I just can't believe the sickos out there. I also would have thought the FBI would have been a little more....something????

Oh my gosh - that's scary. I'd pee my pants if I got an email like that! Very smart of you to google that and what a relief to find out it's "just" a scam. Yikes!!!!! How cruel.

AngieDoogles 09-11-2007 10:39 AM

Wow Judy! That's horrible! The things people will say and do to get money... :mad:

I think that there's a clue in the e-mail for us. He can't talk properly. I believe that people from England can put sentences together better than that!:interesting: If someone sent that to me, I'd be laughing my head off!!!!!! :sidesplit: Who wants to hire a hit man to kill a farmer and his family!!!!!:scratchhead:

Tink 09-11-2007 12:21 PM

How insane.

Diana, didnt you watch westerns as a kid?!?
Some sheep farmer... dirty varmint that they are, probably wants to drive you off your claim to let his filthy critters eat your pastures down to the roots.

ROFL

DianaB 09-12-2007 09:05 AM

I had forgotten about "those" kind of farmers!!!!:eek:

:sidesplit: :sidesplit: :sidesplit:

judy 09-12-2007 04:52 PM

Don't forget that he's the only seer in London! ?????

I wasn't scared - it was so obviously a scam (by the terrible English, the fact that I'm not really important enough to murder, and I'm not one of those varmint farmers) - but, you're right Janet. The FBI, although they certainly are aware of these scams, do nothing other than to tel you to ignore it, don't ever answer them and delete it. I suppose if you're freaking out they calm you down.

I think when someone emails you that they're going to murder you though, they should at least ask you to forward the email. I offered!

Tink 09-12-2007 05:01 PM

Oh Diana, you can never let your guard down with THAT kind around! LOL

Judy, isn't it sad that there are people so dense they'd actually fall for that though? I mean DANG I wonder who helps them boot up their computer? ;)

Now that's the real problem. Hit me once, you're a fool - hit me twice...I'm the fool.
How stupid are people anyway?

My father had an aunt who fell for a scam years ago. We all felt bad for her, but couldn't believe that she was that dumb!

I got a new one today - some other nonsense. I did respond with

"May the fleas of 1000 camel infest your armpits."

I know you're not supposed to respond, but I can't resist. I love that answer. Got it from another site.

:yelrotflmao: Judy showing her spunk. LOL You go girl!

That should teach him not to mess around with you!!!!!:sidesplit: :sidesplit: :sidesplit:

It is one of my favs! I think I'm going to send it to the English murderer too.
There's a picture that goes with it of a funny flea.

AngieDoogles 09-14-2007 10:07 AM

How funny Judy! I love your spunk (perfect description btw Tink!)
