Just received this lovely number in my inbox... Anyone gotten one of these?

Dear Friend,

Goodday to you.

Am very sorry for you my friend, is a pity that this is how your life
is going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see there is
no need of introducing myself to you because I don't have any business
with you, my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL/ASSASINATE
you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that.

Someone you call a friend wants you Dead by all means, and the person
have spent a lot of money on this, the person also came to us and told
me that he want you dead and he provided us with your name, picture
and other necessary information's we needed about you. So I sent my
boys to track you down and they have carried out the necessary
investigation needed for the operation on you, and they have done that
but I told them not to kill you that I will like to contact you and
see if your life is Important to you or not since their findings shows
that you are innocent.

I called my client back and ask him of your email address which I
didn't tell him what I wanted to do with it and he gave it to me and I
am using it to contact you now. As I am writing to you now my men are
monitoring you and they are telling me everything about you.

Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? As someone has paid us to kill you.
Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your
life, If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with my
job straight-up.

WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELL ANYONE
BECAUSE I WILL KNOW. REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT
YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING
FUNNY.

DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:30PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND
GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD
AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH MY DEMANDS, THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE
ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY

Regards

Don

Hi vangoghsky! Welcome to Eater!
Yes, we have another hitlad here.:. http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=184690
They're not too common and are a lot of fun to bait!
Would you please post up the headers ?

Two hitlads in a week, things are improving!

Hot dog, a hitlad! jump_4_joy

Read stickies, read EU, bait safe and have fun. Very Happy

Not a new scam, but it's one that we baiters just love to play with. Very Happy

Unfortunately, however, it does terrify some credulous victims. Sad

Hey Fartina, I'm unsure of what you mean by "headers"... But tell me what they are and I'll post 'em! I'm using an iPhone so my email formatting is completely different.

Welcome vangoghsky

I don't suggest you bait his guy from your main e-mail. These kind of scammers are the real dregs. By headers they mean, try to send the technical details of the e-mail to use so we can track this idiot.

Read here http://luxsci.com/blog/viewing-the-message-source-full-headers-of-an-email.html

Also this 'genus' of scammer identified in my scammer genus post (comedy)

The Hitman a.k.a Hitlad Mugus (Lat: Deathicum): Scammer who makes threats to kill, either as part of a scam or after they find out they have been baited. Mostly harmless unless you take their e-mails seriously, then you might be cowering under your bed. Take heart, the closest they will ever get to you is the e-mail you are reading!

Species:

The Protector (Costnerii deathicum): Hitman sent to kill, but falls in love instead.
The Slow Bringer of Death (Borsus deathicum): Whose threats to kill you by the end of the week still fail to materialise months down the line. BE WARNED: This might actually be an attempt to bore you to death.

I was always curious on baiting a hitlad but I never had the courage to do so. Although I did send one email to a hitlad and he never responded. How rude. Rolling Eyes

If you go to this site it will tell you how to find the headers in whatever email company that he's using.

Ohhhh, I see! Sorry for being dense. Smile

His email address is [email protected] (oooh, REAL scary) and I shall retrieve the rest of the info when I can get to my laptop (my weird-ass iPhone won't display much besides the text of the message).

I did not receive this message in my regular email but in my catcher inbox. I have not done any baiting so far but I have been reading threads and tips like crazy. Perhaps I'll pop my scambaiting cherry with this one!

Posted: Sat May 22, 2010 8:46 am

That's fine. The headers won't tell us where he is as he's using Gmail.
Certainly nobody but a hitlad would have an email address like that.

Posted: Sat May 22, 2010 10:49 am

Hitlads are loads of fun. Let him think that you believe his story, are really scared, and will do anything to stop him from carrying out his threat. Of course, something will always get in the way of actually paying him. He will respond with increasingly ridiculous threats.

You can extend the drama by making up some character that has a grudge against you (ex-wife, business partner, disgruntled employee, etc.). You can use this other character to spin the bait off on all kinds of wild tangents.

Have fun!

Wasn't sure if I'd try this one or not, but that E-mail address makes me think he'll be fun to mess with, lol. Rolling Eyes

Anyways, welcome to Eater. Very Happy

Pick up a drink at the bar, relax in the comfy seats, and don't get too close to the squirrel - he bites! Wink

Woop woop, the third hit lad in two weeks. Woo hoo!

Posted: Sat May 22, 2010 8:14 pm

Dont want to dive into someone's else waters. Is he free to bait?

Posted: Sat May 22, 2010 9:21 pm

Hit lads, in my experience, are vicious but stupid. They are easy to spin along and too greedy and lazy to do any proper work. As stated, they really are the dregs of Lad society. Do have fun, he will be great entertainment and good practice for harder targets.

Hit the HitLad!! Very Happy

Deathicum: A rare but fun species that seems to be multiplying slowly.
We may have to take it off the protected species list shortly as it could soon be classed as a pest.

However, in over 1000 lads to be trapped in the Fowan catcher, no signs of the genus Deathicum have ever been spotted.

Make the most of your visitation. You may never come across one again! Evil or Very Mad

Welcome vangoghsky,

I used to get upset about hitlads, I've got Bala Hassan in my sig. I've had 3 death threats over time. I really enjoy baitin' 'em now.
@scam-dum-doo was woop, woop the sound of "mail's in, thank you thing?

We can have fun with his name. Are we all on the same page with
"DONG uns hot" instead of Don Gunshot ? I'm still having convos with Gaylord or wtf his name is. He doesn't mind outbreaks of Tourette's as long as you mention money

Hey gang, here's my opener for DONG. I'm playing this one way different

I got your email so I rigged my property with trip wires and bombs.

already on their way to the fishing place. but i dont want your boys to
get me. The juju preist told me i need...

Woo hoo hit lads! I got a few a while back and yeah they are a blast to bait. happy crowd

I wonder....since hitlads are so rare...

Is it possible to "turn" a NOK/lotto/what-have-you lad into a hitlad by sending out a "Don't kill me! I'll do anything" ASEM? Would that convince them to just go along with it? I might try it one of these days.

Yes. I believe it's possible.
That's what I do very often. I dont turn them into hitlads but I push them to completely different kind of scam. They, most probably, dont have script or good script and soon they will be lost in their own scam.
This is really nice to reveal lad's intelligence, to see how he reacts completely off script. Smile

Awaiting permission.

This script is familiar. I had a hit lad ("Jake") who turned into a love lad very quickly. See my siggy for details. Very Happy

I responded, "no, my life is not important, and my innocent dog barks too much. Kill me now." Cool
