Scam E-Mail Demands Money for Having Recipient’s Life Spared - SPAMfighter: "Scam E-Mail Demands Money for Having Recipient’s Life Spared
Police are advising local inhabitants for remaining watchful ever-since a man from Newmarket (England) got a threatening e-mail telling that he'll be killed if he didn't pay 10,000 pounds. Cambridge-news.co.uk published this on July 1, 2011.
Written in a rather poor style and also reflecting confusion in certain portions, the e-mail states that some persons have been hired for taking the e-mail recipient's life; however, if he pays the said amount, his life will be spared and the contract withdrawn.
Naturally getting frightened, the man sought help from the police who started an investigation that showed that the e-mail scam was a familiar one that first originated in USA."
