An "assasin" has just been hired to kill me

Daemos

I just got this email titled "ASSASIN, I HAVE BEEN PAYED TO TERMINATE YOU."

This is the only way I could contact you for now, I want you to be very careful about this and keep this secret with you until I make out space for us to see. You have no need of knowing who I am or where I am from. I know this may sound very surprising to you but it's the situation. I have been paid some ransom in advance to terminate you with some reasons listed to me by my employer. It's someone I believe you call a friend; I have followed you closely for a while now and have seen that you are innocent of the accusations he leveled against you. Do not contact the police or try to send a copy of this to them, because if you do, I will know, and I might be pushed to do what I have been paid to do. Besides, this is the first time I turn out to be a betrayer in my job. I took pity on you, that is why I have made up my mind to help you if you are willing to help yourself.


Now listen, I will arrange for us to see face to face, but before that, I need $9,000. I will come to your home or you determine where you wish we meet; I repeat, do not arrange for the cops and if you play hard to get, it will be extended to your family. Do not set any camera to cover us or set up any tape to record our conversation; my employer is in my control now. Payment details will be provided for you to make a part payment of $3,000 first, which will serve as guarantee that you are ready to co-operate, then I will post a copy of the video tape that contains his request for me to terminate you which will be enough evidence for you to take any legal action against him before he employs another person for the job. You will pay the balance of $3,000 once you receive the tape.


Warning; do not contact the police, make sure you stay indoors once it is 7.30pm every day until this whole thing is sorted out, if you neglect any of these warnings, you will have yourself to blame. You do not have much time, so get back to me immediately

Note: I will advise you keep this to yourself alone, not even a friend or a family member should know about it because it could be one of them.

So AH, what should I do? Contact the "assasin" with bribe money to let me live, or make a counter-offer to target his employer? :rolleyes:

MrStuffins

It's actually pretty legit!

I received a similar email, paid the money, and i've yet to be assassinated!

Don't offer him double what the other guy is giving.

He'll just laugh and set you on fire!

Cavehill Red

I told you to keep it to yourself.
Now you'll be sorry.

I'd imagine the assassin is probably a boardsie(cos let's face it, who isn't?) so i'd make the most of your last few days if i was you. Cos you're in trouble now.

LOL The sad part is that there would be stupid people who would fall for that daft stupid stuff.

Send a begging letter to spare your life and say you'll meet in person with the first instalment.

Meet him.

Kick his head in.

galwayrush

Despite the fact it's nonsense, it's actually kind of disturbing for spam.

Takes me back to the days when my friends threatened me with a horrible supernatural death by a dead little girl unless I threaten all of my other friends with the same email:rolleyes:

I really wish I'd thought of that before I asked him to prove it my telling me my registration plate number

I'll be sh1tting myself if he gets it right

Ruu_Old

Sorry that was me, sent it to the wrong person. Don't worry your head!

El Weirdo

So he wants $9,000 in two instalments of $3,000 each?

He's not very good at this, is he?

Agricola

Tut, I never get emails like this. It would add alittle excitement to my life

mfceiling

I'll pay this time for you OP.

Just got an unexpected windfall this morning in the form of €117,997,954 from a guy in America who has bequeathed me this money rather than let it go to a faceless bank.

I've sent him my bank details, ID, address, and the €250 administration fee so the money should be in my account in the next few days.

I'll send you a PM when i'm quids in.

flyton5

If everyone in AH chipped in we could arrange to meet him....

So if you ask to meet for a nice dinner first then your whole family gets it? He's pretty stingy for somebody charging anywhere between six and nine grand a job.

I imagine the fee there would be far less than 9K, more like 20c.....:pac:

Nigeria Scam Artists at it again.

Bottle_of_Smoke

Should really say 'I have been hired' to kill you. Already paid? f*ck off just kill your employer.

zapata

Remember not to go outside after 7:30pm - just in case.......

derfderf

Ha ha, that brings back memories. I remember one of my friends got pretty much the same email. He didn't pay up either.



May he rest in peace.

Its sad that the man cant even spell his own profession. He gives us hard working assassins a bad name!


I would play with him for a while. Act like your going to pay up and see if you can get any information out of him.
He might be stupid enough to give out bank information which you can pass onto the police.

One assasin? Pfffft. I just got an email saying that I won the Spanish lotto, so I can afford a thousand assasins. Or maybe 10 contract killers who can use spell check

sheesh

don't be stupid !! This is obviously a job for the Equalizer or the A-team (if you can find them)


knightrider might also be a good third option
