Hit-man threat
October 2007
An Ocean County, New Jersey resident reported an email from a so-called Eddy saying “I know that 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.” The sender, then, demanded $8,000 in exchange for sparing his life. The email also warned the recipient not to contact any friends or relatives about the message because they might be involved in the murder plot. However, after conducting some research on the internet, the man discovered that a similar email scam had been running in Arizona. The F.B.I. received 115 reports of similar emails in less than one month last winter from around the country claiming amounts of money up to $80,000.
