You’ve Been Targetted for Termination Unless…

In the vast majority of cases hoax and SPAM emails are a nuisance, but a new breed of scam email is causing concern amongst its victims. The email will purport to come from a hitman who’s been hired by a so called “friend” to get rid of you for $50,000, but he is willing to drop the contract if you pay $80,000. Of course, sums may vary depending on what the scammer perceives your worth to be!!

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette has an excellent news article on this alarming scam.

Anyone who is alarmed by the receipt of this type of email should inform their local police station and other internet related law enforcement agencies in your country.
