Ok, so my spam account gets the following missive today, too strange this wired world we live in…

So my only question ole htmf fans, which one you jack assess wants me offed?  :evil:

I have my suspicions but am always welcome to leads on this case!  :roll:

From my podunkcan account (though I’ve added the necessary paragraph separation so as to make this missive readable, I like how it starts to yell at the end, pretty classy stuff, however if the blog goes dark suddenly… ): :confused:

How are you.

   Am very sorry for you my friend, 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/ASSASSINATE 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 want 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 you 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, 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 TELL ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW. REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, IN CASE I NOTICE SOMETHING FUNNY.

   DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:30PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH MY DEMANDS, THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION.

   GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY

Very creative indeed !

The naysayers state that there are no “JOBS” in town haha.

No offence to the unemployed, but I don’t exactly want to be a make work project! :smiley:

5

Weird indeed.  Maybe phone the RCMP, and forward the e-mail to them?  Death threat spam is a new one for me.

Well I’m not too concerned to be honest, and really the local RCMP have a lot more on their plate than the lunatic ramblings of the less than successful internet spammers. :smiley:

Good to hear you’re not concerned about it.

Wasn’t there a postal guy in Prince Rupert that would send those kinds of emails?  John something?

Maybe he’s uncovered your identity, Podunkian. Remember, when you control the mail, you control INFORMATION.

Doubt that it was anyone local, this has been apparently wandering around the internet for years different variations of the same theme…

11

Heh, interesting indeed.  :smile:

Did you reply back to them :smile:

LOL, no I’m waiting for them to knock on the door, I always prefer to have my extortion attempts conducted in person, it adds the personal touch.    :smiley:
