I just received a death threat email trying to extort money. What I don't get is why would they tell me and ask for $25,000 to spare my life when they could get paid $100,000 to kill me. This person claims that someone I know wants me dead. Why $25,000 and $100,000 when my life is absolutely priceless. My life is worth so much more. He told me not to bother notifying the Police. That is exactly what I did. I just found out that apparently this is a mass email scam. If they knew anything about me and had investigated me as they said in the email, they would know that I don't have $25,000. I don't even have $5,000 to give anyone. So they wouldn't get any money to spare my life. All this is happening while I am waiting for my husband's murder trials. I will have to go through two trials, one for each suspect. The best thing to do with death threat scams is to report them to the Police, don't take them lightly. The man who murdered my husband spent months stalking, following, and threatening my husband while he and his girlfriend planned and conspired to murder him. Both suspects are out on bond right now while we wait for trials. So I will not take anything lightly and report things like this. It is better to be safe than sorry. The Police recommended that I be alert, aware, careful, cautious and report anything suspicious like this as we wait for trial. Just when I start to relax a little, something happens and it is back to maximum security again. For a Murder Victim Survivor, something like a death threat email scam is enough to freak you out. I've had enough of stuff like that. I'm tired of going through all of this and living like this. Unfortunately, my son and I have to live with this for the rest of our lives. You don't get over it or forget. We just have to live with it. No one deserves to have to live like this. No one deserves what happened to my husband. I think I will starting writing and preparing my Victim's Impact Statement. We have a tentative date for the 1st trial set for November 15th. I want to make a very emotional and political statement. I would like to really touch the hearts of everyone in the courtroom and let the Victim's Voices be heard in this case. They need to know that my husband was someone very special and he is loved so very much by me and my son. He has other family and friends that love and miss him. Not a day goes by that I don't love, miss and think of my husband so much all day. My son will miss out on one of the most important things in life, the love between a father and a son. I have never loved anyone the way I love my husband. No one has ever made me feel the way he did. I will always love him. He is always in my heart, soul, and memories. These murderers should be sent to Prison for the rest of their lives and never get out. Death should be the only way out for them. My husband was given and instant death penalty at the hands of evil, selfish and greedy murderers. My son and I were given a Life Sentence and death is the only way out for us. I keep praying for God to see to it that there is Justice for what they have done to my husband, son and I. I know that in the end God's Justice will prevail. God will have the final Judgement.

Oh my, I am so glad you called the police. What are they doing to try to find the person that's doing this? Or if you don't want to say here, I understand, no problem. How horrible, I can only imagine the terror you must have felt, especially when you first read it

Unbelievable! I am so glad to hear this was a scam email but still for someone who is going through this type of trauma to receive death threats is incomprehensible.
I can't believe the two degenerates are out on bond!!! I will be praying for these trials to begin next month and finish so that justice is served for you and your son.
Not prying but is there any way you can move after the trials are finished? Seems like you could use some new scenery.

Whether or not it is an email scam, no one should take death threat emails lightly. Don't respond to it and notify the Police. It is better to be safe than sorry. My dad spoke with the ADA the day after the death threat email was recieved, which was yesterday. My dad mentioned it to the ADA. He asked my dad to fax him a copy so he could have someone look into it. He said he may turn it over to the SBI. That may have happened, because after that my internet and email service was down for the rest of the day. Just got back up and running today. I have no clue what they discovered, if anything. No one seems to want to tell me anything or answer any of my questions. At least the local Police, Sherriff's Department, and ADA are aware of this. The ADA is preparing to move ahead with the case. As far as moving after the trials, I really wish I could leave this county, district and state and move far away. I can't afford to move and live anywhere else. My parents and my son are really all I have in this world. My mom has been battling Kidney Cancer. My son is also in a great program here for Autism. This used to be home and a safe harbour. I grew up here and my son was born here. This is the only home my son and I have known. It has not been home since my husband was murdered on April 26th. I will never really feel happy, safe, or at home here again. I really wish my son and I could move far away from here. When my parents die and their estate is settled and closed then my son and I will move far, far away from here. I will only return to this state to be buried next to my husband. Beware of email and internet scams, especially when they are entitled, "Your Life In Danger."

Beware of email and internet scams, especially when they are entitled, "Your Life In Danger." I'm so glad you didn't get into the mentality of many in society and not report this! It's wonderful that you did report this! There's this ###*** belief out there that words don't really hurt ( ), people who make threats usually never mean it, etc. What an EVIL LIE! I know how much words hurt your self-esteem, etc., as I was verbally abused by 1 parent until age 24. I know how serious threats should ALWAYS be taken from stuff I've read, have seen and from what others have experienced. It's a VERY serious thing. I hope these ###*** that did this to you do some prison time for their evil! If the ###*** that stalked/harrassed me on the job a few years ago HAD made any kind of threat, I would have pressed charges THEN. I'm very thankful the ###*** never has done that. I hope for the best for you with this situation! I think it's great you're holding them accountable, but also keeping on living your life and aren't giving in to their evil threats and shutting down your life in any way! Again, I wish you the best with this. Take care.

I got a phone call from an Investigator from the local Police Department today. He said, "You did Perfectly by reporting the Email Scam and not responding to it." He told me that it looks like it is just part of a Mass Scam to use scare tactics to extort money. It is unfortunately that some people would fall for these scams. I wouldn't fall for such stupidity. The people who pull scams like this should be caught, arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced. I wish someone could put a stop to this sort of thing before anyone else becomes a victim. With everything that I have been going through, I still need to be careful and aware of my surroundings. I am still aware that if anything happens I need to report it. Hopefully someone will help me in this County, District and State. I know I can't trust any officer from the Police Department that investigated my husband's disappearance and murder. I also know I can't trust anyone from the Sherriff's Department and the DA's office who also investigated my husband's murder. I now live in a different town in the same county. Most of the local cops in this town have known me and my family for several years and they are much more apt to help us, like the Investigator who called me today. As far as living my life goes, life as my son and I knew it ended when my husband was murdered. What I have been going through, you never get over, forget or forgive. I have a 3 and 1/2 year old son who is living with Autism. He demands and requires so much time and attention. My life is all about protecting and raising my son. Twenty years or so from now may'be I will be able to live a little, although I will be too old by then to do much of anything. My mother pissed me off again today by running her mouth and telling someone that I say I will never marry again and that she believes I shouldn't limit myself or close that door forever and that I need to find someone who could deal with my son's special needs. I have tried to tell my mother that I will never marry or even date again. It is just not sinking in with her. I wish everyone would leave me alone about dating or getting married again. I will always love my husband, he will always be my son's father. What I have been through and will continue to go through you don't get over or forget. You just have to live with it. I don't have anything to offer to any man. My son and I would be nothing but a financial, emotional, psychological and physical burden that no man deserves, needs or wants. I don't want my son and I getting attached to anyone, especially my son, and then suddenly he dissappears from our lives and we have to deal with more loss and changes. I am living my life by taking care of my son and getting him out places and making sure he has some fun. I know all of this has affected him and I hate it. I don't want my son to worry, cry or be upset by any of this. That is my job. I just want my son to be happy, healthy and continue to improve and progress. I keep praying for Justice for my husband's murder and Justice for everything my son and I have been put through since his murder. My heart and prayers goes out to all Murder Victim Survivors everyday.
