Instant karma: Starman justice comes home to roost.

Found this in my e-mail today, between the offers for penis enlargement and $44,000,000 in a Nigerian bank account:

So if I suddenly disappear from SportsJournalists.com, you'll all know Mr. Tony Jack has struck again.

 

I think you should write an even more threatening e-mail back to him. Claim to be a member of the mob. Tell him you just got out of prison for serving a murder hitch.

 

Won't work on me. Few friends, all of whom are poor. If they got someone to do me pro bono, I could buy that, but otherwise no.

 

Or just forward to this site: www.ic3.gov. It's the FBI's e-mail scam center.

 

Dear Mr. Tony Jack:

If you plan to murder me, I certainly hope you plan to murder me "the right way."

Love,

Starman

 

"...I might just spear your life..."

Well, at least you know how you're going to get it.

 

Wow, that takes spam up another level. You have to think if the originator of that gets traced back, he's going to be in some trouble. Then again, maybe he is from a country where that sort of thing isn't frowned upon.

 

Tell him you slept with his wife.

 

What's the e-mail-response equivalent of upper-decking someone?

 

Apparently, I'm being threatened from beyond the grave by one of Detroit's most notorious mobsters:

And I suspect he would certainly know how to "murder the right way."

 

Surely the guy would be getting paid more than $8,000 to off you. No way he's gonna operate at a loss.

 

Maybe he gives a volume discount. Maybe hitmen are offering "buy one, get one free" or "get acquainted specials."
