Bogus Hit Man E-Mail Tries To Get Personal Info

A new e-mail scam is trying a new tactic to gain a victim's confidence: It claims that he or she is the target of a hit man. In the scam the sender poses as the FBI London office, claims that the hit man in question has just been arrested for the murder of someone else, and says that evidence seized during the arrest suggested that the recipient of the e-mail is next on the hit man's list.
