotta love these scammers!

Jim this is Spam!

[KirbDog]

I read about this earlier this week. Total scam I guess you could report it to the authorities can’t hurt.

Sounds like it was composed by one of the hookan-puffing brain trusts at CAIR. Post the e-mail header, Jim - let us have a little fun with this genetic defective before the local constabulary totes him off to Bellvue.

The FBI could maybe get Google to cooperate.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

$15,000? Fifteen grand? Hell, I’ll not kill you for $10,000.

[mad_as_he$$]

JR:

The price of wacking someone of your fame would obviously be more than that!!! It's BS.

But report it anyway.

Mad.

[palmer]

spam filters are your friend

[jdm]

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

There's not?

[lesser_satan]

Send him a link to the GNAA Last Measure exploit.

[Jim Robinson]

Yup that’s the one. Sheesh. And I’ve already replied with my bank account and social security numbers. Suppose they’ll send them back if I as real nicely? Bwahahahahah!

[Pontiac]

If I was in the market for a hit man I would look for someone with a better grasp of the English language.

I just do not have confidence in the intelligence of people who can not communicate.

I know it is not my life being threatened but this just sounds like a crock to me. Some kind of a scam.

I recommend contacting the FBI. If this person can be found they need a little time in a Federal prison to straiten them out.

[firebrand]

Wonder if we can tempt him to come out of the shadows by offering free copyediting.
