I don't have the time for a drink from the cup

So I don't post in AGES and then I do and it's THIS? Argh.

Anyways - I check my email today upon getting home from running errands and find this in my inbox, in fact in my convetion email inbox. I know it's a new twist on a scam - but it's no less creepy. And yes - it's copies inclusive of horrid spelling and lack of proper application of capital letters.

Subject line: "be careful..."

Text as follows:
"Attn.
This is the only way i could reach you, I Want you be very carefull about this and keep the secreat with you till i make out space for us to see, You have no need of knowing who i am, where am from,till i make out a space for us to see, i have being paid in advance to terminate you with some reasons listed to me by my employer,its one i believe you call a friend,i have followed you closely for one week and five days now and have seen that you are innocent of the accusation,Do not contact the police or try to send a copy of this to them, because if you do i will know, and might be pushed to do what i have being paid to do,beside this the first time i turned out to be a betrayer in my job.

Looks like a new twist on extortion/scam emails. How fun.
