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.

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! If someone sent that to me, I'd be laughing my head off!!!!!! Who wants to hire a hit man to kill a farmer and his family!!!!!

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!

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.

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.
