Full Feed“Hit Man” spam returns
So called “Hit Man” spam is back. This type of spam attempts to extort people rather than sell them things or trick them into installing malware on their system. Basically, they get an email from someone claiming they have been hired to kill them but if they pay a certain amount the hit man will walk away rather than complete the job. It’s similar to ransomware and scareware in that all of them attempt to trick the victim into sending money.
This latest attack features emails claiming to be from someone in a group called the Ishmael Ghost Islamic Group. The group member explains that they were hired to kill the recipient and would also kill their family - but if they send $800 via Western Union they can save their lives and those of their loved ones. The Islamic mention is surely there to further frighten and inflame in hopes of convincing the recipient the email is real and the need to send money critical.
If you receive an email like this, ignore it. It’s a complete hoax and you are in no danger. Don’t send any money and don’t even reply as that can get you put on a list of people who read spam and that means even more of it will flood your inbox.

Sorry if anyone talk to about that Islamic groups is wrong.
If any one do this activity has no cast creed and their own identity.
So I request you please never try to mention the name Islamic.
Since we have five fingers but all are not similar to each other so think like this.
But keep distance and avoid unknown messages.
Thanx for Kind Information.
