SMS Death Threat Scam

There’s a new scam being sent by SMS, similar to an email one sent recently. The SMS reads:

Someone paid me to kill you. If you want me to spare you, I’ll give you two days to pay $5000. If you inform the police or anybody, you will die, I am monitoring you.

The SMS also includes payment details and an email address.

This is a scam, do not contact the sender or send any money. The Australian Police has issued a warning about this. They also mention that money being paid by victims is being transferred to Thailand.

Let friends and family know about this scam so that they don’t fall victim to it.
