A new kind of scam-- sent from the Grim Reaper, apparently!

[kz_blogorambling]

Can't recall having seen this kind of thing before, but it just hit my inbox. Allow me to add some paragraph breaks, for readability:


Hello I am very sorry for you ,It is a pity that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see there is no need for me introducing myself to you because I don't have any business with you, my duty as I am mailing you now is just to (KILL YOU ) and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that.

Someone you call a Friend want's you Dead by all means, and the person have spent a lot of money on this, the person also came to us and told me that he wanted you dead and he provided us with your name ,picture and other necessary information's we needed about you. So I have sent my boy's to track you down and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for the operation on you, and they have done that but I told them not to kill you that I will like to contact you and see if your life is Important to you or not.since we have find out that you are innocent. I called my client back and ask him of your email address which I didn't tell him what I wanted to do with it and he gave it to me and I am using it to contact you now.

As I am writing to you now my men are monitoring you and they are telling me everything about you. Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? As someone has paid us $50,000 to kill you. Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your life, $10,000 is all you need to spend You will first of all pay $5,000 then I will send a tape to you which i recorded every discusion i hade with the person who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay the remaining $5,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with my job straight-up.


WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW.REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING FUNNY. DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:PM 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 THANKS

You can't get good fucking help these days, I tell you.

I need better hitmen.

thanks for thinking I was worth $50K. Your hired man thinks I'm only worth $10K.

Nothing but the best for you.

Wait..if we were splitting the fee, why did I pay $40,000?

It's reassuring that he has a 7:00 PM make-out time. It's important, even when killing people, to grab ahold a romantic moment each day and lose yourself in the lips of a loved one.

How tempting is it to respond with "man, get in line...if you can get past the Yakuza someone else sent, be my guest."

I love that it ends with a "THANKS". I may be trying to kill you, but that's no reason to stop using manners.

That was my favorite part as well.

No funny business, see?

I love how your impulse for how to react to such a threat is editorial. :)

> my duty as I am mailing you now is just to (KILL YOU )

Your duty is just to respond (and teach) proper usage (OF PARENTHESES) and you have to do it as you have already read that (sentence).
