    has anyone else got this email from "AL-Qaeda" saying that im dead if i dont pay them 1.5k USD and the 5k USD. They claim someone i know really well wants me dead and if i dont pay they'll send their boys after me? they claim to know all about me but havent yet told me any info.

    They also said "Do not think of contacting the police or even telling anyone because i will know" haha so people of after hours please dont tell anyone i told you because i dont want to make them angry..... :confused:

    Firstly do a Reverse IP search on the email, then delete it.

    It's a hoax, just like the Nigerian Prince emails.

    I got one from a hit man who gave me the chance to match the offer on my head. Apparently I'm a nice guy and he didn't want to kill me.

    You should have asked for the money first before you let him shag you.

    No they don't. They have access to someone else's money if you help them get to it. Jesus, it's like you didn't even read those emails in detail or something!

    Get a clip off an American Army recruitment video and sent it on to them or better still a video of the IRA and send that.

    I got one. I replied and said if they didn't pay me 10k I'd top myself.

    I'm still waiting, when should I do it? :mad:

    The email contains a death threat.

    This means the sender is screwed if caught if it was sent from a jurisdiction in the western world.

    Report it to Guards

    since $ mentioned you should report it to someone in the US too

    Report it to gmail or where the email came from,
