I recall someone on ThaiVisa mentioning that they had received such a threat (e-mail, I believe). Well this one is making the rounds in Australia and will surely find its way to Thailand (if not already). Just beware and ignore....

Excerpt:

"The message reads: "Sum1 paid me to kill you. Get spared, 48hrs to pay $5000. If you inform the police or anybody, death is promised." It then directs the recipient to contact them at a Yahoo email account.

Police say seniors and those not familiar with the Internet are most likely to get scammed."

Get a life Berkshire... I dont think anyone who reads this fourm would be stupid enough to even look twice at a email like that.

Judging by some of the posts on ThaiVisa, there are plenty of stupid people here.

Agree with that.

Just pay up.

Where is Payboy when you need him?

It was on the news here in Oz this evening, apparently it was coming from abroad.. advice = delete immediately .

Not much happening in the world apparently !

I've already paid. Twice, seems to be more than one after me......................

Can't think who I upset

It must be genuine, they didn't kill you!

Exactly he should be happy he's still walking around.

paid to kill you could be real, in thailand. in-laws very likely

So when I get the text message in Thailand, I should worry about it? (trying awfully hard to make this even 1% thai related, perhaps the fact that there are aussies in Thailand helps, but then again, if that was the case, all we would have is wallabingbang 30 kookaburasatontree 20 rugby scores lol)

I wrote back that I have no money.I gave them the e-mail address of my wife.

Not Thai-related.
