Australians hit by 'pay up or die' extortion text messages

Before you panic, think first:

Won't fly there, unlike here. People will be concerned and call the police before just blindly sending money.

"Sum1 paid me to kill you"

I hate it when people text like that. It's the height of laziness. It should be "Someone paid me to kill you." Sheesh.

Yes, Serrano, thank you for correcting the poor mail etiquette. The Grammar Police should be immediately dispatched to apprehend this individual.

I bet a wild kangaroo is being used out in Nigeria to scare our poor naive amigos down under!

Smells like a NIGERIAN SCAM!
