Spam Mail -- Hit Man Will Kill You Unless You Pay Up!

This one's worth telling everyone that you know.

Last December, a spam mail started making the rounds that claims the sender is a professional hit man and has a contract on the recipient. The sender says that he will cancel the contract if the recipient pays him $20,000.

Apparently most of the world is wise to the "you just won the lottery!" and "I am the widow/only surviving relative of Famous Person and I want you to inherit..." scams and is trying extortion now.

This really is a sick little person who thinks this stuff up. I knew there was a reason I ignore most of my emails.

Just disturbing...
