Death Threat

by John F Thielking (pagesincolor [at] aol.com)
I am soo proud of myself. I just recieved my very first death threat. This is 48 hours after helping host the Peace and Freedom Party forum on the crisis in the SEIU. Coincidence? You decide.
I recieved the following message from a (probably fake name) Fred Oliver. Make of it what you will. But if I do end up dead at least there was a record of this BS and a complaint.

Urgent

Hello, I want you to know that I was paid by a client to assassinate
you and I signed a contract of 50,000 USD for it. I never met you
before, but they gave me a full description of your identity and
contact and your picture with my boys which was used to track you. The
reason they want you Dead was not disclosed to me as I had no right to
know, but you're no better than dead ok.

My boys are now contantly watching you, they follow you, everywhere
you go and are waiting for my instruction to terminate your life .
THIS IS MY MESSAGE --

LISTEN WELL !!!!, the Police can not do much to help you with this
because you are monitored, any such attempt is very risky because you
push us to terminate your life without option . Your calls are not
safe because you are bugged already. I have no business with you, but
at least I am the way, but in you may have a chance to live again if
you can contact me not latter that 24 hours after this message.

Goodluck!

Fred Oliver


^%^%^&%^& you Fred Oliver whoever your sorry ass is. If you do carry out your threat please know that the people who host your gmail account probably know who exactly you really are. So I would not make any false moves if I were you.
I received the exact same email. I got a laugh out of it and reported it as
spam. Now I wish I would have kept a copy. Maybe I could have back tracked it.

Sounds like a weird scam from Nigeria or some internet cafe hell-hole.
With the new world wide access and economic meltdown this is probably
just the start of a trend. Fred, whowver you are, get yourself a Mac and an
iphone and program a game or a swahilli rude phrase book or African
fart noises. You would probably make the money you need legally.

I recently joined a new Philippino philosophy group and signed up for a site that
promotes "the law of attraction". I never heard of John's SEIU peace
and labor groups, so I don't see a common denominator.
