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."
