Spammers Go Too Far With Scam
May 27, 2008
Welcome every one today I want to share a scam that has been going around people’s email box. This scam in particular is very disturbing to me, as I’m sure it is to others. Who ever the culprit behind this evil plot is definitely deserves to be caught and punished to the full extent of the law. Take a few minutes and read the troublous letter. I hope there aren’t any innocent people that are scared and are feeding into this tomfoolery.
The disquieting spam mail read like so…
“Subject [Suspected Spam] SOMEONE YOU CALL YOUR FRIEND, WANTS YOU DEAD.
From ANTHONIO BENITO
Date Saturday, May 24, 2008 1:34 pmSOMEONE YOU CALL YOUR FRIEND, WANTS YOU DEAD.
I felt very sorry and bad for you, that your life is going to end like this if you don’t comply, i was paid to eliminate you and I have to do it within10 days. Someone you call your friend wants you dead by all means, and the person havespent a lot of money on this, the person also came to us and told us that he wants you dead and he provided us your names, photograph and other necessary information we needed about you.
If you are in doubt with this I will send you your name and where you are residing in my next mail. Meanwhile, I have sent my boys to track you down 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 goodand sympathetic about you. I decided to contact you first and know why somebody will want you dead by all means. Right now my men are monitoring you, their eyesare on you, and even the place you think is safer for you to hide might not be. Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? It is up to you. Get back to me now if you areready to enter deal with me, I mean life trade, who knows, and I might just spear your life, $12,000 is all you need to spend.
You will first of all pay $4,000 then I will send the tape of the person that want you dead to you and when the tape gets to you, you will pay the remaining $8,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will have no choice but to carry on the assignment after all I have already being paid before now.
Warning: Do not think of contacting the police or even tell anyone because Iwill extend it to any member of your family since you are aware that somebodywant you dead, and the person knows some members of your family as well. For your own good I will advise you not to go out once is 7pm 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 to this e-mail contact: final.bulletpointservice@gmail.com
Mr.Anthonio Benito.”
Everyone out there if you receive such an email, do not be alarmed as it is as much a scam as the $1,000,000 Bank Transfer Scams emails from Nigeria and smaller countries. This is very saddening for me to see someone want to instill so much fear into an innocent person for a simple buck. They should just read this blog and learn to make money online the legit way, and not by spamming people on the Internet with death threats. It’s completely repulsive.
I got this sick e-mail yesterday about someone wanting to kill me! Even though I knew it was fake it did give me the creeps. I hope this person gets cought! It really makes me mad for myself but, more for thr people that live alone or who think this is for feel and are scared. Makes me sick!
Yes, it certainly is disturbing. These spammers just keep pushing it. I just hope no one really fell for this scam. Thanks for sharing with us Kim.
I’ve gotten a few of these. Honestly, I wasn’t too perturbed by them. I mean, maybe it would be more “frightening” if it weren’t for the atrocious grammar and the fact that I received this in my Yahoo email account. If this was for real, I am sure the “professional” hitman that has been hired would not only be able to communicate in an efficient manner, you know, like calling me (if he is keeping tabs on me, I hope to god he has my cellphone number… seriously, if he can’t get my cellphone number, then he probably shouldn’t be in the business of contract killing) and using proper English.
Also, here a few things that jumped out at me:
Why would they have a tape of the person who wants you dead???
1) A contract killer who has already been paid to kill me is not going to contact me first.
2) Contract killers work alone.
3) They wouldn’t put ANY of this in writing. If the recipient of this email where to take it to the police, the sender could be prosecuted. This is harassment, among other things…
4) The prices listed are very low. We’re talking about murder here… that is AT LEAST 20k
5) Finding a contract killer is not as easy as opening the yellow pages and looking in the “C” section. They are not like drug dealers. You can’t find them on street corners.
6) A person who KILLS FOR MONEY is not going to feel sorry for you. They don’t even know you, aside from the fact that they have been hired to kill you. The only thing they are concerned with is getting done and getting out of there.
7) If they really had dirt on you, they would have detailed it in the first email. They want you to take them serious as soon as possible.
Ok, the main thing that everyone seems to be forgetting is that we are dealing with MURDER!
You don’t leave written threats
You don’t leave written accounts
You don’t record yourself
YOU LEAVE NO EVIDENCE
I am sorry to be an asshole, but if you fell for this, then you are a fucking moron and you should probably stay off the internet…
At first I was thinking this dude must like federal prison.Then I almost thought it was funny because this clown surely makes way more then we make from google.But His gig will be up. Someone in authority will get it and some young dude will be getting a knock on the door from the feds.The government has so many people that basically do nothing but respond to stuff like this.They usually don’t find it amusing or go for the I was just kidding HOMIE;)
If the government were fools I would be printing my own money and answering the door for UPS every 5 minutes for another laptop,They just served a young guy in NY 30 months for some regular spam,this letter is 5 yrs with a NUT violent tag on your jacket.
Anyway Luis hope all is well I feel like I was on vacation.
I’ll see you around Stumbled
