The police really don’t have the
resources or know how to follow up on a complaint such as this.. I really don’t
think it will go much further than an “oh yes, we know.. we’re
doing something about that for sure!”

Philip, you are way out
of line. This is a death threat and must be reported to the police, and chased
to make sure they do act. We are about the only group who would laugh at this
type of threat. Many people would feel threatened (phishing attacks do have
successes) even though they would think it mistaken identity. Scott, how
about keeping us informed of how the police react?
I must admit I found the Yahoo travel ad at the end rather deliciously
amusing.

Pete Macaulay

Basically the Police are only interested if someone is in immediateharm, and even then I wouldn't be confident in getting a response.

Alternatively, while you might not take it too seriously, under lawits a pretty big deal. Personal death threats are a criminal offence.I'd be forwarding it on to the local authorities, even if it provesimpossible to trace the email. On 22/08/07, Barry Murphy <barry@unix.co.nz> wrote:
