Hitman Email

February 2008 - Consumers have reported an increase of emails sent by a supposed hit man hired to 'assassinate' the recipient.  The sender demands a large sum of money in return for not carrying out the mission.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre has many copies of these emails on file.  Should you receive such a solicitation, do not respond to it and delete it.
