deadly killers internet scam

Column by William Porter in the Denver Post;

New scam by the Nigerians, Paraphrase:

"I am very sorry for you, is a pity that this how your life will end. No need to introduce myself because I don't have any business with you, my duty is just to KILL you, as I have been paid to do that. Someone you call a friend wants you Dead -- but I will spare your life for $15,000, and send you a tape of the person.

"Don't call the police, don't come out after 7:00 pm."

They will take payments, however.

Since Mr. Porter was short of cash, he e-mailed back to the "Deadly Killers" asking if they take VISA.

If you Google the Denver Post you can probably find the column, and some of the brighter ones maybe can post a link. There is a lot more and it is hilarious.

I haven't seen this one yet. Very entertaining but, sadly, likely to be more successful in bilking people out of their dough than the money-trouble scams.

Even worse is, there are hundreds of thousands of people who fall for internet scams every year. Imagine what these poor, gullible souls will be thinking when they step outside to go to the market.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think it's time for ebola monkey man!!!!!!!!

You can always lay it right back on them with a good reply.
Something like "People die all the time. I'm ready. Are you?" Should shake 'em up a little.
