Meanwhile, I have sent my boys to track you 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.

Warning To You: Do not think of contacting the COP or even tell anyone because I will extend it to any member of your family since you are aware that Somebody wants you dead, and the person knows all members of your family.
And For your own good, comply as soon as possible and when i 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.

You can just picture the shrug of shoulders when said with comedy foreign accent!

Anyway, nice knowing you Jon!

SALAD - 17/3/10 at 04:12 PM

Although there have been some funny responses in this thread, I think that email is terrible. Think about how many people will be so scared that they pay up Stupid people yes but that is still a nasty email.

As mentioned, post up their email address so he can be inundated with cr*p

either way, on the face of it its a threat to kill, so should be passed to the police. Im sure they wouldnt have a chance of catching the scammer, but still....


DM - 17/3/10 at 05:07 PM

I actually work in Internet Security so am well aware of these scams... but that is one of the funniest / most pathetic attempts I’ve heard of in a while!

I dont disagree - it's vile. And I'd love nasty things to happen to the scumbag responsible. Still I'm mildly comforted in the knowledge this particular scumbag is very unlikely to be profitting from this particular scam, such is its level of retardosity.

Peteff - 17/3/10 at 06:00 PM

Some people just aren't happy with leaving you negative feedback Jon, what did you sell them ?


TigerB6 Paul - 17/3/10 at 08:39 PM

Well Jon - seeing as you have 72 hours to live and the guy has to kill you within 2 days..... at least you can die happy knowing our assasin will be 24hrs late.

If i'd hired him - i'd have him up in court for breach of contract!! Cant even find an assasin who gets the job done in a timely manner these days!!!
