YT 500 Club Member | A very Scary email I just received this in my email address, is this one of those scams how would i go about reporting it? Hello I am very sorry for you Xxxxxx, is a pity that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see there is no need of introducing myself to you because I don't have any business with you, my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that. Someone you call a friend wants you Dead by all means, and the person have spent a lot of money on this, the person also came to us and told me that he wanted you dead and he provided us with your name ,picture and other necessary information's about you. So I sent my boys to track you down and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for the operation 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 since their findings shows that you are innocent. I called my client back and ask him of your email address which I didn't tell him what I wanted 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 they are telling me everything about you. Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? As someone has paid us to kill you. Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your life, $7,000 is all you need to spend You will first of all pay $3,000 then I will send a tape to you which I recorded every discussion i had with the person who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay the remaining $4,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with my job straight-up. WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW.REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING FUNNY. DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY EMAIL:deathdealerrip@gmail.com

| Yikes! some people have a vivid imagination and too much time on their hands. but this is scary. Kinda like those threatening phone calls we see in the movies. Perhaps you should forward it to the authorities. I do not know who that would be though? FCC? I hope it is nothing but I think the IP address can be traced.

| if you google the email it was sent from, it was mentioned on a scamreport website, but the link doesn't seem to work, same exact email, if it wasn't you that posted it then possibly this email was just mass sent to try to get money etc. definately contact the police

| This is terrible! I don't blame you for being scared. Even if it is a scam, it's still unnerving to get that email. I think you should report it. I saw a movie like that once...these scammers must have watched it too! Hugs to you! Let us know what the police say!

| I have read about this before. I hate this one in particular, because even though you KNOW it's a scam and you KNOW they don't know who you are, and you KNOW your friends don't want you dead (or at least you THINK they forgave what you pulled at that last birthday party ) it's so personal that it still affects you. And I HATE letting morons affect me!!!

| That's not just a scam, that's extortion. I'm sure it's well-known to law enforcement, but you should contact them anyway and report it. It would scare me too. Hugs.

| Please contact the police. That is awful. If there is nothing they can do I am sure they can at least advise you what to do next or who you could report this to.
