The “SOMEONE WANTS YOU DEAD” Scam

You receive an e-mail  (or maybe a letter in the mail)  that tells you that "someone close to you" wants you dead !!!!  They claim they have already been paid and that "People" have been checking on you and they know where you live, Family info., etc.  Ready? Here it comes..... wait for it !!!!    Ta Da -- You can avoid being killed by sending them $8,000.00 cash !!!  Then, when they receive the cash, they will meet with you and give you "Tape Recordings" of the phone conversations they had with the person who wanted you dead. They will give you the tape for another $7,000.00 cash........ They tell you that then, they will not kill you and you can use the Tapes for whatever legal action you like... well, isn't that swell of them !! ??  --  Don't let these knuckleheads bully you. This is a SCAM of the lowest type !!!!  If you get one of these and you feel uncomfortable about it, please feel free to contact your local Law Enforcement and they will be glad to work with you ----- Sheriff Karl Dailey
