I received this today from a guy calling himself Bobby B:

A am very Very sorry for you, is a pity that this is how your life is going to end is a pity but I will like to give you some chance to help your self if you will like to.

As you can see there is no need of introducing my self to you because I don't have any business with you, My work as I am talking to you now is just to kill you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that.

Some one that I will not like to tell you the name now but a friend of yours came to us and told me that he want you dead and he provided us with your name ,picture and other information about you and I sent my boys to track you down cary on some invastigation 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. I called my client back and ask him of you email which I didn't tell him what I want 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 there telling me every thing about you. So I will like to know if you will Like to live or die as some one has paid for us to kill you. I am given you just two days to get back to me if you are ready to pay $20,000 or I will carry on with my job.

WARNING: DO NOT CONTACT POLICE OR TELL ANY ONE, FOR I DO THAT I WILL
KNOW AND I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY.

DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:pM UNTILL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE VEDIO TAPE OF MY DISCOUSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WHANT YOU
DEAD THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION ON HIM.
GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY.

Wow, I knew Peter Merry and I weren't getting along but he didn't have to put a contract out on me.

Seriously, most of this crap comes from Nigeria. Time to put up mail washer.
 
They are also getting a lot better with the "want to hire your DJ services" spam.

The English grammar and syntax is improving.
The locations are becoming more credible.

The GOOD thing about the Nigerian spam, is that I can tell an "E-mail only" prospect the following:

"Due to the proliferation of Nigerian e-mail scams, we are only able to give pricing information by telephone. Please provide us with a phone number, and the best time to call, and we will promptly get in touch with you personally. Or, you may phone us at our number (below). Thank you for understanding. DJ-MC Entertainment. (phone #)"
 
It's the people you pissed off with the loud GD music ;) :D:D:D:D
 
Tom,
I'd be insulted......I think your life is worth more than $20,000:sqwink:

Seriously though....i would think the feds would have to follow up on a death threat....no matter how silly it is. Not that i have any idea how that tracking stuff works, but i would think they would be able to trace it.
 
I did reply to him that I would pray for him. Here's his reply:

I would't have wrote to you at all if I know that you you are
going to be this unapriciative. But for the fact that i have dicided
to help you I will give you the benefit of another 24hours to make up
your mind on this if your paying the money and have the tape or should I move on with my job as I have been paid for that.

YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DECISION YOU MAKE.

WARNING: YOU ARE TO BE STAYING INDOORS AS FROM 7.00PM UNTILL THIS
WHOLE THING IS SORTED OUT THAT IS IF YOU WISH TO BE ALIVE.
YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT SO REPLY AT ONCE.
GOOD LUCK

I replied back:

On second thought, I am not going to pray for you, I'm going to curse you.

May this curse be on your head and on the head of all of your family for all time! May nothing you do come to any good. May all of your days be lived in pain and suffering. May all you have no love in your life, only hatred of you and your family for all eternity. May you wish for death but death not come.

There's only one way to lift this curse.

Pay me the sum of $2 million. That's my price.

Now, if he is a Nigerian, superstition still plays a big role in their life. I just called his bluff big time and turned the tables.

Matt, I like that way of thinking.
 
SPAM the idiot.

Tom,

With all due respect -- two wrongs don't make a right...

Fifth-Third-Twenty-Second-Whatever Bank still keeps emailing me to update my account info :sqerr:

I sometimes get peed off, because of the crap that comes in my inbox and real mailbox. But, giving them more than the delete key, is more than they are worth.

Just my humble opinion (but if ya need to borry a gun, let me know). :sqbiggrin:
 
See and I'm sitting here thinking it would *REALLY SUCK* if this email was for real.
 
Tom, I really wish you hadn't responded to that email.

A response verifies your email address as valid. Be prepared for the spam floodgates to open. :eek:
