E-Mail Scam - "Death Threat" Scam Uses Fear To Con Recipients
Claiming to be hit men, particularly despicable spammers are now sending e-mail messages telling recipients they've been paid to kill them. The intention is to frighten people into coughing up a substantial amount of money (or their bank account details) to pay for a reprieve. Recipients are also warned not to contact authorities, with the threat that the sender might be forced to carry out the hit if they do.
The swindle, referred to by Internet security organizations as the "419 death threat," contains multiple grammar and spelling errors — a possible indication that the spammers are not skilled in the English language. Several variations of the text are circulating, but they all mention a contract for assassination worth thousands of dollars, and the claim that the recipient is being watched and followed. The spam e-mail then asks the recipient to contact a drop box of a free e-mail provider if he/she "wants to live again."
If you receive a spam message like this, just delete it. If you respond, your e-mail address will be a validated target for future scams. The FBI recommends you also notify your local, state, or federal law enforcement agency immediately and file a complaint with the IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center) at www.ic3.gov.

Ask The Help Desk - How Do I Save A Partially Composed E-Mail Message So I Can Finish It Later?
Question: When I am writing an e-mail message, sometimes I get interrupted or need to dash off to an appointment before my message is completed and sent. I'm afraid to leave it open on my computer where anyone can look at it. If I wait to start it again when I have more time, I might forget to write it at all.
Answer: An easy solution is to save the unfinished e-mail as a "Draft" in the "Drafts" folder. If you start a new e-mail message in Outlook Express and can't finish it, just make sure you have something in the Subject line to identify it and then click on the message's "Close Box" (red square with a white "x" in the upper right hand corner of the message). If you do this without sending the message, Outlook Express will bring up a dialog box that asks, "Do you want to save the changes to this message?" Click on the "Yes" button. The "Saved Message" dialog box will appear and tell you that "The saved message has been saved in your 'Drafts' folder." Click "OK" and you're done. When you are ready to finish your message sometime in the future, simply go to your "Drafts" folder, open the partially completed e-mail message, add your text, and then send your message as usual.
Most e-mail software clients have a Draft feature. If you are using something other than Outlook Express, practice with an e-mail message to see how the process works with your particular e-mail client software.
