I got a similar e-mail today, kinda scary to read, but why would a hit man want to contact you to spare your life, even if you did pay the person I am pretty sure they would still kill you, I mean they want their money right? I realize that this isn’t real but it did scare me because this is the first time i have ever seen anything like this in my inbox and I have had a lot of spam.

Dear Friend,
Goodday to you.
Am very sorry for you my friend, 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 of 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/ASSASINATE you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that.
Someone you call a friend wants 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 want you dead and he provided us with your name, picture and other necessary information’s we needed about you. So I sent my boys 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 their findings shows that you are innocent.
I called my client back and asked 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 to kill you. Get back to me on my personal EMAIL: donvanuchi1@yahoo.com now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your life, 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 TELL 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 7:30PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH MY DEMANDS, THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY ON MY PERSONAL EMAIL : donvanuchi1@yahoo.com
REPLY BACK TO MY PERSONAL EMAIL : donvanuchi1@yahoo.com
Regards
Don Vanuchi

Hi, i received similar email, but this time the classic ‘someone-rich-dead-and-you-got-all-his-money’ thing.

I had enough with this crap, so I decided to reply the email, saying that I interested in the deal. Lucky, he called to my office immediately, and we chat a lot for almost 1 hour. and finally he ask me to send some administrative fee to his account.

I did send the money, it’s a dollar bill in jpg format, via email…

Got the email also…kinda believed it because of the mention of kids and because of some personal stuff that I’m going through…police did nothing but take a report over the phone and give me a report number…they didn’t even ask me to send it to them and seemed disinterested in who sent it…I would think that this would be a crime…after all it is threatening someones life and…scam or not…isn’t that a crime…

SOMEONE 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
have spent 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.

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 good and
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 eyes are
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 are ready
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 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 or your 2kids since you are aware that somebody want
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 wantyou dead then
you can use it to take any legal action.

Good luck as I await your reply to this e-mail contact: (sniper_orlando@live.com)

Hello Migs,

You’re welcome and I’m glad that this information helped to reassure your wife.

I am however inclined to disagree with your condemnation of ’3rd world scamming morons’ and proposal for handling the problem as there are just as many scamming morons in 1st world nations. The latter however seem to do so from pure greed as opposed to trying to attain basics such as food and shelter.

You might also want to check out the gun facts on this page:

http://www.gun-control-network.org/GF01.htm

Homicide rates in the States far outstrip those in other 1st world nations, primarily due to firearm ownership levels. I wouldn’t consider that statistic something about which to be proud.

My wife got this very same e-mail and scared the bejesus out of her…

Thank you all (specially Rosalind) for your posts and this blog in here, it reassured her that it was not real but yet another cheap shot at extorting money from innocent people.

These idiots in 3rd world countries really do not know shit about us and our culture. We live in CO and they (3rd world scamming morons) probably never heard of our laws, specially our beloved “make my day” one. So also thank you Mr. Smith and Wesson, Mr. Ruger, Mr. Browning, Mr. Winchester, Mr. Colt, Mr. Taurus and the others, for giving us peace of mind and protection. God bless the USA (and CO my home state).

I got this email and at first was upset then I realized as I reread it that it was a scam. I figured it was from Nigeria because of the way it was written. This is what happens when you send used computers to third world nations-I knew of a man who always sent computers to his home(Nigeria) so they could better themselves-yeah right. Hopefullt the elderly don’t fall prey to this type of letter.

Hey guys!
I got that letter today, thanks guys for you comments. I was told that if I dont pay them today, I will be murdered around 7pm, it scared me becuase they have my address, probably they got it from the internet. Since I read this, I feel much better, I knew it was scams!

On Monday, July 7, 2008, I received the email, “Someone You Call Friend, Wants You Dead.” Researching the origination of this, I learned it was sent from Moulineaux, France thru France Telecom on Orange.fr. I realized it was a spam prank, but it has crossed the line and has devalued life itself. I am now making it a personal campaign to bring awareness, educate, and encourage recipients to take a pro-active stance against life threatening correspondence and hopefully to capture the sick people that do this. This is a criminal offense to threaten life and extort money.
To date, I have filed investigative reports with two local law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles. I have filed with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, https://www.ic3.gov which is in partnership with the FBI, National White Collar Crime Center, and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. I have written to my California Assemblyman, Cameron Smyth to see what our state government officials are doing. May I remind everyone that life is precious! Even though a threat comes thru an in-box and can be deleted with a keystroke–no one has the right to threaten to kill and extort money, no matter where they live in this world.
