This isn't funny. F'n ****** bags. It's going to the FBI: SOMEONE YOU CALL YOUR FRIEND, WANTS YOU DEAD. I felt very sorry and bad for you, that your life is going to end like this if you don't comply, i was paid to eliminate you and I have to do it within 10 days. Someone you call your 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 us that he wants you dead and he provided us your names, photograph and other necessary information we needed about you. Meanwhile, I have sent my boys to track you down and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for the operation, but I ordered them to stop for a while and not to strike immediately because I just felt something good and sympathetic about you. I decided to contact you first and know why somebody will want you dead by all means. Right now my men are monitoring you, their eyes are on you, and even the place you think is safer for you to hide might not be. Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? It is up to you. Get back to me now if you are ready to enter deal with me, I mean life trade, who knows, and I might just spear your life, $8,000 is all you need to spend. You will first of all pay $3,000 then I will send the tape of the person that want you dead to you and when the tape gets to you, you will pay the remaining $5,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will have no choice but to carry on the assignment after all I have already being paid before now. Warning: do not think of contacting the police or even tell anyone because I will extend it to any member of your family since you are aware that somebody want you dead, and the person knows some members of your family as well. For your own good I will advise you not to go out once is 7pm 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 to this e-mail contact [email protected] ) Mr.Jack Brown.
What a ****** bag, at least he could have spelled spared correctly. If I got that letter I would have responded that there are no people who I consider my friend. Maybe we should all blow up this guy's inbox with notices from the F.B.I., C.I.A., the N.S.A., A.S.P.C.A., P.E.T.A., and F.C.H.A.T.
Tell them I will send not only $8,000, but $12,000 upfront. When they get the cashier's check I send them, they can immediately wire me back the difference to my local Western Union. Tell them I need to do this because of "tax reasons". Everyone wins. RMX
Probably; it's amazing what some people will fall for! If these scams didn't work, no one would be doing them.
Yep, they are. Look how many people lost $$ to the other e-mails that have been going around for the last 5 years or so. I find it hard to understand how someone, other than an elderly one who might get confused, would fall for something like this. Then again, I'd have to be in their shoes to understand what they were thinking. We all make mistakes I just hope the word spreads and people understand that this is a scam. Personally I think it's a really good one. Imagine the fear someone might get reading this e-mail and actually believe it. How would you really know if it was a scam if you paid it, it's not like the person is promising to send you something in the mail. All you would know is that no-one came to kill you. Sad part is that no-one was planning on it in the first place. I really hope the FBI does something about it. This one could potentially be really bad. Hopefully the word has spread enough about these types of e-mails that more people recognize it for what it is than might have 5 years ago. I did e-mail it to the FBI, so I just hope they do something about it. Threatening someones life is quite a bit different than promising a windfall of money after someone dies. I'd like to think the Feds would take it a bit more serious.
hahaha! i actually got this e-mail a few months back, albeit worded differently. needless to say i'm still around today to tell that story. the end.
The first thing I would ask before payment is a pic of me from today doing something outside----If his guys are there and ready shouldn't be a problem..... I guess the Sheriff's Office will start getting calls from people scared to death for this BS soon.....
Now this one is funny. Got it today. I think someone has a tracking cookie on my computer or something. The "from" field read this: Anti-Terrorist And Monetary Crimes Division Sunday, June 29, 2008 9:28 PM From:"FEDERAL BEAUREA OF INVESTGIGATIONS" <[email protected]> To:undisclosed-recipients What is really funny about this is that if you hit reply, this is the e-mail address it will go to: <[email protected]> So it looks like a legit e-mail from the FBI until you hit the reply button and realize it didn't come from them. Here is the body of the e-mail, note the scam in the middle: Anti-Terrorist And Monetary Crimes Division FBI Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

The public needs to be aware that individuals identifying themselves as U.S. court employees have been telephonically contacting citizens and advising them that they have been selected for jury duty. These individuals ask to verify names and Social Security numbers then ask for credit card numbers. If the request is refused, citizens are then threatened with fines illegally. The judicial system does not contact people telephonically and ask for personal information such as your Social Security number, date of birth or credit card numbers. If you receive one of these phone calls, do not provide any personal or confidential information to these individuals. This is an attempt to steal or to use your identity by obtaining your name, Social Security number and potentially to apply for credit or credit cards or other loans in your name. It is an attempt to defraud you. Crime and fraud is real, so be careful. Working closely with our partners in intelligence, law enforcement, military, and diplomatic circles, the FBIs primary responsibility is to neutralize terrorist cells and operatives here in the United States and help dismantle terrorist networks/money laundry and internet fraud worldwide. Although protecting the United States from terrorist attacks and money laundry is our first priority, we remain committed to the defense of America against foreign intelligence threats as well as the enforcement of federal criminal laws, all while respecting and defending the Constitution. If youve ever watched one of those crime dramas on TV and heard the term NCIC mentioned in passing and wondered what it was, youre probably not alone. NCIC, which stands for National Crime Information Center, is one of the unsung heroes of crime-fightinglittle known to the public, but used every day by law enforcement officers nationwide and even across the border to take terrorists and criminals off the street, find missing persons and property, and save lives. Were very proud of NCICs legacy, but whats most important to us is what it can do today, says Bush. Were constantly trying to make it better and faster. And we have, with a major technical upgrade in 1999 and important additions of terrorism and gang information in recent years. Robert S. Mueller, III Director Federal Bureau of Investigation
