Title: funny(?) e-mail
Post by: Devlin on February 27, 2008, 10:28:20 am
so i just received this email. what kind of retard tries this?
---

I  am very sorry for you Xxxxxx, is a pity that this is how your life is
going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see there is no need
of introducing myself to you because 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 you call a friend wants you Dead by all means, and the person have
spent a lot of money on this, the person also 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 and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for
the operation on you, and they have done that but I told them not to kill
you that I will like to contact you and see if your life is Important to
you or not since their findings shows that you are innocent.
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 to you now my men are monitoring
you and they are telling me everything about you.
Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? As someone has paid us to kill you. Get
back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your life,
$10,000 is all you need to spend You will first of all pay $5,000 then I
will send a tape to you which i recorded every discusion i had with the
person who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay
the remaining $5,000. 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.
DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND GIVE
YOU THE TAPE OF MY 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 .

GET BACK TO ME:mohammedyakubu2008@hotmail.com

A scammer.

I suggest you copy the header information on the original and forward it with that information copied in to your abuse address of your mail provider. It allows them to progress it with the police. No doubt some awful nigerian scam from the shockingly bad grammar.

They usually catch up to this scammer morons in about 8 months and throw there asses in a nice cell.

The ones that really get to me are the ebay ones. they ninja my auctions and then try and make me pay outside with some stupid fake number reference. wasting 7 days that I then get a refund eventually to relist and have it ninjed again :|

lol that is a new kind of email scam.

And sadly the header info isnt really worth much, unless they are utterly retarded, the only real way to catch them is to actually respond to the email and entrap them.
