Hitman Scam Alert

Hitman Scam Resurfaces

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) have reissued warnings of a scam spread via both email and SMS.

The "Hitman" scam involves recipients receiving an SMS or email stating something along the lines of

“Sum1 paid me to kill you. get spared, 48hrs to pay $5000. If you inform the police or anybody, death is promised…E-mail me now: killerking247yahoo.com.”

Do not repsond to this sms or email as the scammers will then try to extort money form you in order to stop the supposed (fake) threat to your life.
Ignoring them and deleting any messages is the best way to deal with this as responding will only confirm that the email or phone number is valid and is being read.
