Scary Emails

I recently came across an email that certainly got my heart rate rising.
Basically, it wanted to extort money from me. How? Simply by stating
they have a "contract" on me and will kill me if I did not send X amount
of dollars to them.

I did some research on this type of email which is called HITMAN .
They apparently have become quite popular over the last while.
Of course, this type of email is a SCAM or bogus.
The perpetrators send thousands of emails out, hoping just one or two
unsuspecting individuals will believe the message.

Recently, the scammers have added a twist - they are requesting personal information
from you to be sent to the FBI in London, England to assist in their investigation.
The scammers want your personal information so they can commit identity theft.

Unfortunately, all of these emails can be very scary, and it
isn't hard to imagine people getting conned.

If you receive one of these emails, please do not send money, financial,
or personal information. If you wish, you can report such emails
to the police. However, the easiest solution is simply reach for the delete button.
