The FBI says scam artists are putting a new twist on a death threat hoax.

The FBI says scam artists are putting a new twist on a death threat hoax.

In early December, the FBI warned of an e-mail scam where the sender said he'd been paid to kill you, but would let you live if you gave him thousands of dollars.

Now, there's a new e-mail going around, supposedly from the FBI in London.

It says police recently arrested someone for several murders in the U.S. and Britain, connected to the original e-mail.

Supposedly, the suspect was carrying information identifying you as the next victim.

The email asks you to respond in order to help with the investigation.

The FBI says, do not respond to these e-mails. Doing so could compromise your personal information, and open you up to identity theft.
