First: Have you seen the movie “Leon” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110413/)? That guy could not even write, but he makes a hell of a hit man. So be afraid – very afraid!

Second: I’d say this is spam (it has been reported as such from several sources), but I would report it to the police anyway – if only to make them take the spammer off the (electronic) street.

Hey, Zaphod, hadn’t you heard? The Altairian dollar has recently collapsed. You should convert all your liquid assets into one of the other freely-convertible currencies, although the choice is a bit tricky. After all, the Flanian Pobble-Bead is only exchangeable for other Flanian Pobble-Beads, and the Trigannic Pu doesn’t really count as money (its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin 6,800 miles along each side, no-one has ever collected enough to own one Pu; Ningis are not negotiable currency because the galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change).

Here is the story on Foxnews.

(and..sorry about the double post above)

Speaking as someone in computer security, you’re right to be rather unconcerned. This spam/scam has been circulating for a while, as several have pointed out. Personally, I love getting them. Tracing back through the relays to the original sender is good for a bit of amusement – and sometimes responding to a supposed assassin with “How are you going to kill me from a web cafe in Liberia?” is good for a giggle.

Cheers,

You’re probably not dead yet because of the usual speed and incompetence of government departments.

Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they already killed three people with the name ‘Philip Plate’, a couple of ‘bad astrologers’, and Adam Savage from Mythbusters.

‘mute

I thought I had gotten every form of spam, but I didn’t get this.

Yeah, tell ‘em youse gots friends looking after things.

They bettah be careful if dey knose what’s good for ‘em, see?

In my head, I was reading the thing with what I’m sure is a completely horrible Nigerian accent. Then I hit this line and suddenly my inner voice was vintage black-and-white Cagney. “Yeah, so I sent my boys to track you down, see?”

BTW, this scam has been circulating for years. It is originating in Nigeria so there is really nothing that can be done about it. The FBI does collect these to track a pattern of distribution.

BTW, it was probably posted through an open SMTP relay and is untraceable.

So I sent my boys to track you down

=BWHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA ROFLMAO=

Some joik out in da backass end o’ some pissant country nobody evuh hoid of has been watchin’ way too many old gangstuh pitchuhs! Ya doity rat, do wot he tellz yez, oah he’s gonna send duh Enfoahsuh aftuh yez, see? An’ he’s gonna make yez watch while he busts up yuh Dobsonian. An’ den he’s gonna do a little tap dance on yez so you’ll nevuh get intuh anudduh Skepdude Calenduh fuh duh rest o’ yuh life.

@Chip: If you open one of those “I am going to [FITB with appropriate erotic fantasy] you” e-mails with a picture of [FITB with appropriate fellow participant(s) in erotic fantasy] attached, I refuse to be responsible for all the hours you’ll spend tracking down and cleaning out all the crapware that tags along with it.

However, I just might volunteer to harangue you about “You should have bought a Mac.”

(Both of which I’ve done twice in the last year after a friend of mine DLd a couple of “loaded” screensavers. If anything, that $#!+ is worse than any spam death threat.)

@dhtroy & Zaphod: WIN x 2!

@Blu-Ray-Ven Wait a minute, I thought Ted Haggard wasn’t out to get men any more. Oh, that wasn’t what you meant? Oops, my bad….
