Wow,I just got this in my e-mail and I don't know what to do.Needless to say I haven't gone outside or unlocked my doors since I received this warning.

Well I did cut my grass and go to the mail box and blew off my car port but other than that I've stayed inside hunkered down with weapon in hand.

My question is,should I contact the police or try to get someone to teach this guy how to add?

Worried In Alabama.


Attn:

This is the only way I could contact you for now,I want you to be very
careful about this and keep this secret with you until I make out space
for us to see. You have no need of knowing who I am or where I am from.I
know this may sound very surprising to you but it's the situation.I have
been paid some ransom in advance to terminate you with some reasons listed
to me by my employer.It's someone I believe you call a friend, I have
followed you closely for a while now and have seen that you are innocent
of the accusations he leveled against you.Do not contact the police or try
to send a copy of this to them,because if you do, I will know,and I might
be pushed to do what I have been paid to do.Besides, this is the time I
turn out to be a betrayer in my job.I took pity on you,that is why I have
made up my mind to help you if you are willing to help yourself.


Now listen,I will arrange for us to see face to face,but before that, I
need $8,500. I will come to your home or you determine where you wish we
meet;I repeat, do not arrange for the cops and if you play hard to get, it
will be extended to your family.Do not set any camera to cover us or set
up any tape to record our conversation, my employer is in my control now.
Payment details will be provided for you to make a part payment of $2, 500
first,which will serve as grantee that you are ready to you
co-operate,then i will post a copy of the video tape that contains his
request for me to terminate you which will be enough evidence for you to
take any legal action against him before he employs another person for the
job. You will pay the balance of $5000 once you receive the tape.

Warning; do not contact the police, make sure you stay indoors once it is
7.30pm until this whole thing is sorted out,if you neglect any of these
warnings, you will have yourself to blame. You do not have much time, so
get back to me immediately

Note:I will advise you keep this to yourself alone, not even a friend or a
family member should know about it because it could be one of them.

Sending that kind of an email to someone in the deep South is a good way for someone to get killed...and it won't be the guy from the deep South.

A quick google shows this (of course) to be a relatively common scam. Report it, but don't worry - it's stupid and harmless.

Definitely a scam but the way its worded I'm sure the FBI would be interested in it.
Those kind of threats have to be worth 25 to life.
