Recently a friend of mine received an oddly worded email threatening that he would be killed unless he was prepared to buy off the sender. I had something similar last year, and took it to the police. I hope I'm not unduly paranoid but a few years ago I was involved in dismissing a library assistant who turned out to be a very nasty and persistent stalker, and whom I have seen since in circumstances unlikely to have been coincidental.) Anyway, the Metropolitan Police's computer crime people hadn't seen anything like it before. They told me they were pretty sure it was just a nasty variation on the money laundering scam, but that if I was murdered they would find this very helpful in catching the culprit (or words to that effect). It's clearly not an isolated case, and I'm just wondering how common this is. Tony Tony McSean +20 7502 1067 +44 7946 291780
