New Phisher Tactic: Pay Me Or I'll Kill You
Source: InformationWeek
____________ A new scam arriving in e-mail inboxes contains a death threat, a security company said Friday, and marks a new low in fraudster tactics. The spammed message claims to come from a professional hit man who supposedly has orders to murder the recipient, but will drop the contract if he is paid $80,000. The "killer" says he has been shadowing the recipient for 10 days, and will produce taped evidence of the planned killing for a down payment of $20,000. "Do not contact the police or FBI or try to send a copy of this to them, because if you do i will know, and might be pushed to do what i have being paid to do, beside [sic], this is the first time I turned out to be a betrayer in my job," the e-mail reads.
