E-Mail Threat

[allardjd 1,853]

I just found this in my Suspect E-Mail...

 

Hey,

 

You have been betrayed!!! It's a pity that this how your life is going to come to an end as your death had already been paid by someone who is very close to you from all investigations.I have ordered 3 (three) of my men to monitor every move of you and make sure you are not out of sight till the date of your assassination.

 

According to the report I gets, you seem to be innocent about what you have been accuse but I have no business with that, so that's why am contacting you to know if truly you are innocent and how much you value your life.Get back to me if you sure you really want to live, ignore this mail only if you feel it's a joke or just a threat. Don't forget your days on earth are numbered, so you have the chance to live if only you will comply with me.

 

WARNING: Tell no one about this mail because he or she might just be the person who wants you dead, and if that happens, I will be aware and am going to make sure you DIE instantly.I will give you every detail of where to be and how to take any actions be it legal or illegal, that's only when I read from you.

 

You need to stay calm and act unaware of this situation and follow instructions because any move you make that is suspicious; you will DIE as your days are numbered.

 

This is pretty over-the-top Spam. Someone sure has a fertile imagination. Crazy times... Do your worst, cretins.

 

For what it's worth, I'll sleep no less soundly tonight than I ever do.

Most of these whack jobs would be far better off spamming their own countrymen. At least they'd be able to speak (and write) the language. This is the worst I've seen, yet, probably a nine year old.

 

Question is: What's the point?

 

I can understand the ones that appeal to me for money because they're stuck in an airport in some third world country without their wallet. At least they're trying to make a dishonest buck.

Crazy, for what its worth I like the Nigerian Bank detail email scam asking for your bank details the best for a laugh, its so ludicrous its funny but sad too ... but I guess if you throw enough darts one will hit the bullseye sooner or later, many people must have been duped by this, my youngest sister is particularly naive and when I first built her a computer and fixed up internet access for her and installed the best of my knowledge security software and told her the basics ... she still managed to get her PC ridden with mall-ware that I had to fix twice before she finally seemed to understand the way of things.

 

Thats pretty grim reading John, glad to see you are not phased by it though ... I've been on the Internet 20 years this month and never had anything like that.

 

I use Google Gmail as an email client and it for sure seems to have the best anti spam algorithms compared to others I've used before, hardly anything spam or unsavoury gets through with Gmail.

Wow that is pretty stupid, hoping to get a hit on someone vulnerable.

 

If my mother in law got this she would think it was real and would get in a right state. (No jokes please  )

Hi all,

@John that would be very scary if it had been sent to a vulnerable person. Luckily you saw this as a childs prank (is there any way to report this? I'm not sure about cybercrime reporting but do know some countries have such units. )

I have had emails concerning the Nigerian bank scam or similar. The person is a banker (I think that is misspelt!) And a client recently passed away with no family and the banker doesn't want the money to go to their government, sent your account details they will put £/$ 100,000 in then come to this country for 30,000 of it etc lmao in the UK I can buy a 'credit card' (pre paid) for use online to avoid identity theft for £1 I am so tempted to use one to see their faces when they try cloning that credit card!

I've been tempted many times to screw with the scammers, such as setting up a bank account with about $0.08 in it, but I think it's probably better to keep a low profile in these things.  I couldn't resist posting this one, however.

 

If I meet with an untimely demise, someone please alert the authorities.

It all adds to the rich tapestry of pond life.

We get lots of those sort of things, a lot of mine seem to be from friendly Russian women wanting to marry me! Some of the photos I get sent would make even me blush!........occasionally!
