Subject: [SECURITY] Phishing attempt



One of our professors received the message below in his e-mail inbox
last

night.  Have any of you seen this one recently?  I know it was making
the

rounds about a year ago.





Body of message.....



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 we needed 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,

$10,000 is all you need to spend You will first of all pay $5,000 then I

will send a tape to you which i recorded every discusion i had with the

person who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay
the

remaining $5,000. 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 .
