419ers Diversify Into Assassination Threats?

Richardsonke1 writes "Just when you thought 419ers couldn't get any worse, now they are sending death threats, according to a story at The Register. The emails require you to 'produce a mandatory sum of US$40,000.00 {FOURTHY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS} only,into our account given below in nigeria within ninety six hours{96},alternatively you will be SNIPPED and GUNNED down during the period of our oncoming anniversary of fifty years.' All joking of 'snipping' aside, for those people who fall for regular 419 emails, this would terrify many gullible web users."

Or better, the US could bomb the hell out of the country and invade it. Do they have oil over there?

If major governments can be convinced these are "terroristic threats" we might actually get some police action...

Maybe, if there is a Haliburton gas pipeline that needs to go throught their property.

Mod this into the dirt, I don't care.

I'm beating a dead horse. Apologies in advance...

In Nigeria, spam assassinates YOU!

Of course, he won't bother checking to see if the spammer was actually IN Nigeria before invading.
