Australia: Hoax text and email threatens recipient with death
More than 100 people have contacted South Australian
police after receiving a threatening email or text message saying they are
being targeted by a killer.
Police say the emails and texts on Monday include the
line: "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:

A spokesman says police are treating it as a scam and
there is no need for more people to file a report.
"Please delete the message. Do not pay any money,
there is no need to be alarmed," the spokesman said.
