Internet Scam Threatens Lives
A new email scam has started to work its way around the Internet. Rather than offering you money for a small amount of money sent for fees, this time the scam is threatening people's lives.
An email claiming to be from a hitman who has been hired to kill the person is currently being sent out. This email asks recipients for as much as $80000 claiming that the hitman will ignore his contract to kill the person if he receives the money. The hitman claims to have followed the victim around for 10 days and will produce a tap proving that there is a contract to kill the person after the first payment of $20000. The email also warns users not to go to the police or FBI or the hitman may be forced to kill the person.
