I thought I had seen it all when it came to spam e-mails. I've got phishing e-mails from banks that I have never had an account with, or aren't even in my state. I've gotten the normal e-mails stating some rich person in some far away land wants me to carry out their dying wishes with their estate because the family is greedy. I've won so many overseas lotteries that I should be a millionaire twenty times over. I even got an e-mail from a person that just wanted me to be their pen pal, but they were also rich and sick. I thought I had run the gamut of scam e-mails, but I got one today that absolutely floored me. Some hit man is e-mailing me because a friend of mine wants me killed! Let me show you the e-mail with commentary from me. Hello What Ever You Call YourSelf I am very sorry for you Xxxxxx,(Yeah, I'm really scared, you don't even know my name!!!) 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 (Then why are you e-mailing me in the first place???)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 (umm, I don't have that many friends, and I haven't done anything to those few that would warrant them wanting me dead), and the person have spent a lot of money on this (plus my friends, sorry to say, are as broke as I am lol), the person also came to us and told me that he wanted you dead and he provided us with your name (the same name that you don't have?) ,picture and other necessary information's (Information's?)we needed about you. So I sent my boys to track you down (Not that hard to track me down, I don't go too far from home) 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 (how gracious of 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. (If you have such a strong sense of right and wrong, then why are you a hit man???) I called my client back and ask him of your email address which I didn't tell him (On top of it, I don't have many male friends either) 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. (Are they telling you that I have copied this to MyLot, or are they telling you that I'm giving you the finger right now lol?) 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, $15,000 is all you need to spend (Such a small amount, huh? If your boys were monitoring me so closely, they would have known that I am BROKE!!! I didn't even make $15,000 last year!!!) 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 (wouldn't that tape implicate you in the crime as well?) and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay the remaining $10,000. (What if I ran off with the tape? Or right, you're "watching" me lol) 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. (I'm not even going to waste my time notifying the police, I'm having too much fun with it lol)REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING FUNNY. (I noticed something hilarious when I read this e-mail)DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:PM (Because we all know that hit men work third shift lol) UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD (Again, now you are going to let me see you, again making it possible to implicate you as well? If this is a hit man, he has to be the dumbest!!!)THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY (Don't hold your breath) I hope no one is dumb enough to fall for this one. This story has so many holes in it, you could drive a Mack truck through!!! I guess it could fit some people, people that have done wrong to their friends and have lots of money, but they definitely picked the wrong person to send this to this morning!!! Have you ever gotten threats in your e-mail like this? What would you do if you did?
