EMAIL SCAM : HITMAN

An email similar to this one (below) has been circulating.  Please be aware that this is a scam and this type of email has been circulating for years in various forms.

Please let your loved ones know, especially those who are not as "Internet savvy."  Email fraud is serious and every year unwitting individuals pay large sums of money to these scam artists.

Subject: Someone you call a friend wants you Dead
GOOD DAY......

I am very sorry for you. It is a pity that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see there is no need of introducing myself to you because I don't have any business with you, my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that.
Someone you call a friend wants you Dead by all means, and the person have spent a lot of money on this, the person also came to us and told me that he wanted you dead and he provided us with your name ,picture and other necessary information's we needed about you. So I sent my boys to track you down and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for the operation on you, and they have done that but I told them not to kill you that I will like to contact you and see if your life is Important to you or not since their findings shows that you are innocent.

I called my client back and ask her of your email address which I didn't tell her what I wanted to do with it and he gave it to me and I am using it to contact you now. As I am writing to you now my men are monitoring you and they are telling me everything about you.

Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? As someone has paid us to kill you, Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your life, $15,000 is all you need to spend You will first of all pay $2,000 then I will send a tape to you which i recorded every discussion I had with the person who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay the remaining $13,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with my job straight-up.

WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW.REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING FUNNY.

DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 10:00PM UNTIL YOU GET THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY

Changes are in the wind!!!

The old Wrentham Police Website is being taken down.  Don't panic!!!  This new site will provide you with relevant and up to date information that the old website could not. 

After a long discussion, it was determined that the best way to disseminate information to the public is through the Facebook, Twitter and Blog pages.  It is far too difficult to maintain a website without having a fulltime employee devoted to the task of keeping it up to date.  Blogs, Facebook and Twitter, on the other hand, can be easily updated by cell phone if necessary.

So it only makes sense for the Wrentham Police to support the pages we believe can help the public the most with the limited resources we must work with.

Over the next days and weeks, I will add links to this page that will allow users to download forms, crash reports and other documents directly rather than have to come to the station to get them.  I will keep you all updated when new resources become available.

Please bear with me over the weeks and months ahead... I am learning as I go!

If you have any concerns or comments, feel free to email feedback@police.wrentham.ma.us
