Murder threat in my junk box!

[Pink_Panther]

I found this in my junkbox.

As scams go this one is paticularly nasty!

Any ideas as who to report it to?

I didn't open the mail from xterminator9ml
But I did view the message source.



This is the only way I could contact you for now,I want you to be very careful about this and keep this secret with you until I make out space for us to see. You have no need of knowing who I am or where I am from.I know this may sound very surprising to >you but it's the situation.I have been paid some ransom in advance to terminate you with some reasons listed to me by my employer.It's someone I believe you call a friend, I have followed you closely for a while now and have seen that you are innocent of >the accusations he leveled against you.Do not contact the police or try to send a copy of this to them,because if you do, I will know,and I might be pushed to do what I have been paid to do.Besides, this is the ist time I turn out to be a betrayer in my job.I >took pity on you,that is why I have made up my mind to help you if you are willing to help yourself.






>Now listen,I will arrange for us to see face to face,but before that, I need $9,000. I will come to your home or you determine where you wish we meet;I repeat, do not arrange for the cops and if you play hard to get, it will be extended to your family.Do not >set any camera to cover us or set up any tape to record our conversation, my employer is in my control now. Payment details will be provided for you to make a part payment of $2000 first,which will serve as grantee that you are ready to you >co-orperate,then i will post a copy of the video tape that contains his request for me to terminate you which will be enough evidence for you to take any legal action against him before he employs another person for the job. You will pay the balance of >$7000 once you receive the tape.






>Warning; do not contact the police, make sure you stay indoors once it is 7.30pm until this whole thing is sorted out,if you neglect any of these warnimgs, you will have yourself to blame. You do not have much time, so get back to me immediately






>Note:I will advise you keep this to yourself alone, not even a friend or a family member should know about it because it could be one of them.

Report it to the police.

I would deffo tell the police, tho it has to be a new low for email scams...........they could trace the computer and find who did it without ever coming to your house, if you are seriously thinking there may be any validity to it.

The police already know all about this.

Different versions of this "Hitman email" have been circulating since at least 2006.

Take a look at the Snopes page for more details.

It's sick, sad and disgusting, but it's far from a real threat.

I would most defiantly report this to the police.

Somebody, somewhere has got to start arresting theses people that post this rubbish. Jail terms and very large fines are in order. Plus they should loose ALL ONLINE services for life. Leave them with just an old rotary phone with no dial-up capabilities and defiantly no high-speed. Second time caught spamming or online should be a life sentence.

LOL!

Seriously though, I would report this to the police and/or your local government authorities; even if it's a scam, it can likely be traced and possibly something can be done (of a nasty nature) to the sender.

Best wishes for many sales to all,
