The FBI is warning of a new e-mail scam involving a purported "hitman."
The e-mail circulating warns of a hitman hired by a close friend or relative to kill the recipient, but they have a chance to live if they pay the amount demanded in the e-mail. Federal agents said the "hitman with a heart" scam began in 2006, and is resurfacing again.
The FBI said anyone who receives the e-mail should notify federal authorities at the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov, then delete the e-mail or ignore it.
